Good article, except I disagree with his comments about alchohol. If it's not practical to outlaw porn, then tax the hell out of it. And no, porn is not protected by the first amendment, which was intented to protect political dissent and not smut.

Now bring on the libertines, better known as libertarians. Give me your best shot!

Legalize it all and tax it. Just as long as i don't have to pay for limp and ineffective enforcement of laws.

Hundreds of billions of dollars are made each year on the “sales” of horrible things, images that most of us want to keep away not only from our children, but from our communities."

I share your concern about porn but I disagree with your premise the most of us want a stop to it. This is simply not born out by the facts. In order for porn to be as successuful as it is, millions if not billions of people have to consume it. That is why it is so prevalent. I have no doubt the m/billions of people, even those who even publically decry porn, privately indulge in it.

Hiding from the facts won't supress them.

I concider this article to be pornographic. It should be heavily taxed.

Who gets to decide what porn is?

Let’s tax porn back into the dark alley where it belongs.

Excellent idea. But if the tax is too high they'll start selling it from indian reservations over the web...

Because the Libertarians would throw a hissy fit.

And no, porn is not protected by the first amendment, which was intented to protect political dissent and not smut.

The First Amendment was intented to protect the free discourse of any subject.
