The founders probably couldn't have imagined how disgusting our culture has become, or how bankrupt some peoples' souls have become, of course that's obvious. But it doesn't mean the goverment should take the role of forcing people to behave in moral ways or else. With that I certainly think they would agree.

Not at all. Most founders supported state laws outlawing sodomy, forbidding Sunday labor, prostitution, and the like. Federals such as those forbidding the transport of women accross state lines for "immoral purposes" have been around since nearly the begining. The US never was and never will be a libertarian society.

If you disagree with censorship, you embrace pornography. Didn't you read the comment of the mope who brought his anti-libertarian agenda to the front with this article? It's the first post.
