Ashcroft vs. Pornography

I have just watched a special on Ashcroft’s newest crusade: to shut down hard core pornography. The California based video production company Extreme Associates are their first targets. They have been indicted and face sentences 50 years or more. The subject of whether pornography is good or bad for society is a discussion all in itself.

I’m not saying I agree nor disagree with Erotica, but does anyone see this as the beginning of the First Amendments deterioration? As I watched a representative of Ashcroft’s staff speak; it was though as she was dictating what is appropriate for American to be watching. I felt like punching the screen.

I’m of the mindset (not referring to snuff films, child pornography, or anything similar) if you don’t like; don’t watch it. A prosecuting attorney the came on stating this is what the country wants and he says this is only the beginning.

This leads to another subject regarding conservatives and liberals, but I’ll make that another thread. I like polls because it’s a quick visual reference that seems to be an almost good micro presentation of the macro presentation. Even if you don’t make a statement please vote if you didn’t. Thanks
