Pornography Awareness Week Set for Oct.
By Terry Phillips, correspondent
It's the dirty little secret some families overlook or consciously ignore.Someone in the household is hooked — not on drugs, or alcohol — but on porn.
Pornography is the scourge of the Information Age. The Internet makes hardcore sleaze as available as weather forecasts. A click can take you, your spouse or your kids into smut not even imagined 10 years ago.
Now there is a way to fight back — Pornography Awareness Week, which is scheduled for the last week of October.
More than 150 organizations and individuals put their names on a petition asking President Bush to use his bully pulpit and declare a "fight against filth" by proclaiming Oct. 26 to Nov. 1 as National Pornography Awareness Week.
"If he does that, the primary focus of the week . . . will deal with the adult obscenity problem," said Robert Peters, president of Morality in Media, the group taking the lead by organizing National Awareness of Pornography Week. The week is part of Morality in Media's White Ribbon Against Pornography Campaign, or WRAP.
