Peaches, I know very well that this is a state of California thing, but I am sure and certain that the current "anti-porn" tide helps them decide to take the issue on a little more clearly. The source of the anti-porn wind is the Bush team, very specifically Minister Ashcroft (He is a lay minister, did you know that? That is right, no seperation of church and state there!).

OK, for YEARS I've been reading about how adult video companies have said the government will crack down on condom use if the companies don't self police themselves. This was said LONG before Bush was in office.
And since when is wanting condom use, i.e. safe working environments, "anti-porn"? California is by far one of the most liberal state governments in the country (if not THE most liberal) and you're finding fault with them? Interesting.
Now to your "Separation of church and state" comment. Here's the amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Please explain how Ashcroft's being a lay minister (which I believe Lance and Ynot Bob are also) has had any effect on that amendment being ignored? Not what you THINK he MIGHT do, but what he's actually done in the last 4 years.
