this logic is a little crazy to me... whats the solution you guys? wait until the next president, hope he is a democrat cause they can do no wrong and porn will never be a problem again?

with or without Bush, this has always been a real problem and real risk. Bush did not define obscenity or come up with the notion of community standards. whether anyone likes it or not, religion is a powerful political force in the US ... do you really believe that any other administration is not going to do what they can to appease them? they need the votes, they support abortion and a lot of conservative issues, the religious groups support - they are definately going to throw them something and excuse me for being rational but porn is the ONLY logical choice. no one is going to support pornography. no one is going to see it as a constitutional issue. its a losing battle from the start... it always will be and the only ones that seem to realize this are the people going after pornographers.

Will the next president (Republican, Democrat, Whig, Martian) go after porn? Hell yeah. Will it go away with the leaving of the Bush? Of course not.

That said, yes, that porn -- when not terrorism or mock-terrorism -- is this Admin's major "wag the dog" choice is also true.

Is there a solution? Not that I'm aware of.

Addenum -- Was this particular guy just asking to be busted? Yes. Was the Red Rose child pedo story site? Yes. But the timing of this week is too damned convenient.

I do not think its a big story. It is not getting much national attention. Xanx, is a moron who kept forceing the issue. He was seeking publicity, it found him, and the gov't is reacting.

It should not surprise anyone. Drav I thought you were going to compare him to Rosa Parks!
