AG may be ready to usher in new era of Orwellian paranoia...

 

..or, if Alberto Gonzales gets his way, you'll have to keep both hands on the keyboard from now on.
An article in today's Washington Post indicates the U.S. Attorney General has made the crackdown on pornography, "the kind that depicts, and is marketed to, consenting adults," one of his top priorities.
The FBI is actually recruiting people for the "anti-obscenity" squad, which I am guessing will go as well as recruiting people for the military has gone recently.
Quality phrase in the article is "I guess this means we've won the war on terror." (Thx dk).
Doesn't Anti-Obscenity Squad sound like something you'd see on SNL's "TV Funhouse" featuring celeb voices of Betty White, Tucker Carlson, Tipper Gore and Rick Santorum.
Anyway, here's what I consider to be a truth... if not for porn the World Wide Web as we know it would not exist. Instead , we'd have a very expensive reference system without a profitable business model to follow.

Cable providers such as Comcast and Time Warner offer adult movies on demand in our homes and many of the world's finest (and not so finest) hotels.

And many senators and politicans who are against pornography accept political contributions from Comcast and Time Warner. It's classic USA hypocrisy in action.

The attorney general should be focusing on more important issues - one that comes to mind is the obesity epidemic in America and child obesity. Or how about corporate entities that pollute the environment?

As far as the things that may harm me that I come in contact with in daily life, porn is pretty low on the list.
