Can they imagine cultural contexts in which that wouldn't be true? >Does pornography have as direct an effect on its victims as murder? - MHN] Who are the "victims" of pornography? How are they (whoever they are) victims? "Victims of pornagraphy" sounds to me like "victims of mathematics". [The anti-pornography activists are better qualified to answer that than I am - I was echoing the article comparing pornography to murder and trying to get them to clarify their position. - MHN] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Read My Lips: No Nude Texans!" - George Bush clearing up a misunderstanding
