This last one is a mountainous mouldy meadow muffin. I, myself, absolutely detest pornography, it makes me sick. At the same time one of your kind (You "rational being," you) is going to decide WHAT IS BEST FOR SOMEONE ELSE. Handle your own life, asshole, and leave your pitiful asinine logic in its original container (your head). If you think for one minute that the "power" to decide what is best for those other than yourself is typical or desirable in a free society, then you are deserving of the punishment of having to learn to think for yourself, and not for others. If you can't think for yourself and yourself alone, you deserve to be in a less-than-free society, which is where you will wind up with your attitude. Get this one straight. The minute that you or anyone else decides what free choices can be made by others (ANY choices), this FREE society is then ultimately doomed. Can you say "Gradient Encroachment?" or "precedent?" I happen to enjoy living in a free society and I don't wish for you or anyone else to screw it up with such drivel (a.k.a. "rational thinking"). Another thing. What is this "we" bullshit? (as in, "WE" must ban porno- graphy). Is this what you mean by not having "GLOBAL" thinking processes? I am so glad to hear from someone who has such a thorough command of his idiom. Maybe you just feel that 50,000 frenchmen can't be wrong? I want to hear about YOUR thoughts, not the thoughts that you IMPOSE on "others" (as in "we"). Leave pornography, and all the other trash out there. If you don't like it, don't read it! (I noticed that you are familiar with its content) But, *MOST IMPORTANTLY*, don't try to tell me or anyone else how to run their personal lives! Wear someone else's moccasins before you criticize their choices. If someone is actually impairing your own physical existence, then kill the bastard(s) but don't try to think for them. You haven't got the mental or the moral equipment. (By the way, if you would learn to spell the word "differentiating" and then look it up, you might then be able to discern just exactly what it is that is being differentiated.) ...ihnp4!sys1!sysvis!george (George Robertson) P.S. Jerry Falwell is a "pre-James Jones" B.M. (Before the Massacre)! Anyone who follows that screwball (in the "free" press) deserves what they will ultimately wind up with. Funny Kool-Aid and all decisions made for them. I guess that some people are not willing or able to take the RESPONSIBILITY for making their OWN decisions and living with the results therefrom. This also means not accepting the pravda (truth) from the "free" press or anyone else without questioning its intent. Sigh. Those who do not (cannot?) learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Flame it if you dare.
