I really enjoy statements like this. Taboos. Makes all of us sound like the natives in any Tarzan flick you ever saw. "No Bwana, No go! Taboo!" 'Break down' implies force of some kind. If you don't think porn will be mandatory, please say something like 'erode'. Also, just what is wrong with eroding taboos? I'd prefer making an informed decision about something, rather that relying on a taboo to think for me! > Can you guarrantee that with the subtley with which porn propagates > that they will not eventually win the rights to exploit children whom > they claim are consenting and have the blessing of the parents?
