Sounds fine to me so long as you mean that people would never have to go
LOGICALLY near these places, rather than PHYSICALLY, if you know what I
mean.  Staying five miles from an army camp that sends out crazed killers,
you might feel physically distanced from the military training, but you
might still end up dead.  If violent pornography is distributed five miles
away, you might not see it, but you still might end up raped & cut up in
some alley.  Happens.  What you have to do is transport the people who like
pornography to a different PLANET, more than 100 light years away, to
totally prevent the possibility of anything they do influencing the people
who are scared of or don't like pornography, like me.

(I hope no one minds me responding two weeks late to this, if there is
duplication, but I think that what I have to say is fairly interesting.)
