(2,976 posts)For those who missed it, the Court said (short version) adults having access to porn is not a crime. Well, some people didn't like that decision. The current POTUS was LBJ, who appointed a commission to study and recommend to the Congress what effect this is going to have.
The 1970 Commission on Obscenity and Pornography came back with their study that said (short version) porn was not a problem in Denmark, by implication it may not be a problem here either.
That was rejected by the Congress and we all know the Congress is always right.
The Meese Commission appointed in 1986 by St Ray-gun (blessed be his name) came to the exact opposite conclusion. To whit: porn is evil. Porn causes rape. Porn destroys the moral character of anyone and everyone who comes in contact with it.
The head of that Commission was none other than "hang'em high Henry" Hudson a big R republican, who later as a Bush appointed judge declared the ACA unconstitutional.
Another exemplary figure on that Commission was the Reverend Focus on the Family James Dobson.
So there you have it. (the short version)
If you detect a hint of sarcasm, then my job here is done.
