I'm being honest here. What's the thing with

105. Sorry, not so. No porn of any kind kills kids...very bad analogy. Red Herring for today.

Killing is dehumanizing...forever. Drones are dehumanizing. Bombs are dehumanizing. Killing foreign chidren is dehumanizing. Dirty pictures? Not so much.

Americans are squeamish and so over-protective about "real violence"...but have no problem paying for its continuance or lacking the responsibility for it as long as they don't have to look at it. Traffic classes for offenders used to show graphic and grisly deaths. Smoking classes used to show the graphic gore of ruined lungs, disfigured bodies from cancer. High school Driver's Ed used to take the kids to the morgue.

What does Gabby Giffords and her staff and the Sandy Hook community have in common other than death or injury by gun, funerals, inconsolable grief, immense losses in family, jobs, lives forever changed and $175 billion dollar tab? Taxpayers picked up the tab and the industry responsible for cause of the deaths gets an uh-oh pass and has become wealthier due to the fear that their industry caused in the first place. (Privatized profits ... socialized losses.) Eisenhower didn't feel the need to warn us about the porn industry.

And one other commonality...they were forced to look at the carnage, unabridged. How many others will be forced to look at it, up front and personal, before we reach a Tipping Point and place the responsibility and the cost firmly where it belongs.

And please save the "over-emotional" hyperbole. Guns are manufactured to kill...legally, illegally, accidentally, intentionally. Porn, not so much.

PS ... kid's deaths are not a "political anecdote"
