I see that actually, despite the typical noisy porn addicts, regular DU'ers are seeing the issue more clearly. It is important that it be discussed and clarified as the libertarian position is not the liberal one and I do think this defense of all porn is more about the kind of person who spends a lot of time on the Internet rather than actually really representing the general population.

I care so much about this conversation, and am grateful for the intellectual heavy lifters in this group for continuing to point out the real ramifications of this "anything goes as long as it is porn" attitude.
