America, land of the free. Well, not so much.

I cut most of the article cuz its quite long, but I think the first paragraphs give you an idea of what it says.
There is a link to the full text. I did leave the contact information for the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom incase you feel compelled to do something.

So the current administration, on their crusade against the evil of sex, is cracking down on pornography. Well, hey, the sounds and styles of the 80's are coming back as a retro trend, why not the war against naked pictures too? (its even more shocking to realize that this is the perogrative of the guy who REPLACED Ashcroft. Who knew it could get worse!)

This time, however, its all about those little deviant folks who spank and pee on each other. They deserve extra punishment.

Even if I accepted local community standards as a legitimate judge of obscenity -- how the HELL do they expect to set a "local community standard" on the web??? What's ok to the people of say, San Francisco and New York is not always ok with the folks in Topeka, Kansas. So, if Jo Bob logs on to a website housed in Cali and doesn't like the look of a chick tied up and being spanked, the San Francisco people should be prosecuted based on Kansas standards?

The real joke is, it won't make a bit of difference, really, because they cannot prosecute Canadians or Germans or the Japanese for hosting sites of this same type. It will still be out there, people will still look at it. They will have to start invading the lives of viewers, not providers and well, then I do hope they are prepared to prosecute their brothers, wives, cousins, uncles and children....

Of kids, age, submission, theology, and whatnot: "Friday, October 21, 2005
Why dont they just stand in the corner with a cross and a sword?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - National Coalition for Sexual Freedom

October 20, 2005 - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has announced that his office will specifically target 'bestiality, urination, defecation, as well as sadistic and masochistic behavior' in pursuing new obscenity prosecutions. The Department of Justice began recruiting in late July for a new anti-obscenity squad to pursue obscenity prosecutions, and the FBI announced in September that it was forming an anti-obscenity task force to crack down on pornography.

Any website that has content containing 'bestiality, urination, defecation, as well as sadistic and masochistic behavior' should be forewarned that prosecution is possible. Additionally, Federal sentencing guidelines state that any obscenity-related punishment should be 'enhanced for sadomasochistic material.'
