And when I say in need of defending, I mean the written word. Not the content. Obviously there were very few takers on the content, which is a GREAT thing.
But the line isn't drawn in the sand on free speech and thoughts expressed on paper. It's a concrete line that has to be kept in place.

Kimmy, because of the way the US constitution is written (and interpreted) the adult industry finds itself standing in support of some very weird things to protect that concrete line. It is a concept of bizarre absolutes that makes me shake my head. It creates a horrible situation of having to support shit that most humans would find deeply offensive, revolting, and unacceptable to retain certain rights and freedoms. For me, that is a no win situation. To say I support stories of raping babies to protect free speech makes me ill. Something is wrong with a system that can't even draw that proper concrete line.
Until you can seperate the content from the implied freedom, we will always end up standing next to some of the most disgusting and revolting people and thoughts. That just isn't a very palatable situation.
