The stupidity of those statements used to astound me. We were zoned to where we could only operate in the worst parts of town, including the highest grossing store I ran that was located next door to one of the most violent housing projects in Ohio. It was poverty that caused the crime, not porn. As for the sex crime comments I can't imagine the amount of sex crimes that would occur on a daily basis if adults didn't have porn as a healthy, normal way to relieve sexual tension.

On a separate note I had a chance to hang out with you a bit at the Internext in New Orleans back in 2000 at a private party someone (can't really remember who) had at a second story apartment on Bourbon St. You were a class act all the way and a lot of fun to hang with. I have some really funny video of you and a midget that I would be happy to send you if you're interested.
