One of the things that Bush campaigned on was his stand against porn. During his Presidency he has seen more people watch more unregulated porn than ever before. Today any 12 year old can access porn, can upload and download it and the restriction on it's distribution have never been looser.

The DOJs campaign on 2257 was a joke, protecting children from porn was a joke, stopping underage people performing in porn movies is also a joke. Because today all you need is a connection to the Internet, a camera and some basic skills. Another good one for GWB.

This is besides the money we have lost as an industry.

And yes for the record I have always thought porn and the Internet needs regulating. Because unregulated it's costing me money. And no I don't have the answers on how to do it.
