Dank,
A reply to your reply LOL
We are not necessarily a "puritan" society as of late. I just think we've held on to this kind of thinking from 200 years ago, that brings people like Ashcroft on the scene and keeps people from repealing laws that are clearly outdated, etc.
We have come a long way...but, we would have come further without that particular way of thinking being prevalent, yes, even today.
And none of those things you mentioned above, don't get opposed by one "puritan" group or another. Just glad, that they didn't win...this time.
