That's right bigJB - old uncle Ronnie was a huge pain in our asses back then.
It starts at the top and rolled right down to local legislation.
When our Ohio Senator Voinovich first ran for the Senate, he was mayor of Cleveland and had his vice cops bust me 3 times - I was charged and tried once, and convicted! It was overturned on appeal... I had an unfair trail and my attorney had a huge opponent in the courtroom in the form of the judge!
The second time was under George Sr.'s administration and it was in the city of Indy. 9 of us narrowly escaped convictions in that case, it included 2 counts of RICO for christsake and would have put us in prison for about 28 years each.
The feds set the tone, and the states and local legislature, right down to the town council all follow suit and want to run every adult video store, strip club or massage parlor right out of town on a flaming hot rail to hell.
I'm no friend of the right wing... but I'm no stranger to them either!
If people really knew their history in this industry, or if they knew what it costs to defend yourself in one of these cases, they would run away from it as fast as they could and build happy little websites... for children... or seniors or something.
Everyone dogs Clinton, but I'll tell you this - the number of federal prosecutions for obscenity under that admin was: ZERO.
