What, TALA is going to bitch about something? Miss Good Morning GFY ray of fucking sunshine??
Oh yes. And this is along the same lines of the 3k post by 2HousePlague, so if you read his, you can bloody well read mine. (Boy, I need a fuckin dose of either hot, no-holds-barred sex or a goddamn hit of lithium.)
This whole 2257 bullshit is something that we've all seen coming. Somewhere along the line, most of us went, "It'll never happen, and if it doesn, it won't hurt me."
Oopsie.
It affects us all. No matter who you are, what you do, it's affecting us. And what it all boils down to is this: We shoulda self-regulated so that the US fucktards of congress, (remember, "con" is the opposite of "pro"), didn't have to do it for us.
Now before you get your panties in a twist, there are some folks who WERE correctly self-regulating. But since there were enough who weren't, we're here. That and the fact that right now the "moral majority" speaketh. We're a country being run by fundies, ultra-conservatives, and whoohoo, how about those fem-nazis who think that a woman who cooks dinner is being opressed.
But some of us, like j-baby, see the beauty and artistic value in some of what we do. (No posting gratuitious pics of shit you woldn't touch with a ten foot pole, please. I said, SOME)
I love this industry. We're human beings, and honestly, sexuality comes naturally to us all. That's how we procreate. It's also a helluva stress reliever, and yes, it DOES cure some headaches. (Sorry to give away the secret girls) It's beautiful, it's natural and dammit, it's fun.
In the worlds of George Carlin: "Selling is legal, fucking is legal, why isn't selling fucking legal? There are worse things I can think of than giving someone an orgasm."
I don't understand why the fundies and over half the US population seem to think sex is bad, wrong or evil. Jesus Christ.
Maybe they just need to get laid.
It's time to get angry, people. It's high time that we as an industry got together and took a big dump on Congress and our lack of freedoms. I'm not sure how we could do this, but hey, it's for the children, right? The children being protected (*cough*) are going to grow up and wonder WTF?? Teach your children well.
And now I'm off to go find better drugs.
