Brad, the people in power now are reactionary neo-conservatives. I don't want THEM stacking the courts and going after webmasters to harrass us based on what they feel is 'obscene.' I can't support your position.

I can see how you're understanding me that way. I'm just not explaining myself properly. All I am trying to say say is that I would like to someday see an agreed upon set of laws. I don't know how we could ever get from here to there. Accomplishing that could be done by simply modifying existing legislation or proposing new ones. I'm not saying at all that I would support an obscenity prosecution, I am overall saying that they seem to make themselves an easy target if the government is looking for easy targets.
Unfortunately, it is my own personal belief that the government would surely fuck that up and end up with something that is likely far from what I would agree with. It's not wrong of me to say that I just wish the government would make up their mind. I find the whole subject frustrating because what I'd really like to see is a standard that says anything between two consenting adults is OK. That is what I would like our rights to be but that currently is NOT the case, to my dismay.
