Some mailing lists I am glad to be on . . .
One of them is the Family Research Council. I like to know what the weirdos are thinking.
Here is an email I got today:

We Can Stop the XXX Porn Industry Dead In Its Tracks NOW
August 18, 2005 | Refer a Friend
The Bush Administration is listening to you! It put a temporary halt on plans to establish the .XXX domain, the special haven on the Internet for the porn industry. FRC has been battling this deceptive .XXX domain for the past two months, since it was announced by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the governing agency for the internet. We've met with key people at the Commerce Department, which has jurisdiction over ICANN, and we asked you to send letters and emails to President Bush and ICANN, telling them to stop the .XXX domain. And thanks to your letters and emails, the Bush Administration announced this week that "due to unprecedented opposition" (that means from YOU), it asked ICANN to halt the process for one month and reconsider. We now have until September 15 to pressure ICANN to kill the .xxx Domain.
The .XXX domain was never intended to force the porn industry to leave the .COM domain, which has been extremely profitable for pornographers. Instead it would allow pornographers to continue to sell hardcore, illegal porn on the .COM domain and expand to the .XXX domain. That means perhaps twice as many Internet porn sites and twice the danger to children. In other words, it would not make the web safer for children; it would make it more dangerous.
But now the porn industry will be fighting back. They know that they stand to loose millions in profits if the .XXX domain is killed in the September 15 vote by ICANN. We must act fast and in force!
You can help stop the porn industry from expanding by sending another message to ICANN now saying, "Stop the .XXX domain." I also need you to forward this to your friends and family today. Let's stop the porn industry. Remember, the vote is September 15, so we must act fast!

I like their attitude, but the P.S. is even better:

P.S. The porn industry will fight back with its millions of dollars, so forward this today to all your friends and family. Also, send it to your pastor and church groups.
