before I left New Jersey last year to come out here to Spudland,
I used to buy my postcards at a retro/funk art store in New
Brunswick...lots of them were photographs that featured full frontal
nudity and explicit genitilia in poses far more suggestive than
any Maplethorpe shot I have seen...I never gave a thought to not
mailing them to friends....but here in a town that is 2/3 Mormon
and very repressed and where church-oriented standards prevail,
I might pause...postal regs are written down, but they are highly
variable from place to place, and although the USPS would deny this
they are dependent on the personal mores and values of the locals...
so if I drove four hours to where ListGuy Dan lives the de facto
limits to what would have safe passage via a nineteen cent stamp
would be much different than what they are here...it's not supposed
to work this way, but it does, as do a lot of religious laws which
have worked their way into our legal system...
