Seems like a fiscally sound move to me. You said it obscene: ob scene (ab sen , b-) adj. [[Fr obscene < L obscenus, obscaenus < obs-, var. of ob- (see OB-) + caenum, filth < IE *kweino- < base *kwei-, muck, filth > ON hvein, swampy land]] 1 offensive to one's feelings, or to prevailing notions, of modesty or decency; lewd 2 disgusting; repulsive 3 Law designating or of books, films, etc. which when judged by contemporary community standards, are found to appeal to a prurient interest in sex, be patently offensive, and have no serious artistic, scientific, or social value SYN. COARSE ob scene ly adv. --------------------------------------------------------- Excerpted from Compton's Reference Collection 1996 Copyright (c) 1995 Compton's NewMedia, Inc. There's also no denying the negative impact pornography has had on our children and social relationships. It's time we stop abusing one another in the name of "free speach" and do what's right, even if your left. Surely others can (and will) see the truth in this argument before it's too late. Truth is Peace, ><> Michael
