There's no denying the right of organizations to assure the productive 
use of thier resources.  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.

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,
