The real question is always, who gets to define pornography or violence or ... whatever. And the answer is always, "We do." Only the odds are pretty good that you and I are not going to be part of that all-wise and all-powerful "we" with control.Or worse, you and I will be part of that "we" until one day they come knocking on my door or your door and it turns out you and I have been voted out of "we" and now it's our turn to pay the piper you and I helped invite to the party, thinking the charges were all about other people. We are the other people.
Or in one of my more Zen moments, there is no they. There is only us. Once we figure that out, things will be a lot easier.
