HOORAH SHELLEY and PINKCROSS.ORG. Hey, she may be religious but she knows what she's talking about when it comes to the Porn Biz. If God helped her through to become who she is now, helping those who want out of this cutthroat thing they call a business, then power be to GOD!!


PinkCross.org is a "gay press organization," FYI. The "the" in front is rather necessary, unless God also approves of homosexuals.

Anyway, even if what Lubben and her associates say about the problems with porn is 100% truth, she still believes that "God" wants to end pornography for good. Supporting her means working toward the elimination of porn completely. Aside from the fact that it's an impossible goal, taking such an extreme position and making progress with it is liable to generate extreme opposition. People may not fight for their civil liberties, and they might happily trade hard-won freedoms for temporary security, but just try to take their porn away. I doubt that the results will be pretty.

I'm still looking for a moderate to follow who has goals similar to my own and a convincing chance of changing things. A college professor of mine once told me that moderates never win, but I've had my fill of extremism (although I still give in to it from time to time). Porn may be harmful, and it may be growing out of control, but I'm not going to support anyone who aims to use irrational justifications to eliminate something that I enjoy. If there are problems with porn production and porn consumption, then work on using rational justifications to fix the problems. That's a reasonable goal that I will support.
