Just got done watching the PBS magazine-show "Frontline" on "American Porn". Difficult show to watch actually, because I'm not sure what to take from it. It seemed to want to say on the one hand that it's all mainstream and then on the other hand show the furthest outreaches of the porn industry and ask if that's where we are in society. I'm bothered by that analogy, because I don't think it's that simplistic. But I'm more fearful of all the legal prosecutions they were predicting from Ashcroft-- ones that were coming in the fall of 2001 but got postponed by Sept. 11. A crackdown on the porn industry is apparently imminent, with Ashcroft with the whip. A scarier thought for our American freedoms is hard to imagine-- regardless of the porn aspect of it.
