Mama Bear and Neocon: If I can wade in on the discussion between you re: pornography and its effects on social behavior. Do you remember Nixon's 'Commission on Pornography' when he attempted to show the correlation between pornography and violence against women, children, etc.? I remember things not going to Nixon's liking and him replacing several members of the commission. What he didn't like was the research showing no correlation between the availability of pornography and violence. Instead the research pointed to the availability of 'violence' as being a major catalyst to 'violence' while the availability of pornography as having the same effect to consentual sex. Once Nixon had the people on the commission he wanted they came up with a kangaroo-court-like decision condemning pornography which was subsequently discredited and ignored. I remember the whole thing being swept under the rug and nothing coming of it in supporting Nixon's agenda to pass laws regulating pornography. Again, it's what would seem to make sense not making sense after all once one looks at the published scientific data. halfscot
