Craig, >> externalities, which is to say that even if you choose not to look at porn, you will be affected by those who do. society has a right to protect the community at large from these externalities. it is done all the time in numerous instances. i can provide several examples if you're interested. >> i don't really understand how someone influenced by porn is going to adversely affect his neighbors. please explain or cite the examples you mentioned. >>if you are against the imposition of religion or morality, then you are essentially imposing irreligion or immorality.>> that is an illogical statement, but anyway... the definition for "impose" that i am using is "to obtrude or force oneself on another or others." maybe it isn't the perfect word, so let me clarify... i mean to say that i have a lazze-faire attitude toward these things. i mind my own business, leave me alone and i'll leave you alone. i will live my life the way i want and parent my kids my own way. i don't want to "impose," my morals on others. obviously all this has to work within a framework of law and there are lots of fine lines and nuances which i will avoid.
