"Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Grainne. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. average joe, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with." 'Atlas Shrugged' 1957

Carolyn posted a particular site under that link that was extremely gross and pornographic, much more so than the general google search data I posted. Since her post was directed at me, I think I should be able to decide whether to discuss it further. Please note that I only did so because Average Joe claimed Carolyn was the only lady who had ever posted here. I disagree with that, and since I banned her, I believe I do have a right to defend myself.

After reflecting on it (I'm trying to do three things at once today) I think Carolyn posted the google search results, not a specific site under them. I clicked on one of the results and was totally grossed out. I probably should have added some warning about not clicking on any of the results. It is not my intention to offend anyone.
