Re: Another bailout


Well, the latest bailout request is the most outrageous as well. In fact, it’s beyond the pale. Larry Flint (Legendary publisher of Hustler, and international guardian of bad taste) and other representatives of the “Adult Film and publishing industry”, are asking for $5 billion to shore up their plummeting sales. In other words, the Porn industry wants free money too.
Anyone else have a problem with that besides me?
Here’s the way I see it. All of the actors in the “business” get paid, essentially, to have sex. By definition, that makes them all prostitutes and gigolo’s, both of which are illegal, at least in this country. The rest of them—the producers, directors, etc., facilitate the end product, which makes them pimps—also illegal.
To be fair, it is a big business. I read once that the porn industry brings in more money annually than professional baseball, football, and basketball combined. Makes you stop and think, don’t it?
But is it a legitimate business? If the mafia (which controls a large percentage of prostitution in this country) asked for a bailout, should we give it to them? I say No! (Sorry, the ghost of Teddy Roosevelt overcame me for a moment there.) There is nothing legitimate about the porn industry, not morally, not ethically and not economically.
If we see the government taking this request seriously, we can be sure the end of our way of life is not far behind, and deservedly so.
Notice I am not calling for the destruction of the porn industry by “whatever means necessary”, or any kind of official censorship. That’s not governments job. Although I have spent years censoring Porn privately, in our home. I disallow it, preach against it, and have taught my kids about the dangers, pitfalls, and harm it can produce. But to do anything to help such a depraved and prurient endeavor would make us, as a country, morally bankrupt. So watch the news.
