XXX

After reviewing the article written by Rick Santorum about free speech and internet porn I immediately took a stance. I definitely don't feel that Santorums argument is justified in claiming that our first amendment is being sullied by the vast collection of internet porn the worldwide web has to offer. I feel that freedom of speech should not be denied to anyone, regardless of how they choose to express themselves. Although e-porn has no place on the screens of young children, it discounts the fact that a lot of adults still enjoy these films and sites. By banning them you are stripping these individuals of their basic human rights.


In this instance as an artist myself I find the human form beautiful. I personally don't consider double penetration and gang bangs artistic, whose to say the person responsible for the production doesn't. Our bodies are capable of amazing feats, as human beings we shouldn't be censored on how we choose to display our abilities. As we begin on a road of a more conservative America, we are ripping rights away willy nilly. If all all the things we didn't like or disapproved of were outlawed we wouldn't be enjoying a free country, we would be left with nearly nothing as far as individual expression is concerned. Although pleasing the masses isn't ideal in this situation safer internet searching could be practiced. Maybe if young children are utilizing thir home computer there should be some spyware or parental controls set up. This would be the only preventative measure i see fit. Other than that adults should be free to view as they please.

Heck, with current media trends today, the NSFW line was blurred a long time ago anyways.
