It still would be nice to have a reliable press where you could print
what you wanted w/o having to deal with the intolerant. (One of my
key peeves is people who think they need to impose their "moral" views
on others. Hey, if you're a consenting adult, and nobody gets hurt
(unwillingly), then who cares? If someone gets off on the furry
stuff, or even pictures of the goatse guy <personal shudder>, how do
*you* suffer?)
Ooops, pulling out the soapbox again. I'll stop. I've got the radio
tuned to Air America, and I'm getting pissed off at the stupidity of
my fellow Americans once again.

Why should someone not have to pay for porn? You pay for a book. or a
movie, software, or music, right? Well, some of us still do anyway.
My wife and I are both writers, I have friends in the movie industry,
I've worked for software (and hardware) companies, and studio
engineering is a hobby of mine. (Much like being a radio DJ, I love
it, but I make a cosmic buttload more as an IT geek.) As such, I'm
sensitive to the issue of getting compensation for work done.
Thankfully, my day job presents no problems. They no pay, I no fix.
Company no work.
