58. And again, I must point out
That you can get all of the porn you want mailed to you. And yeah, even though it is wrapped in plain brown paper, or black plastic, or whatever, the US Postal Service knows that it is porn, and gee, ships it anyways, even to Utah. And again, you can go to any street corner in Salt Lake City, and pick up all the porn you desire at the local 7-11.

Yes, there are laws in place to protect minors, both as consumenrs of porn and to prevent child pornography. There may be laws in differing states in regards to the particulars of how you may display, sell, or tax porn. But per se' porn is legal in all fifty states, and yes, it is protected by the First Amendment. You can set up all of the straw men you want, but that doesn't change that single basic fact. And here you are advocating censorship of it. And you still refuse to realize that if you censor that which you don't like, you are opening everything up for censorship. It is that plain, and that simple. If you wish to continue this misguided advocacy of censorship, fine, but I doubt that you will find many backers, both here and in the real world.
