Thanks Ken, I understand what you are saying. But, damn! What supervision? Most parents, if the child is lucky enough to have a Mother and a Father are busting their ass just trying to make ends meet and keep a roof over their head much less give the attention and supervision a child needs! Most mother's or many, at any rate, thanks to being liberated and all have to work and assume the role of Mother and Father and their just isn't enough time in the day to do that. Pornography wasn't an issue 40 years ago, when it only consisted of a few "men's" magazines tucked away under counters at news stands. Hell, when I was a kid, the only "boobs" we were exposed to was in "National Geographic" magazine.
I get caution all the time because I am of the "old school" when there was no such thing as metal detectors and drug tests and kids carrying guns to school that has lead to such incidents as Columbine. I could tie so many loose ends together here, but it would just piss a lot of people off simply because they don't know any better in this god forsaken politically correct society we have created where anything goes. So, I guess I have better end it here before I get another "red badge of courage" for getting a little ticked off at another members, IMO, lame, politically correct rationalization for abortion. If the "new school" sees nothing wrong with pornography as one member call those who see the tragedy of it, a puritan, then I thank god I am of the "old school". There was "a sense of morality" then, which has gone with the "politically correct" wind. God help us!
