Hey, you know what Japanese guys do when they have erections? They vote.
It sounds like some Americans think erections and voting go together too. What is it about porn that makes otherwise sane people write fatuous things?
Glenn Reynolds linked to this, which inspired one person to comment that that was enough to get them to vote against Bush. Hmm - maybe too much masturbation does cause insanity.
Diversion of resources? Gimme a break. Wait until these guys hear that we have entire departments that aren't totally focused on terrorism. Heaven forbid we'd be spending trillions a year on govt that couldn't multi-task. Go ahead and suggest that this initiative isn't worth a few million bucks and a staff of 30-odd people, but don't tell me it's a diversion from the fight on terrorism unless you're prepared to shut down most of the rest of the govt too on the same grounds.
Using our computer forensics experts? Yeah, right. I'll bet that they cherry-picked all the anti-terror staff to find the guys best at determining what was porn and what was not. Yeah, that takes lots and lots of highly specialized training, eh?
I figure it's just more senseless Ashcroft-bashing. He's highly suspect of course - the article marvels that he is "a religious man who does not drink alcohol or caffeine, smoke, gamble or dance". Who'd trust a guy like that?
Look, if you don't want him enforcing the law, then you should be working to get rid of the law instead of fussing at him for doing his job.
I suspect that this is another case like abortion, where the pro-abortionists claim to have the public behind them but never want to prove it democratically. Let the Democrats push to get rid of our obscenity laws, so we can see who correctly calculates "the pulse of the community".
Justin Katz and his commenters have a lot more to say.
