“We have to be able to discuss a ban on violent pornography, which we all agree has a very harmful effects on young people and can have a clear link to incidences of violent crime,” a Green Party member said.
Newsweek magazine, a rather pedestrian organ of American liberal sensibility, has been compelled to admit the obvious: Americans are addicted to sex in large numbers.
Running into the obscene frisking stories circulating the media had me wondering about the slowness of the American people to react with total outrage to the intrusive searching at airports. Is it perhaps that our pornified culture is so used to sexual acts being foisted on us that a routing grope is just another thing to be accepted? Watching people engage in sexual encounters has become routine on television shows, movies, music videos, commercials, billboards and mobile phones. Surely watching someone get politely molested at an airport can’t arouse the same outrage as it once would have.
