Damn straight. At least somebody's seeing things clearly.

Just because it's legal, doesn't mean it's right. The cult of ego-worship and online porn is just getting out of control. These days anyone with a camera, cock or vag and other bits and pieces, and a little extra time fancies theirselves porn stars. Sad thing is, were so flooded with this, we think this is all that sex is about. Kids get to this shit, see it, then begin to think the same thing, get older then begin doing the same thing, but to a little higher degree. Then the next generation comes, see it, and begin to think that is what sex is all about, grow up and rinse, wash, and repeat.

This is kind of what's is like -

Start with a cage containing five monkeys.
Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the monkeys with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result - all the monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, turn off the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his surprise and horror, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted. Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one.
The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm.

Again, replace a third original monkey with a new one. The new one makes it to the stairs and is attacked as well. Two of the four monkeys that beat him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs, or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey. After replacing the fourth and fifth original monkeys, all the monkeys that have been sprayed with cold water have been replaced. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs. Why not?

Because as far as they know that's the way it's always been around here.

And that is perphaps the best example of what is known as 'participation mystique', an unconscious identification with objects, methods, pop-culture, and status quo.

One of the great things I like about freedom of speech is that it allows the idiots a larger audience to be heard, making them easier to spot. It's better to be thought a fool, then to open one's mouth and remove all doubt. Freedom of speech, like anything else, has a dark side and casts a shadow. Suppliers of porn should be regulated in that access by minors and to minors are illegal. This burden should be shared by those same suppliers more than the parents. Just like the suppliers of alcohol, tobacco, guns, and nuclear material. Parents are rarely educated about the easy availability and changing methods of access, the suppliers ARE.
