Hm, how can I get a pun about Bush into this post?
So the Bush administration opposes the creation of a .xxx domain.
Right wing think tanks claim that this will not reduce the amount of porn available online. Duh. NOTHING WILL. Never underestimate the human desire to distribute naked pictures of other humans! What is always the first industry to adopt and adapt new technologies? Porn! That's how it's been since the dawn of time, so get over it. At least with a .xxx domain libraries, public terminals and private users could block SOME of the content they don't want. Sure, they can't block all of it, but it's also damn near impossible to block all junk mail from coming to my house. Know what I do? I DON'T LOOK AT IT.
Can't we at least agree that this is a step in the right direction? Or is having a specific suffix for pornographers so much worse than having pornographers squatting on sites like whitehouse.com?

I am one Republican who thinks that this is a great idea and should have been done alot sooner. I think it will help parents alot more, and it gives them there own little section, and i wouldn't mind seeing more of this; like when hollywood does a movie website instead of the website being "willywonkathemovie.com" it would be willywonka.mv just something like that. I know there already is a .tv and none of the tv stations use them so I might just be talking out of my butt. But i do think that it is weird that you know and keep up with everything "PORN"
