Porn ain't going anywhere, notwithstanding what you cite as its historic connections to organized crime, or its ability to destroy careers and lives. But as you said, Jim, those human interest stories exist in all facets of the bizz, and indeed life.<BR/><BR/>Your argument (unless I missed something) is a bit counter-intuitive.

Couple the commission's obliviousness to world outside with our current minority government's W.O.C. (War on Culture) and the future looks decidedly dim.<BR/><BR/>I didn't go to the big opening at FilmPort last week, but I've been driving by the place every day on my way to and from work.
