I see. So the federal laws against pornography at the time of the Founding were... ?

In Jesus's time, sexual imagry was a) unheard of; b) a common household decoration that survives to this day in, at least, mosiacs in Roman homes.

And would your "common sense" and "powers of observation" have more to do with pulpit-pounding preachers pushing their own view of hell fire, or with the actual history of sexual expression in society?

[little jeremiah]

Endemic pornography of the most extreme types including bestiality, group efforts and homosexuality as well as bondage and so on is not a good influence. Previously in history stuff that gross was a) not widely disseminated through mass media and b)the kind of wall decorations you're thinking of are not is the same realm. At all.

You like a world where there are absolutely no limits to sexual expression no matter how disgusting, violent, depraved or perverted the content. That's your position (apprently). Fine. My position is different. We disagree. But you can't force me into a false position, or try to equate your position as one that has any historical validity or precedent.
