I don't know that pornography IS art, but I know that the perception of pornography is often subjective. That's why the Supreme Court based the test on community standards.

"Pornography certainly seems to be at epidemic proportions thorough all levels of society."

That's not my perception, because I am not often exposed to it. I'd have to go looking for it, which I generally don't. Then again, we may have different definitions of pornography.

We certainly could have different opinions of what constitutes Pornography and that shouldn't put us on different sides of the equation.

One of my sons (a hardened liberal) teaches music at one of the Ivy League schools up in New England.

He and I have had some very heated discussions about this very subject of what constitutes pornography.

He accuses me of being an "Out of Touch Neanderthal".

He may be right on all counts.

Thanks for the back and forth on this subject and you have a great day.
