Federal Anti-Obscenity Program Comes Up Limp

kotj.mf writes "The New York Times reports that the Federally funded anti-Web pornography campaign run by Morality in Media, a conservative religious group, has yet to result a single prosecution for obscenity, despite having generated more than 67,000 citizen complaints. The group, better known for its campaign to have Cosmopolitan removed from supermarket checkout stands, is pushing the Justice Department to more aggressively pursue cases against what it sees as 'a prime threat to society, the growth on the Internet of sexual material involving consenting adults.'"

Except the first time he wasn't actually elected, and the second time he was "elected" via electronic voting machines. I don't think there's adequate evidence to call the majority of Americans idiots.

When you add the 35-40% of those eligible to vote who simply failed to show up (http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/voti ng.html), to the 30-35% who actually voted for Bush, I think we've established majority stupidity.

And you think that showing up would have made a difference? Funny stuff. The only way to stop the evil known as capitalist "democracy" is to reduce voter turnout to a number so low that this sham of a democracy is exposed for what it really is.

The best vote is no vote. I feel pity for those who have bought into the propaganda that says your vote actually means something. It is a strange feeling, a mix of hilarity and tragedy.

Want to invalidate the system and force conditions that will result in a much needed revolution? Don't vote. If nobody votes then the existing power elite can no longer hide behind their puppet government.

Think about it. You know I'm right.
