Wait a minute, it IS the point!
Hmmm, sleeze. Now exactlly who is it that decides what is and is not sleeze? Are great art works like the Madonna sleeze? Some would certainly say so. How about videos explaining HIV and how it's transmitted and the proper use of a condem? Is that sleeze? Again many would say yes. Or how about those traditional "cute" baby pictures mom and dad took of their naked infant? That will put you in jail in some states.

No, the real problem is that words like "porn" and "sleeze" are really "code words" for, "This is my view of the world and I want to force it on you." I can prove that statement in the following manner:

I suggest I be made made the absolute authority on what is and is not porn or sleeze and then EVERYONE be forced to live by what I decide. Not interested? Well, I sure am NOT about to let you decide for me either...
