Good advice, but...
Phyllis Schlafly would think nothing of trying to ban speech on the internet when it is something that she doesn't agree with.
An interesting allegation. I wonder if it is merely rhetoric or if Jim has any evidence to backup this statement?
Well, I can think of a few reasons to come to that conclusion. - Schlafly is the head of one of the more right-wing organizations in the country. - She is very closly associated with the Buchanon campaign and the Christian coalition. - Her organization, the Eagle Forum, distributes a couple of anti-porn rant tracts (http://www.eagleforum.org/users/eagle/public_html/misc/order.html) called _Pornography's Victims $4.95 (paperback) by Schlafly, ed._ and _Pornography Addict (Bundy Interview)_. (Quoting Bundy is interesting in this context, because he never collected porn, he collected cheerleading magazines. His "death bed confession" was a ploy to gain publicity and sympathy out of a gulible ant-porn zealot.)
Does Jim know who Phyllis' son is?
I know that he is gay. His mother seems to have had some problems coming to terms with the implications of alot of her rhetoric involving such things... (She seems to confuse her religion with reality on this point.) I would say there are alot of reasons to assume that Schlafly would try and impose her morality on the rest of the country if given half the chance. Look at the people she chooses to associate with. --- Alan Olsen -- alano@teleport.com -- Contract Web Design & Instruction `finger -l alano@teleport.com` for PGP 2.6.2 key http://www.teleport.com/~alano/ "We had to destroy the Internet in order to save it." - Sen.
