News reports this morning that the OECD is moving out of strictly economic matters and is focussing on "child porn," calling a special meeting in July to discuss the laws of various countries and how they can be regularized to control the availability of porn and child porn on the Net.

The war is moving into its next phase.

There will be a "War on Porn" on the internet that will mirror the "War on Drugs" currently taking place. All that the government wants is their piece of the action. Like drugs, the porn will always be available, but the price will fluctuate according to the level of government control and/or illegality. The "War on Porn" will turn into another essential national industry which will become part of the GNP. The "winners" in this war will be the journalists who have covered the "War on Drugs" as they will merely have to dust off old stories and substitute "Porn" for "Drugs" wherever it occurs. The "loser" will be the Hoover Vacume Cleaner Company, whose development of Virtual Cathouse technology will fall victim to new legislation. TruthMonger
