Devil In The Details

By

Roger Behra

When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that internet pornography cannot be outlawed because it is covered under the U.S. Constitution as a form of "free speech", the Court members who made that legal decision had no idea that they were unleashing a great number of evil actions that exist in modern American culture. Many lives have been caught up in pornography addiction and sex crimes because of the Court's decision.

It is understandable that pornography can be termed a form of speech in a loose manner of thinking, but internet pornography cannot. It really is an evil invasion and temptation into millions of homes where other types of pornography would not exist otherwise. Therefore, like it or not, pornography is there in millions of homes when the homes have decided to have online services. It is not free, because people have to pay for the online services. There is no free choice in the matter. The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed an evil and addictive temptation to enter so many homes, and millions of people succumb to the temptation that otherwise they would not.

Here are some examples. When the contents of bin Laden's compound were checked over they found pornography on his computer and among his personal possessions. Explicit pornography was found at a California middle school in the backpack of a 10-year-old boy student. It was downloaded off a computer. Middle school stud¬ents are now sexting. They send explicit photos of themselves in various nude sexual positions. They reveal they get their ideas off the internet. Living pornography was going on in some Vietnamese coffee houses in California. Waitresses wore very thin sheer gowns that plainly showed their bare breasts, bare pubic areas, and bare bottoms as they served their coffee and tea to customers. A high school teacher was caught having sex with a female student after hours in his classroom. After checking his computer, they found considerable pornography was contained therein. A priest who was in charge of children was charged with child sex abuse and with having considerable pornography on his computer. A group of U.S. Government workers were caught viewing internet pornography during working hours. If a wealthy person paid to have explicit pornography displayed on bill¬boards across America, the authorities would not consider it free speech. However computer screens in millions of homes are like small billboards with pornography.

The framers of the U.S. Constitution were clear and sensible thinkers, and they valued the practice of Christian thinking and actions. Had they thought the evil of pornography would ever gain legitimacy as a form of free speech, they would have excluded it as free speech. The U.S. Supreme Court did not exercise the same clear thinking as the framers did, and they missed a golden opportunity to pre¬vent a serious evil and addiction to become commonplace in the lives of many millions of people. As a result the U.S. Supreme Court became the devil in the details, and it will be credited to them forever. Shame on them-FOREVER!
