You probably need to be more cynical - porn was banned in the US, which made it more expensive, which meant that the people who sold it had better control of the distribution and could extract higher margins. Lenny Bruce's claim that the FBI and the Mafia were in conspiracy to keep the price of heroin in the US high does have more than a grain of truth. The religious right does seem to be mainly motivated by the visceral satisfaction they get from stopping other people have a good time, but "harm reduction" is a much better principle to use in regulating recreational drugs and reading. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney
