The only acceptable restraint on speech is none. If you can ban any idea, no matter how repugnant, then you can ban any other idea as well. It is also, of course, trivial to produce pornography that explicitly states that it is not meant to promote behavior, but simply to report it. Portrayal does not equal promotion. scott preece ihnp4!uiucdcs!uicsl!preece
