For the uninformed, Ray is a truly ingenious satirist of the highest order.
He makes statements like these that a Mack truck could be driven through
(the past has worked:  fill in your favorite problem that has plagued us
throughout the "past").  His best work is found in net.abortion, for those
interested.

This is Ray on pornography.  His brilliance is still astounding to me.
I mean, you read this, and the words "why is the fact that you find something
disgusting a reason to ban it?" are on the tip of the tongue from the capital
"H" straight through to the question mark!  THIS is what brilliant satire is
all about.
