	I really enjoy statements like this. Taboos. Makes all of us 
sound like the natives in any Tarzan flick you ever saw. 

	"No Bwana, No go! Taboo!"

	'Break down' implies force of some kind. If you don't think
porn will be mandatory, please say something like 'erode'. Also, 
just what is wrong with eroding taboos? I'd prefer making an informed 
decision about something, rather that relying on a taboo to think for me!

	If and when the day comes when the majority of the American
people believe that children can give consent to engage in such activities,
child pornography can be, will be, and should be legal...
