Forget terrorism, this is what we should be worrying about!

Comparing pornography to heroin, researchers on Thursday called on Congress to finance studies on "porn addiction" and launch a public health campaign about the dangers.


I'd love to see the proposed wording for these:
Layden called for billboards and bus ads warning people to avoid pornography, strip clubs and prostitutes


Someone needs to explain to her about selecting data:
Judith Reisman, a vocal critic of the Kinsey Institute and the field of sexology, suggested Congress require police officers to gather evidence of pornography at crime scenes to further research.

Is it just me, or is it rather silly to be asking Congress to get involved in this sort of thing while we're in the middle of a war, drowning in debt, and have crazed terrorists running around wanting us all dead, dead, dead?

Its not just silly, its downright scary that congress would even listen to a loon like Reisman. Read some of the "White Papers" on her website.

From the article:

But he acknowledged the First Amendment right to free speech has limited congressional efforts. Pesky Constitution!

When are the Republicans going to hold that press conference where they announce that Federalism is dead?
