Colin, I think that had 9/11 not occured, most of us would be out of business or up to our eyes in legal costs. In a very weird way, our industry has been saved because Ashcroft and his cronies have enough prisoners to bash on and supposed terrorist cells to dismantle. Had this not come to the front, I am confident that we would have been his #1 target.
When Bush finally gets the troops out of Iraq (and I think it will be Kerry getting the out, but that is another story), and when things calm down a bit, I think you will see the domestic issues come to the surface, and ashcroft's merry men will be out looking at websites and viewing videos and getting all pissed off.
Giving Bush a second term is like poking a sleeping bear with a sharp stick.
As for "remember", it is because while numbers don't lie, without backing they are just meaningless numbers.

That may be so. I have no idea. By the same token, what would have happened IF the Supreme Court had not ruled CDA unconstitutional?
I don't disagree with you that Bush and Ashcroft are a threat to the industry. Just how much of a threat though is really anyone's guess. Whether we would be "out of business or up to our eyes in legal costs" is completely conjectural. I have to say, overall, I don't disagree with the basic premise. Conservatism is bad for porn. There is some anti-porn momentum and another term of Bush might really bring it out. I'm voting Kerry - depending on how the world looks in November.
I don't think it's realistic though that the average pornographer is going to come under fire.
