Americas bible belt and lesbian porn.

Okay, so not so long ago in a small public library in Bentonville, Arkansas, the teenage sons of a Mr. Earl Adams, were perusing the military history section when they made a horrifying discovery. There, on the shelves among the tomes of Sun Tsu and Steven Ambrose the history hungry youngsters found a book that just didn't belong. That book was " The Whole Lesbian Sex Book". I'll tell you, when I read this story, I was shocked, " they have libraries in Arkansas"? I thought to myself, I never would have believed it. Well, the facts are kind of shaky about what the teens did after they found the book, I am sure that, being forward thinking children, they alerted the librarian immediately and he or she removed the offending book and placed it in its Dewey specified area. After all, what self respecting set of teenage boys wants to read a book about lesbianism? Perhaps a less moral child would have sneaked away to a darkened corner of the library and looked for erotic pictures or even slightly arousing paragraphs but I have no doubts that Mr. Adams children knew better. Adams is now seeking reparations in the order of twenty thousand dollars,(10 grand per kid), siting mental strain from lack of sleep. Adams was quoted as saying, his sons were, "greatly disturbed" and finding the book had caused,"many sleepless nights in our house". I can really sympathize with Adams plight, you see, when I was fourteen years old, I found my neighbors copy of Hustler magazine. Naturally, with a name like Hustler, I thought it was an instructional magazine on the art of gambling, little did I know that, when I opened the cover, that I was gambling with my youth. Nude women with super human breast gravity, washing expensive cars covered in nothing more than a thin layer of baby oil, some soap suds and, what I can only assume was sin in liquid form. On yet another page, a ridiculously long legged vixen sitting atop a pool table, right foot in the corner pocket and the left, impossibly wedged in the far side pocket, glistening cheeks befouling a once fine felt. Worst of all was the middle of the book, were two women were intertwined in a greasy act of well lit coitus, I remember being so upset by some of these photos that all could do was stare at the page, feeling to dirty to even turn the page and to disgusted to look away. After breaking the spell of the scandalous mag, I ran straight home, jumped in the shower and tried to wash away the filth. Much like the Adams kids, I too spent many a night, wide awake, not able to get the wicked pictures from my head, I also continued to try to wash the filth from my skin, sometimes as much as three or four times a day. Good for Mr. Adams in his pursuit of this 20,000 dollars, it is high time a father started protecting his offspring from the ravages of the outside world and all its sick, twisted, morally decayed reality. The offending publication has since been removed from the shelves of the Bentonville public library, in an e-mail, last Thursday, Adams said, " God was speaking to my heart that day and helped me find the words that proved successful in removing this book from the shelf." Wow, another shock, they have the internet in Arkansas? I'll be damned. Well it's a good thing they got the book of the shelves anyway, now hopefully Mr. Adams children don't accidentally find more pornography on that that internet.

The reality of this whole thing is this. If you got ten grand every time your troubled teen spider monkeyed himself in the dark. the planet would be buried in cash, masturbating would totally devalue the dollar. The ensuing depression that would happen after every parent in the world gave their kids a Larry Flint stylized stock portfolio would have us all looking at porn in mile long bread lines. Mr. Adams is another person in search of a fast buck off of a frivolous lawsuit. If he was serious about his moral conviction and not just another moron on parade like so much of the rest of our planet, he would march back to the Bentonville library and have them remove all offending sexual material and not just the one book that probably kicks his male insecurity into hyper drive. He could start with getting rid of the video,"A Christian approach to Sex Education", then you could move on to," Alice on the outside", of course you would need to get rid of,"Anna Karenina", and finally, bye bye to, " All in a Lifetime: An Autobiography of Dr. Ruth K. Westeimer. In for a penny, in for a pound, right Earl?

Saddly what I was originally going to write got all erased, but, non-the-less this angers me so, I can't believe what low caliber people are running at. This fuck asshole is making it a whole lot harder for me, someone who has a worthwhile complaint, to start a lawsuit. This makes me grit my teeth just like when I read about the women who sued, what I believe was a grocery mark, when she claimed tripping over her own child was their safety fault. What is America coming to?
