Your taxes in action...

When FBI supervisors in Miami met with new interim U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta last month, they wondered what the top enforcement priority for Acosta and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales would be.

Would it be terrorism? Organized crime? Narcotics trafficking? Immigration? Or maybe public corruption?

The agents were stunned to learn that a top prosecutorial priority of Acosta and the Department of Justice was none of the above. Instead, Acosta told them, it's obscenity. Not pornography involving children, but pornographic material featuring consenting adults.

Acosta's stated goal of prosecuting distributors of adult porn has angered federal and local law enforcement officials, as well as prosecutors in his own office. They say there are far more important issues in a high-crime area like South Florida, which is an international hub at risk for terrorism, money laundering and other dangerous activities.

It makes perfect sense to me. That way, when the terrorists detonate a nuclear device in the middle of a busy downtown area, or when the poison our water supply with a highly infectious biological agent, or when they manage to fly more planes into highrise office buildings...

We can all die together and be greeted at the pearly gates because we didn't look at internet porn.

I really wish you would friend [info]dgreatone. He is a very sweet guy but also a log cabin republican who thinks anyone who doesnt agree with him is a liberal idiot.
I think maybe you would make his argument hold alot less water.

Judging only by his website and occasional postings to the republican community on LJ (which I also monitor), I suspect he's too caught up in his ideology. I get regular doses of that level of craziness elsewhere, so I'm all full-up for now. :)
