one who disagrees

response to  bnfleming's post Help me, please

I suppose the definition of GOOD is subjective - judging by my own standards for any magazine, this one is definitely good: the topics are dead-on relevant, the writing is genuinely interesting, and the tone is frank.
Other worthwhile aims for society that I would deem as good: benevolence, charity, universal health care, cost-free higher education, reduction of pesticide use, improvement of highways...
While I could continue with that list until tomorrow, I do not think 'ceasing to condone pornography' would be anywhere on my list.
Moral character is defined by honesty and strength, and a desire to work with facts rather than sweep them under the rug. And despite the inflammatory nature of the facts about the pornography industry, there are truly frightening, significantly more pressing facts to shine the spotlight of outrage upon. If our society is to be a 'good' one, our priority should be unencumbered dialog rather than the eradication of our sex industry (where supply is only as large as demand).
