That ordinance has got to be one of the sickest, most vile things I have ever read. I think that this ordinance, because it states that adult women, found to be in full possesion of their faculties, are not empowered with the capacity to contract, WHILE MEN ARE. It states explicitly in that ordinance that a woman's contract to engage in a pornographic photo session can in now way be enforced. The men involved in the session, however, are deemed fully capapble of entering into the contracts. Thus we see that in a matter of sexually explicit material, women are demeaned to the status of children, while men are not. Thus this act is pornography, and its printing, display and distribution should be immediately banned upon its passing, which will hopefully be a cold day in hell. -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. - Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473

This is what it seems like to me... I would hope that every woman in Minnesota (or wherever this ordinance is up for grabs at) protests this for all that it's worth. This ordinance sets society back a few hundred years or so. And I thought we were making progress... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Henry C.
