The preservation of a free Government requires not merely, that the metes and bounds which separate each department of power be invariably maintained; but more especially that neither of them be suffered to overleap the great barrier which defends the rights of the people. - James Madison

The International Need for an Obscenity Standard

From Agape:

Led by a request from the president of Morality in Media, a number of prominent pro-family groups have recently asked President George W. Bush "to take a leadership role in addressing the international dimension of the ever-expanding obscenity problem."

Perhaps the Evangelical Christians and militant Muslims can put their joint fatwa on hold long enough to work together on a project in which each's moral certitude blends nicely with the other's, namely the eradication of naked women. As the Intelligent Designer surely knows, the prevention of the viewing of naked women falls in neatly behind food, shelter and clothing as far as the UN agenda is concerned. It's practically a subtopic of 'clothing.'
