KEY FINDINGS ON THE EFFECTS OF PORNOGRAPHY
THE FAMILY AND PORNOGRAPHY
1. Married men who are involved in pornography feel less satisfied with their conjugal relations and less emotionally attached to their wives. Wives notice and are upset by the difference.
2. Pornography use is a pathway to infidelity and divorce, and is frequently a major factor in these family disasters.
3. Among couples affected by one spouse's addiction, two-thirds experience a loss of interest in sexual intercourse.
4. Both spouses perceive pornography viewing as tantamount to infidelity.
5. Pornography viewing leads to a loss of interest in good family relations.
THE INDIVIDUAL AND PORNOGRAPHY
1. Pornography is addictive, and neuroscientists are beginning to map the biological substrate of this addiction.
2. Users tend to become desensitized to the type of pornorgraphy they use, become bored with it, and then seek more perverse forms of pornography.
3. Men who view pornography regularly have a higher tolerance for abnormal sexuality, including rape, sexual aggression, and sexual promiscuity.
4. Prolonged consumption of pornography by men produces stronger notions of women as commodities or as "sex objects."
5. Pornography engenders greater sexual permissiveness, which in turn leads to a greater risk of out-of-wedlock births and STDs. These, in turn, lead to still more weaknesses and debilities.
6. Child-sex offenders are more likely to view pornography regularly or to be involved in its distribution.
OTHER EFFECTS OF PORNOGRAPHY
1. Many adolescents who view pornography initially feel shame, diminished self-confidence, and sexual uncertainty, but these feelings quickly shift to unadulterated enjoyment with regular viewing.
2. The presence of sexually oriented businesses significantly harms the surrounding community, leading to increases in crime and decreases in property values.
3. The main defenses against pornography are close family life, a good marriage and good relations between parents and children, coupled with deliberate parental monitoring of Internet use. Traditionally, government has kept a tight lid on sexual traffic and businesses, but in matters of pornography that has waned almost completely, except where child pornography is concerned. Given the massive, deleterious individual, marital, family, and social effects of pornography, it is time for citizens, communities, and government to reconsider their laissez-faire approach.

NEW MAMMOGRAM GUIDELINES FORESHADOW FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE
With the release of new mammogram guidelines by the US Preventive Services Task Force last week, the American public got its first taste of life with health care rationing. The new federal guidelines suggest that health care rationing will be a new tool through which the government can lower health care costs under their health care overhaul plans.
Breast cancer is the leading killer of women between the ages of 40 and 60. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with the disease in their lifetime. With the diagnosis of breast cancer, early detection saves lives. New guidelines released by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force "recommends against routine screening mammography in women aged 40 to 49 years." Nancy Brinker, founder of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, called the new guidelines a setback in the fight to educate the public about the importance of annual screenings to aid in early detection.

A Taxpayer-Friendly Plan That Opens Up Jobs For More Americans
You hear a lot of talk about job creation these days. And most of it is just that, talk. Here's a simple plan that will open up millions of jobs for Americans at little cost to taxpayers. It's time to take action and STOP the great American job give-away.
1. Worksite Enforcement: An estimated 8 million illegal workers hold jobs today. Stepped up enforcement of existing worksite laws and programs such as E-Verify will open up jobs for American workers immediately.
2. Time Out For Temporary Worker Visas: More than 90,000 visas were issued last year alone to foreign temporary workers. And we're still doing it today. Stop giving visas to non-agricultural workers and open those jobs to American Workers.
3. Time Out On Most Permanent Foreign Workers: Of the 1.1 million immigrants admitted to the U.S. last year, 3 of 4 were potential job seekers, while Americans were losing jobs. Reduce the flow of immigration and jobs will open for Americans.

Soros Eyes Secretaries
A group backed by Soros is gearing up to steal the 2012 election for President Obama and congressional Democrats by installing left-wing Democrats as secretaries of state across the nation. From such posts, secretaries of state can help tilt the electoral playing field. This is, of course, the same Soros, the same hyperpolitical left-wing philanthropist who makes no secret of his intention to destroy capitalism. In an interview with Der Spiegel last year, Soros said European-style socialism "is exactly what we need now. I am against market fundamentalism. I think this propaganda that government involvement is always bad has been very successful -- but also very harmful to our society." The vehicle for this planned hijacking of democracy is a below-the-radar non-federal "527" group called the Secretary of State Project. The entity can accept unlimited financial contributions and doesn't have to disclose them publicly until well after the election.
