because I don't care what two adults do - I can ignore what two adults do consensually. I want 100% of all the tax dollars earmarked for porn to fight CHILD PORN.

Why is Gonzales not insisting on fighting CHILD PORN with 100% of his efforts and 100% of his anti-porn budget?

How dare he fail those children by focusing on consensual adult porn.

1. It's like the war on drugs in the 80s.
that's when we saw the CIA and the Repugs profitting the most from drug smuggling.
So now porn is a huge money making industry - hmmmmm. Maybe someone wants
their piece of the action?

2. small point
for every 1 cent spent on child porn there is probably $100,000 spent on adult porn. As the saying goes follow the money.

3. because there isn't any child porn
think of the logic of it, almost no one is interested in child porn, the market must be incredibly small

look at how often you see a child porn prosecution, and it always turns out some dude was in a chat room w. an fbi agent pretending to be a 13 year old, it seems there is no real child porn to be found at all outside the cloisters of the various churches

so they have a choice, make up crimes (which they're already doing with the various chat room schemes as described above) or just boldly go after those who are not committing crimes

real criminals have guns and high-paid attorneys, so there's no joy in going after them
