Feature: "Sex Police," October 25
I just finished readin' "Sex Police," and I got a few things to say. To start with, who do these people think they are? I mean, really. Pornography is an American institution. Just because these holier-than-thou "Christians" (I use that term loosely) can't enjoy a little sexual dysfunction doesn't mean we all gotta be punished. If they really want sumthin' to protest, how about the Bushit administration and this so-called "war" we're in? Yeah, I said it!
Before I take it back, I'll add more to it. People will always like porn and sex toys. Granted, underage porn should NEVER be sold or distributed anywhere. But as far as anything else, I couldn't care less. If sumone wants to fuck an animal, it's their choice. I ain't gotta watch it. Also, damn-near everyone has a computer. If they want it, they'll find a way to get it. That's human nature.
Everyone comes from different backgrounds. I like lesbian porn. Sumone else might like hermaphrodites. We are all human beings, and GOD gave us Free Will. I'll be damned to have it taken from me by sumone I'll probably never meet.
Here's a tip for all y'all who have a problem with porn: GET A LIFE! And as for the churches, preach The Word of GOD and let people make their own choices. PLUS (peace, love, unity, soul),

I applaud Peter Rugg for his courage and how he delved into the realm of evil. Is it not evident that ignorance is evil's prominent highway?
Everyone should get off their butts and initiate peace and harmony. Unfortunately, most people, myself included, have no idea how to initiate this peace now that the world is filled with so many fanatics and extremists. Consequently, we persist in our apathy while other entities persist in their radical behavior.

Many thanks to The Pitch and reviewer Dana Self for your coverage of Looking West, our current exhibit at the Belger Arts Center. We're very proud of this exhibit, and we're glad The Pitch is helping get the word out. With 19 artists and 80 works in the show, we feel that everyone who visits will find something to like.
The curator for Looking West, Evelyn Craft, set out to make our visitors reflect on terms such as "the West" and "cowboy." It's obvious from Self's review that she has succeeded. As a Kansas Citian, I was especially pleased that Ms. Self chose to give a pat on the back to local photographers Wes Lyle and Larry Schwarm. Both men are wonderful artists and longtime contributors to the local photography scene.
Thanks again to The Pitch for reserving space every week to document the thriving Kansas City art scene!

Free Willy,
Seriously, I agree with most of your comments, but your lack of grammatical skills or spelling skills portray you as an absolute idiot---which I'm sure you're not. Any time you are writing an opinion piece that could be published publicly, Dude, make sure the grammar and spelling are correct. It may seem like a small detail, but I promise it will go a long way in giving validity to whatever opinion you are wanting to espouse.
It's because I agree with you that I send this message. Those who choose to get their panties in a wad (pun intended) can use your writing skills against you (regardless of whether or not it has anything to do with the topic at hand). They'll pick on whatever they perceive to be a weakness. Think a shark with the first smell of blood. Opinion-wise, you and I totally match up, but I have had enough debates in my life that I can anticipate where my opponents are going to identify and attack my weaknesses.
Christ, you'd think I was running for some election.....
Leaving you alone now,
Sue

What has porn done for our country?
nothing.
What does it do to our country?
Plenty.
porn becomes more and more graphic and downright disturbing as time goes on.
Gays, lesbians, acceptance by society at large. Most crimes involve sex or money (or both)the world becomes more twisted as our "freedom" is expanded.
The United states is becoming a cesspool of acceptance with no standards, no decency and no hope. not just the US.. but most countries, the world. things are not getting better, they only get worse.
one doesnt have to be some bible thumping jesus freak to disagree with the way things are going( I dont read the bible, I dont go to church) But I would have to be a moronic lemming ( like most of you) to believe that was has become acceptable by society should be acceptable to me.
