Where has all the Hard Porn Gone?

I am reminded of an old protest song, Where have all the flowers gone? as I write this post. I find more hard core porn on the television than ever these days. I try to avoid it. I really do. I watch the history channel which interrupts itself to sell erectile dysfunction pills. I try to watch the news and hear language from the newscasters that would have made Frank McGee blush. I try to watch programs like Law & Order and am accosted at 7 pm with compromising situations. Eeewwww! I know that Tom Lehrer used to make fun of the morality officers of the 1960s, Take the Wizard of Oz -- there's a dirty old man and lay the presumption of dirty language and filthy movies off on the viewer's own world view. But censors have their place and clearly no longer work in the newsrooms and casting areas of the country. Perhaps they work for the military now telling us how well we are doing? Or perhaps they work in Homeland Security telling us how safe we are? I only know ain't no one home doing the work those folks used to do back in my day.
