J.G. Ballard wrote that pornography was the most political fiction - being
principally about how we use each other. And in my gloomier moments I'm
convinced that the only unrecuperable activities are the outrageously
illegal.

It *is* interesting (I keep repeating to myself :-) that the only thing to
be denied to Iranians by both their own government and America's is jpegs of
genitalia.
