" Of course as soon as it became apparent that you could use it to pay for - shudder - "adult" products, they'd suddenly be discovered to be funneling money to terrorists and banned from the US." I doubt it. The US is the #1 producer and consumer of pornography worldwide, and the industry accounts for roughly 14 billion dollars per year. As long as there's money in porn, it will always have a home in the U.S. (whether the electorate like it or not). Besides, allowing porn to exist gives a lot of angry people something to shout about, and there's nothing more beneficial for politicians than lots of angry people to sympathize with. ;)
