No surprise, but I thought this was funny:

Porn in the USA: Conservatives are biggest consumers (http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16680-porn-in-the-usa-conservatives-are-biggest-consumers.html)

However, there are some trends to be seen in the data. Those states that do consume the most porn tend to be more conservative and religious than states with lower levels of consumption, the study finds.

"Some of the people who are most outraged turn out to be consumers of the very things they claimed to be outraged by," Edelman says.

I suppose it's because they have to be such upstanding citizens in public (and no pun intended). It must be a strain.

I'm not surprised. Some of the biggest horn dogs I've ever been around were Southern Baptists.

What say we move this one to, oh, Misc Disc? Not really Philo-fodder, is it?

Not so! See, we SC admins are straightforward despots. But because we want to be enlightened despots, I'll often ask what people want.

And if they don't want what I do, I'll make them climb to the highest tower of the castle, and jump out of the window while I play strange songs on my Hammond organ. ;)
