Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

A Public Health Crisis


Guess what the state of Utah has just declared to be a "public health crisis"?

Pornography, of course!
Yesterday, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert, Republican and Mormon, signed a state resolution to that effect, which vowed to "prevent exposure and addiction" to porn and to combat it at a "societal level."

Conservatives just keep recycling their favorite old boogeymen and silly things to be afraid of.


America is far and away the world leader in gun violence, per capita gun possession, and per capita gun deaths.  Might gun violence be considered a public health crisis?  Something to prevent at a societal level?  NO!  But pornography -- there's something that's really dangerous.

Republicans are a public health crisis.
