Pornography
Usually, any discussion on
pornography revolves around arguments
about freedom of speech and- :artistic
licence. The subject of money rarely, if
ever, arises. However, dig into the
pornography business and you will find it
powered not by artists or free thinkers;
but by men who want to make a buck.
The pornogrpaher tries to divert
anyone who tries to complain by decrying ,
him as, a witch - hunter, a .. mental
neaderthal stamping on artistic effdrt. But
no thihking person, could confuse
aberration with art. The artist uses sex for
creative purpose. The pornographer uses it
as a stimulant to the curious, the
troubled; the sick and depraved. His
purpose is to make money — as much as
he can.
Some pornography is legal; some is
illegal.
The explicit depicting of the sex act in
magazines is banned for publiC
consumption'. Hard-core magazines
pornography, then, lis underground.
Above ground, however, many grubby
publications thrive, publications which
cover transvestism, sadism, flagellation
and other sexual aberrations -- quite
pornographic enough for the deVotee of
this kind of literature.
Regarding books, there are no limits
to what can be said in print — no need
here for an underground movement.
Legally, business is flourishing. The print
market for the pornographic books was
reached in North America in 1934 when
the. United States Court of Appeals
rendered a decision which opened up
bookstores to James Joyce's "Ulysses." —
and incidentally to four letter words. ..
Unfortunately, too many. of Joyce's
successors do not measure Lip as artist.
Pocket book racks abound with sexual
circuses degrading to writer, reader and
publisher and anyone else connected with
them.
Pornography is becoming `increasingly
acceptable in films, as any movie gder
knows. An even more explicit
underground business also exists.
As long as sex sells and money attracts
morons, the pornography business above .
and below ground will flouriSh. It is time
we stopped being afraid to attack its'
leaders. They are not sensitive artists; they
are businessmen and their business is
unsavoury. What's wrong with demanding
that it be cleaned up?

Many people •bave a peculiar
idea of "progress". They con-
fuse it with growth or with
change or with size. In many
cases, these things represent
regress, rather than progress.
I try not• to be bitter, but I
have a perfect example of that
kind of progress right outside
my , front door. When we
moved here, it was to a quiet
residential street, a leafy tun-
nel of voluptuous maples and
stately oaks, with a green bou-
levard.
It was gentle and pleasant
and safe for children. The
town council, in the name of
progress, tore out the boule-
vard, cut down _some trees and
widened the street.
Results? We now have a
speedway out front, and you
can scarcely risk crossing the
street to the mailbox. The
squeal of tires makes the night
hideous, as the punks try their
spurs, The remaining trees are
dying because their natural en-
vironment has been disturbed.
Much beauty lost, and the only
ugly things, hydro and tele-
phone poles, left standing in
their nakedness.
Just to complete the picture,
'there has been a "develop-
ment", which is automatically
"progress" in many minds, at
the end of our street. What
was once glorious bushland is
now a desert of asphalt, con-
taining a supermarket, two gas
stations and a Provincial Po-
lice barracks.
Because of the development,
traffic on our street liar quin-
tupled, and every cparter-hotir
an ancient, snarling bus, belch-
ing poison, goes by ,the • front
dock.,

velopers". They take a section
of beautiful bushland, fertile
farmland or lush Fruitland.
They send their bulldozers in
to make sure everything remo-
tely pretty is made ugly. Then
they carve it into 50-foot lots
and stick in the jerry-built
houses, cheek-by-jowl, at swol-
len prices. This when Canada
has more land that is useless
for anything else but building
than it can ever use.
Oh, progress has many faces.
It has many sounds. Far be-
low the whoosh of the billion-
dollar rocket may be heard the
whimper of a starving child.
It has many smells. Behind
the sweet emissions of the
Public Relations Dept. can be
discerned the unmistakeable
stench of greed, poverty, pollu-
tion and waste'.
Progress will take a beauti-
ful trout stream and poison it
with chemicals or detergents
because, "We need the indus-
try."
Progress steadily takes more
money for "defence", another
phoney word, and less and less, '
comparatively, for the old, the
sick and the helpless.
ProgreSs adopts a liberal at-
titude toward drugs, but looks
down its nose at the dirty,

Progress means bigger cars
