You may change your mind when I tell you that there will be no 
viewing of anything we might declare indecent. We're going to use the 
same technique religious organizations use. We won't see the movie, 
we'll just assume it's indecent.

I realize it may present a problem in codifying indecency into real 
law but I couldn't live with myself If I thought I'd exposed 
otherwise decent men and women to pictures or audio of naked humans. 
Even audio, which is what will get us into the most trouble here, is 
dangerous because of its "theatre of the mind" nature. Those pictures 
are usually dirtier than the printed ones - assuming you believe a 
freshly bathed naked human is dirty. Mud wrestlers pose a different 
problem. Are they technically naked if they're covered with mud?

Sorry, no feelthy peectures until we come to the part where we 
determine the fine for mud wrestling. Those will be stills in the 
interest of decency.
