I Oppose the .XXX Domain

[Mike <rifme@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Members of the Board of ICANN:

I am writing to urge you to kill the proposal of the .XXX domain. In addition 
to strong opposition from both sides of the argument, this new domain would 
only increase the amount of pornography available on the Web, easing 
accessibility to hard core pornography to minors and adults alike. 

Pornography is a widespread, ever-growing crisis, polluting the minds of its 
viewers and negatively changing attitudes towards women and children. Please do 
NOT participate in the destruction of marriages, the abuse of children, and the 
demise of our culture.

A more appropriate goal should be to STOP the distribution of this destructive 
material by prosecuting those responsible for it, not to protect pornography on 
the .XXX domain.

One has only to look around to see the destructive effects that pornography is 
inflicting upon our society.  Pornography is a "brain wasting" and "soul 
devouring" disease; an addiction that only gets worse with time.  Innocent 
children are becoming  victims to this sickness, and the moral fabric of our 
nation is crumbling bit by bit as a result.

Again, please kill the proposal of the .XXX domain.

Mike and Anne Herring
