Just say 'No' to .xxx domain

To Whom It May Concern:

I have been referred by John M. R. Kneuer, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for 
Communications and Information, to your office to submit my comments and 
protests regarding the proposed .xxx domain.

The public should not have to point out what is already widely apparent and 
experienced as the social an moral plague the proliferation of pornography has 
brought upon our society. Why your corporation would even consider accepting 
the proposal to create an .xxx domain, even under the fabricated excuse that it 
would somehow 'protect' our most susceptible citizens, boggles the mind. 
Regardless of where this vile and destructive obsession with the most base and 
depraved of human behaviour is 'relocated', it will be no less destructive, and 
as past inclinations have shown, it refuses to be 'contained'.

Since there is no legitimate benefit to society associated with the consumption 
of pornography, but serious allegations as to its detrimental affects on adults 
and children alike, a fact Ted Bundy would attest to, if he were still around, 
as could several other rapists, sado-masochists and serial sex-murderers who 
got their 'inspirations' from consuming pornographic material, the aim should 
be to purge such web sites from cyber space whenever and wherever possible.

Even though corporations are not 'citizens', and view us only as their 'market 
of consumers', it is in the best interest of corporations as well, to preserve 
their 'market of consumers' by promoting that which encourages sound and 
healthy pursuits of that which has at least some semblance of nobility and 
integrity to it, and doesn't endorse an indulgence that breeds more than one 
kind of disease in the minds as well as the bodies of its 'junkies'. 

For the preservation of an already degraded society, I urge you to "Just say 
No!" to the proposed .xxx domain and any other proposal that has nothing better 
than the perverse and the vile to offer. Thank you for taking my comments into 
consideration.

Sincerely,

Linda Klassen
