All,

  If this bit of news wasn't so tragic is would be humorous.
Frankly a better argument in favor of .xxx would be based
on discrimination or repressing expression/speach.  I personally
am against promoting in any way, porn on the Internet.  .xxx
will not help one bit in supressing porn on the Internet as
ccTLD's and other gTLD's such as .biz, .info, .net, .com, .org,
all already have a huge number of domain names registered that
provide various types of porn.  so parents simply blocking .xxx
domain names will do little, if anything at all in preventing
their children from viewing porn.  Yet I can also see how ICANN
is kind of "up against it" as it were, with this delema. Dammed
if they approve it, and dammed if they don't.  But will $$ trump
principal or which principal has superior consideration?
