15 reasons why porn is good for America

On this day of celebration we are reminded of a debate held back in 1998 at the Oxford Union Society, which enumerated 15 reasons why pornography is good for society.

While Oxford is in England, we believe that pornography is good for all societies - even the United States of America. It is ironic and sad that the leaders of a country that is founded on principles of freedom and liberty choose to repress free expression if that expression is in any way sexual. What do they fear?
