It Seems That In Baltimore, One Of The Most Violent Cities In America, Jurors Are Far More Reluctant To Convict Criminal Defendants Than In The Suburban Enclaves That Ring The City.

This Is A Moment, 1971, Of Something That Was Under The Counter: Then Brown Paper Bags Suddenly Became Legal, Pornography. And It Was Really The Birth Of An Industry Which Is Now A Multi-billion Dollar American Standard. And These People Were The Pioneers At A Moment Where There Really Were No Rules, Then Suddenly There Was A Legal Industry That Was Allowed To Exist.

What We've Learned From The Whole Election Cycle Of 2016 President Elections Is Men And Women, Men Particularly, Are Pretty Comfortable Talking About Women In Terms That - I Think It's Hard For Me To Not Believe This Has Been Influenced By Fifty Years Of Open Pornography And That Kind Of Culture.

Not Only Did This New Pornography Industry Change The Way Men Look At Women And How We Relate To Sex, How We Sell Stuff, And Not Only Did It Change America's Cultural Landscape - It's Also This Incredible Metaphor For A Market-based Economy. The Great Pyramid Scheme That America Has Become. I Felt Like In Were Larger Themes In Terms Of Culture And Economics That Could Be Addressed.
