Cop Sex Irony

I don't think the juxtoposition of the two images (cops over chalk on sidewalk, cops in front of strip club) is ironic at all. I think that porn is just fine. And I think that the war Bush and cronies want to start in Iraq is totally wrong. As a former stripper who is an antiwar activist, my point is that the antiwar does not mean antiporn.

To be perfectly honest, I believe that the police officers were doing their duty: Protecting private property that operates under a legal business liscense, regardless of the particular feelings of others on the issue.

I know cops who are pro-life who defended abortion clinics back when the Pro-life-lunatics were all but about to destroy the place.

It's not about how they feel about a subject in their personal life, it's about duty.

"my point is that the antiwar does not mean antiporn"

No offense intended. No sweeping statement about the multifaceted and increasingly diverse movement in unity against the war was intended.

Obviously the cops didn't choose to line up in front of the chalk because of the chalk. They probably weren't lining up in front of the "adult" theater because it was being targeted in any way (I didn't see it being targeted, but wouldn't be surprised if there were people who wanted to protest it).

The two images seemed worthy of note not just for their irony but for the questions they bring to mind. There are a lot of issues which arise from them. If a picture is worth 1,000 words are two oddly related pictures worth 1,000,000?

I didn't post them in support of Puritanism or any other belief system which is against sexuality. I *would* personally prefer a world where people weren't selling themselves in any form, but until that day is it essentially different whether one is a stripper, a stocker, or a stock broker? I would say no: they are essentially the same in what I consider to be the most important senses. Individual results in practice may vary but the overall system is the same: coerced submission to a hierarchical system of wage slavery.
