The Flood of Pornography

I am writing to you because I am very worried about the tidal wave of pornography that leaves nobody in our country, not even the children, untouched. I hope that you will take into consideration us normal people who ask only for a healthy environment - where nothing is forced on someone who does not ask for it. One walks on pavements and in streets and everywhere there are shops that cheapen women's bodies - and our children grow up with pornography on street corners - I worry about our country's future - if our youth are exposed in this manner, there will be many more rapes. I think that as a woman I have the right to expect of my government to do something about the increasing wave of pornography.
