I was not quoting anyone or a particular case. And I really was not referring to Jacobellis v. Ohio which is the case Justice Potter Stewart made the comments about obscenity. The issue was about pornographic images and the standards in a particular community in Ohio. And the issue has been litigated a few times since the original case the Supreme Court ruled on from everything from an issue with the group 2 Live Crew in the 90s and even a book called Lady Chatterly's Lover was also an issue for the court. The issue of obscenity might have been talked about, but at the core it was what pornography could and could not be displayed or consumed by the public in certain communities. Now if you did not know that, maybe you should not comment what I have to say. After all I am going to school in this area of social science.

Peace
