“No. I don't think there should be a tax. I think there should be restrictions, but a tax is not the way to go. A tax would do more to legitimize it like liquor and cigarettes.”

“No. They probably wouldn't generate much money anyway because of the Internet.”
— Jenel Farrell, librarian, Washington, D.C.
“I doubt it would be constitutional because of the first amendment, and it would be almost impossible to enforce unless they start a new task force.”
— D'Arcy Stone, Kansas University junior, Lawrence
“Of course not. People can decide their own morals. It's not for the government to decide.”
