[Vision2020] Debate on Pornography to be Held at WSU on Feb. 5

[deb]

AAARGH!!! I thought when they postponed this we might be able to dogde it 
entirely. It isn't a "debate", it's shock entertainment with a publicity 
pack that makes it seem important and real. I am boycotting this mess, 
asking WSU Student Entertainment Board to do better than this, and 
encouraging others to do the same. A serious discussion on pornography is 
welcome---this is a damn joke!
