    Harmful to Minors

    Read "Harmful to Minors" by Judith Levine, with intro by Joycelyn Elders.

    If you can't use a digital camera, NEVER take your photos to a drugstore. Send them to a mail-order lab. Processing is automated and anonymous. Didn't anyone see "One Hour Photo?" People processing film at drugstores are underpaid and bored. Throw in a little sex-negative religious indoctrination, and you've got the perfect busybodies. This is a nightmare that will be repeated until America ends it's long history of prudery. Shameful.
