Secondly - and most importantly - its all voluntary - no one will tell you you have to use a different domain tld - unless you let your congressmen vote a law into effect that would allow that - and then it would only affect US domain owners - of course the Canadian company that will make all of this profit from this approval is sitting back laughing that no representative of the real adult industry came forward and said - no this is not what we want during the public comment period.

Well said. This is not political - YET. (At least, not openly.) Right now this is about profits. But you can bet your booty that once the .xxx TLD is in common use, the arbiters of morality will do everything in their power to ghettoize adult content.
