Thank you Lorraine for your sensitive attention to "those we care about." Commercial titillation withers in the presence of strong positive relationships with high-quality people. While I appreciate the professional agents who curb exploiters and abusers, I agree that my best role is to help people feel loved in the right way, as you beautifully describe. The way to starve pornography of its audience is to spread genuine experiences like the nest warmth we feel in family prayer. When that secure sense of belonging permeates all our relationships all the time, we are quietly replacing falseness with authenticity.

Sadly, I suspect we may not be able to make much of a difference in the operating policies of these enterprises (especially when they deny the practices described here). Perhaps all we can do is to guard, first and foremost, our own lives against the evils provided so openly, and then strive to influence those we care about to do the same.

Thank you for telling us how to contact Verizon to fight against this terrible plague. Perhaps you could write a follow-up article with suggestions for making a difference with the rest of the Dirty Dozen?
