29	The Debate Over Pornography with Ron Jeremy	7:00PM	MUC Meridian Ballroom
	Pornography is a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States alone, but serious discussion of the issue is rare. Is it degrading to women, or empowering? Is it an addictive and destructive habit, or a window to a fun fantasy world? In this intelligent and multi-faceted debate, all aspects of the Pornography issue are discussed and examined.  Ron Jeremy (perhaps the world’s most well known porn star) will debate Michael Leahy (a former porn addict and founder of the anti-pornography group Bravehearts).  For more information, contact Kevin Coppinger at kcoppin@siue.edu.
