"Although pornography has been around for centuries, its availability on the Internet has opened the door for more perversion than ever before. Pornography is no longer just photos of nude women, but a major industry with tentacles reaching into every segment of society. " - The Center for Moral Clarity
I'm having trouble deciding if that was deliberate or merely unfortunate wording.

"Being poor itself is not yet a crime, but in at least a third of the states, being in debt can now land you in jail. If a creditor like a landlord or credit card company has a court summons issued for you and you fail to show up on your appointed court date, a warrant will be issued for your arrest. And it is easy enough to miss a court summons, which may have been delivered to the wrong address or, in the case of some bottom-feeding bill collectors, simply tossed in the garbage — a practice so common that the industry even has a term for it: "sewer service." In a sequence that National Public Radio reports is "increasingly common," a person is stopped for some minor traffic offense — having a noisy muffler, say, or broken brake light — at which point the officer discovers the warrant and the unwitting offender is whisked off to jail."

R.V. Jones, the man more or less in charge of British scientific intelligence during WWII, describes how acclimatization to small changes can be made to work for one's benefit, via the story of American physicist R.W. Wood:

Wood at one stage in his early career worked in Paris and lived in a block of flats. He observed that the lady in the flat below kept a small tortoise in a window box. He secured a supply of tortoises of various sizes and by means of a grappling device ... fished out the original tortoise and replaced it by one that was slightly larger. Over the course of a week or so, by successive small increases of size of tortoise, the lady was convinced that her pet was growing at an astonishing rate.... Wood ... suggested that the lady might write to a newspaper about it. This she did.... Wood reversed his nightly procedure, and to everyone's astonishment the tortoise gradually shrank to its original size.
