Why this? Why Larry Flint over Hugh.

larry was to me was more of a first amendment person, he also had no hang ups about what he did, while I feel that there was more about Hugh that he tried to hide, Larry was always pretty upright. I think ht challenged the norms in a way that Hugh never did.
He pushed things to an extreme, and was more willing to tackle issues that were more taboo and out there, i liked that about him.
I give Hugh the credit for starting something, but maybe it is the part of me that grew up punk and liking people who took on people powerful in creative ways.
Larry to me was pornography through and through, he made no claims to be anything but, I felt his brash honesty was cooler.
Out of the big 3 in the world of pornography (Hefner, Guccione and Flynt) he always fascinated me more.
