    I am riding on a limited express, one of the crack trains of the nation.
    Hurtling across the prairie into blue haze and dark air go fifteen all-steel coaches holding a thousand people.
    (All the coaches shall be scrap and rust and all the men and women laughing in the diners and sleepers shall pass to ashes.)
    I ask a man in the smoker where he is going and he answers: "Omaha."

    Man, Sandburg makes even shitty cowtowns sound dynamic and exciting. I wonder what he could do with a real city.

    There are a ton of poets from Boston, but none of them seemed to have written about the city except for Whitman who wrote about dumb patriotic rituals.

    On the one hand, the libertarian in me says that in general people should be able to engage in whatever sexual activities they choose with whomever they choose as long as it's consensual, therefore prostitution should be legal.

    On the other hand, the overwhelming body of evidence suggests that prostitution is an industry populated by deeply mentally troubled women. This has been my personal experience with the prostitutes I've come into contact with during the stranger paths of my life. (No, I've never been the client of one. I've just known a few.) Whether the mental problems precede the prostitution or vice versa isn't clear, it's probably a vicious cycle, but I can't condone an activity that seems so closely tied to severe addiction and mental illness.

    On the first hand, many other sexual activities like homosexuality and BDSM have been tied incorrectly to mental illness over the years, so I'm hesitant to use that as an argument.

    On the second hand yet again, prostitution seems so closely tied to emotional abuse, and emotional abuse victims can engage in behaviors that appear consensual but really are not (like staying with an abusive spouse despite community-instituted escape routes), so I'm just as hesitant to call prostitution "consensual."

    It's a conundrum. Really, I think the ideal situation is for prostitution to stay illegal, but a misdemeanor. Just enough to get the prostitutes into custody and into drug rehab where appropriate; and also to get them to snitch on their pimps, dealers, abusive spouses, and other general slimeballs that might be perpetuating their unhealthy cycles.

    Maybe I should be posting this in the thread.

    The typical response to that argument is "If it were legalized but strictly licensed and inspected, then there wouldn't be a problem with exploitation." To that, I just say a really big "O RLY?" I just have trouble believing that, for no reason I can really eloquently express. Just seems like wishful thinking to me.

    I really want a 360.
    After I buy a new TV.
    Which is after I buy a new sound system.
    Which is after I buy a shoji screen to hide my cat's litter box since my new bathroom doesn't have a good space for it.
    Which is after I stop being broke.
    Which is hopefully soon.
    But that's still a lot of conditions.

    The problem, at least in Australia, is that laws banning the trade of sex workers tend to elicit protests direct from the sex workers themselves, so you can't really tell them to their face that their mentally ill, deluded, whatever.

    sad, I know, but after multiple dvd players broke on me, and then my ps2 died, I figured I wouldn't be watching dvd on my tv for a while, not til I got a dedicated dvd player, which wasn't going to be until after I got a nice TV for my room. instead I get it early as a bonus with this video game system.

    my original xbox couldn't play them so I didn't assume this would. and I get to download free demos in the mean time.

    and maybe eat some cereal. but that's neither here nor there.

    So the concert was good even though there was no Lupe, but still disappointing for that reason. Nearly went deaf though. Always love Talib.

    So my roommate bought 2 fucking 6 packs of Harpoon Raspberry Hefeweizen... I would have preferred 2 different six packs, but this was on sale for the day, so whatever. I like the stuff. It's pretty damn good. But it's a lot. I'm gonna need to share with some people.

    so did mine. lasted about 5 years I think, but I always had it on and almost always running a dvd. It fought hard at the end.

    Yeah, and the ones doing the protesting are not necessarily representative of the population. Sure, Margo St. James got into prostitution willingly and with a good understanding of what she got into, but it's a little like a fashion designer in Paris campaigning for "seamstress's rights" against people who want to keep sweatshops illegal.
