Las Vegas, South East Asia or China: Who Has the Highest Rate of Prostitution?

OK Bloggers, The race is on. We need some research to fulfill the needs of our deviant liberal friends, which nation or group of nations, the US, South East Asia, or China has the highest documentable rate of prostitution? I will give you a clue, the US and China do not post real numbers or give you the actual scale of the problem. As we all know what a fat horn dog Ben Franklin was, I thought this quantification of prostitution rates might make him proud.

I am not sure how proud he would be to know that there is a hooker dance party community in his native Philadelphia.

At the same time, I want to make it very clear that I find this type of exploitation deplorable and want to find ways and have helped the Global Mission for Comprehensive Human Development find ways to create better paying jobs for people who were forced into this lurid business.

But one thing is clear according to the interviews we have conducted, independent Hookers (without a pimp) have more fun. Those with a pimp are as miserable as Solzhenitsyn under Stalin. The independent ones feel more free than other people who always follow the rules. It begs the question would a libertarian government where everyone feels more free actually decrease prostitution?

I believe I read once that the highest rate per capita is in Macau (where it is legal).

Dear Bowly,

Thank you. Now I know where to move if John McCain wins the presidency. Brian

Really? That's the way I feel about Obama. Not that I like any of them.

Nonetheless, I have decided to beat the rush and left the country three years ago. Well, three years tomorrow, to be precise.

Dear Bowly,

I am sorry you feel that way about Obama. I think if you look at the Rev. John Hagee's statements on behalf of McCain you will understand my apprehension. "Bring about Armeggedon..." Uh-ugh. Nope. That does not jive in political logic except in a theocracy. Brian

I'm sure you are aware that my dislike of Obama is in no way an endorsement of McCain.

I dislike Obama for a host of reasons, most recently for his "nuanced" position on NAFTA and trade related issues.

I doubt McCain will be issuing in a theocracy. Dubya couldn't (FMA failed, for example) and he had a GOP congress for much of his term. McCain seems less likely to want one, and will be facing a Democratic congress.

That last bit sums up why I (slightly) prefer McCain; I subscribe to the split government theory. But of course I could be off my rocker.

McCain's just trying to get conservatives to show up to vote at this point. It's about the same as lying to a bunch of autoworkers that you're going to repeal NAFTA, I suppose. Maybe I should give Obama a break.

Dear Bowly,

I encourage you to read my critique of of NAFTA and CAFTA issues by the Friends through Nobel Laureate Joe Stigliz. Through another nobel star John Nash's theory of development, I know how we can do trade much better.

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici
