The United States needs to follow Sweden's example and criminalize the purchase of sex rather than jail the prostitutes; this would virtually end it and certainly diminish the need for sex trafficking.

When people quit believing prostitution is a "victimless crime" but is instead a human rights violation, that's when real reform can happen and the practice all but stopped.

Men who exploit others should have their names plastered all over the media and subject to shame and humilation.

The Nevada legislature thinks some "protections" for a tiny, tiny minority of frankly mentally ill people who are confused about identity are more important than legislation that would actually help many, many thousands of people such as banning discrimination against the longterm unemployed and banning credit checks for most job openings.

I guess the jobless are much less vocal than the "transgendered" community.

I have stated on this blog my position about "transgendered" people, and it goes against what most liberals or progressives believe. That's too bad, so sad, but just because one has cosmetic surgery to act out a fantasy doesn't mean one is the opposite sex. You are what you were born with. I am not referring to the very, very tiny number of people who are "intersexed" with physical defects, either, the only cases where "reassignment" surgery may be justified.
