Oregon just passed a law to make it legal for citizens convicted of misdemeanors in prostitution to teach in the state...
Why in the world would Oregon pass a law like this? Why would it matter? Are they really that desperate for teachers? Do they have a huge problem with this? It just seems so... I dunno... arbitrary.

I think it's just another step in this country's moral meltdown. It makes me want to find someone for the missionaries to teach, just so that we can work against the tide of immorality.

On the radio as I was headed home last friday a "conservative" radio fellow was arguing that the state should legalize and then regulate prostitution. This is a very libertarian opinion, truth be told, with the possible exception of creating government regulation. His main argument was that it would cut down on disease. He claimed that while he didn't intend to partake of such services, that the government had no business enforcing it.
I found the whole discussion sickening.

So called victimless crimes such as prostitution, drugs, gambling etc. coarsen our society. We have an Indian Casino nearby. The amount of money going into that place is sickening. They are building like crazy. The surrounding community looks like a slum in many places. Where does the money come from? From people who should be spending it on their children's well being.
It would be Okay if it was a disease free brothel wouldn't it? I know you are joking Ray but that sort of thing goes on here. They busted a group out at the Indian Casino running the darn thing out of a Rider Truck.
