Abuse? How about Walmart's discrimination against women's pay and management advances. Now that is real abuse in a legal workplace. I bet they have
accidents in the workplace too.
I doubt walmart has a bunch of accidents that end up giving people communicable and deadly disease that then get spread to more and more people
increasing the death and devistaton.
Really? Do you see cashiers wearing sanitation gloves? How many people handle the products before they get to the checkout stand? Kids love to play
with those moving belts - getting their grubby hands and germs all over them.
Sorry - but statistics are on my side. This is just one article of many.
Legalized Prostitution - Regulating the Oldest Profession - by Mark Liberator
Given the three broad categories above (Crime, Healthcare, Social conditions), the countries having legal prostitution enjoy many benefits the United
States does not. Crime is higher within the U.S., despite severe laws, intense prosecution rates and a high number of imprisonments. People infected
with HIV/AIDS are higher, as is the number of HIV/AIDS deaths in the U.S. Even suicide rates and divorce rates are disproportionately high in the
U.S., too.
Upon a close examination of the Netherlands reveals interesting findings. Amsterdam is the capitol of the Netherlands and is internationally known for
its redlight district. Critics to prostitution might be stunned to learn that the Netherlands has the least number of murders and rapes. It prosecutes
a considerable amount of criminals but has a low number of prisoners. It does not suffer from an HIV/AIDS epidemic, like the U.S. and the U.K., and
has the second lowest suicide rate listed. This news will literally stop critics (who are open to reason) in their tracks when they are confronted
with such information.

This really belongs in the Feminist thread - - so done - moving back to topic.

Who's to Blame for Maine's Marriage Failure?
After yesterday's voter-approved rape of our marriage rights in Maine, the obvious question to ask is: How'd this happen? And next: Who can we
blame? It's a natural instinct. Surely there must be someone or something out there to direct our anger, our frustration, our disgust. It's the same
thing that happened exactly one year ago in California, when Prop 8 took away the M-word from gays and lesbians. Fingers started pointing, and not in
very nice places. Race and religion were blamed. So, too, was the "No On 8" campaign, accused of misguided direction and ineffective outreach. Now
here we are in Maine, wondering aloud, . . .
