      Unless Skye winds up selling them for more than they cost her; maybe then the concept of capitalism will dawn on her.

      Well, yes, whores are capitalists. Heinlein said it best;

      A whore should be judged by the same criteria as other, professionals offering services for pay–such as dentists, lawyers, hairdressers, physicians, plumbers, etc. Is she professionally competent? Does she give good measure? Is she honest with her clients? It is possible that the percentage of honest and competent whores is higher than that of plumbers and much higher than that of lawyers. And enormously higher than that of professors.

      -RAH, “The Notebooks of Lazarus Long” in Time Enough For Love

      Legalize it. License it. Make sure the practitioners get regular health checks.

      Removes the pimps and mob types from the equation, as much as is possible in any field of business.

      Also makes it easier to protect the workers from serial killers.

      Problem solved.

      (And having a LEO background, I don’t say this lightly.)

      eon

      • September 16, 2016 at 11:14 pm

        Don’t know that RAH ever said it explicitly but he would agree that as I said above, all whores are capitalists and all capitalists are whores. And as an avowed capitalist, I don’t say THAT lightly, but it’s just a matter of intent and context.

        In fact much of what is abhorred (heh) as criminal behavior is nothing of the kind.

        Use Heinlein’s rational logic above as a template applied to drug use for one glaring example, and every one of his lines and all of his reasoning applies.

        And yes most involved with LE would find that too difficult to accept. That is because the very name of their job is Law Enforcement; the laws exist and they are sworn to uphold them. It’s not the enforcers but the laws themselves that are illogical and wrong. Change the laws and eliminate the difficulty officers have in acknowledging that logic.

        Another problem solved.

      • September 17, 2016 at 1:13 am
        eon

        Legalize all the drugs you like, but you’ll never get rid of the illegal drug trade.

        As fast as you legalize “substances”, the dealers will find some new “substance” to flog to keep getting their 10,000% markup. (See; meth, bath salts, etc.)

        And there will always be a clientele’ for it. The rich, hip, trendy types. As soon as pot was legalized in The Only Places That Matter, The Only People Who Matter lost interest in it.

        Because they can’t maintain their carefully constructed self-image of being Dangerous, Romantic Rebels Struggling Valiantly Against A Corrupt, Oppressive Society (which they largely run, actually) if they’re getting high on a legal drug.

        They need the rush of doing something illegal, to flaunt their avant-garde hatred of society’s mores. Never mind that “society” is divided into the elite’, most of whom think like that, and everyone else, who mainly wish the “enlightened ones” would STFU and tend to their own knitting instead of trying to make everybody else Shut Up And Sing from their hymnal.

        Add in the number of people who will be engaged in crime simply because they get off on it and have no interest in anything resembling honest employment, and no matter what you “legalize” or “decriminalize”, they will always find another law to break. To thumb their noses at Society as a whole, if nothing else.

        You can change the laws all you like. Changing human nature is a lot tougher, and I’d daresay pretty much a non-starter.

        Old Codger

        Eon,
        Kindly show me where Article 1, Section empowers Congress to legislate what substances an adult may or may not introduce into their tender bodies by whatever means they see fit. To paraphrase Jefferson, whatever substance(s) my neighbor uses/abuses neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. If while impaired they perform some act which DOES result in fiscal or monetary harm, THAT action is what should be proscribed, not using/abusing one or more substances. Use alcohol as your model. We don’t proscribe consumption of alcohol (tried that once and it failed spectacularly) but we do proscribe certain activities while under the influence of alcohol. Look at the result of proscribing use of alcohol. The compliance rate was terrible and a criminal element arose to supply a commodity in great demand. I submit that proscribing the use of so many substances has yielded essentially the same result. I am convinced that ending the proscription on drugs will yield a result similar to repealing prohibition.

        If government gets out of the nanny business all together and stops trying to control how we live that alone will reduce its size. As for people getting out of crime because something is legalized, you’re right, crooks will be crooks. But reducing the number of proscribed acts to those which manifestly, demonstrably and QUANTIFIABLY result in fiscal or physical harm to another person than the actor, would greatly reduce the number of statutes on the books and simplify the task of Law Enforcement.

        I challenge you to study the history of Prohibition and show me why you believe that legalizing drug use for adults would not lead to substantially similar results.

        Well said, Eon.

      • September 17, 2016 at 10:51 am

        OC has it down on this one. Essentially all of the arguments eon made against are effectively refuted, and if one ascribes to the logic of RH on the one, it is disingenuous and irrational to deny it on the other.

        I do know where he is coming from though; I would submit that no one has seen the cause/effect continuum more closeup than me, even career leo’s. We can have the in-depth on that another time, but suffice for now to say that I disagree with every single one of the points of logical disconnect that eon presents in this instance, as some are transparently emotional and others are speculative projection. Those are components of the argument for denial of many rights and activities of free men; although certainly with different motivations, the logic and effect are the same.

        I work under the premise of do not trust or work with anyone that willingly takes a substance that alters their state of mind in order to transcend to euphoria, lethe or discovering the secrets of the universe. It turns out badly in the end with to high a price for the person and devastation for those surrounding them.

      • September 17, 2016 at 1:18 pm

        Right there with you Mz. Pam:

        “It turns out badly in the end with too high a price for the person and devastation for those surrounding them.”

        Truth. That applies equally to illegal and legal substances and has a lot to do with my choice not to do the booze thing much at all as it is one of the most lethal and damaging of all.

        The key to the discussion here is the role -if any- of .gov in making those choices for the individual. The attempt to illegalize booze backfired mightily, creating crime where there was none just as it has a hundredfold for other substances now. You’d think history would have taught that lesson to intelligent people, but apparently not so much.

        The assets and expenditures of LE and Corrections are roughly HALF wasted on this proven failure of gov control and has become a self-fulfilling prophecy of ancillary crime and societal effects, and therefore something of a job-security issue for many in the field. But even that is irrelevant to the basic issue of gov control and/or usurpation of personal rights and choice, and that is a very slippery slope indeed in a time when our other Constitutional rights are under attack in the guise of what is “good for the people”.

        And that does also call into question eon’s debate tactic of the red herring of the trendy elite, he knows virtually all here despise those scum and attaching them to drug use might gain some support. Some of what he says about them is true, I saw it happen to powder cocaine in the seventies when it went from high-brow to low-tone in its appeal. But again that is irrelevant to government control and is a bit of a disconnect when he cites their effect on the progression of drugs of choice; I have not seen “meth or bath salts” adopted by the cool kids, they are the refuge of the poor when control and law enforcement makes more traditional highs more expensive and more risky. Prescriptions for pharmacy grade substances are available for the price of a pill doctor appointment for folks with the dough, and they play a very minor role in street level narcotics and enforcement…how many of them are robbing c-stores and getting locked up at county?

        He is right about one thing, there will always be criminals and there will always be those who seek escape from the reality of their lives; a reality that has been affected for the worse by the same helpful gov that seeks to eliminate illicit drugs. But it is not about “changing laws” it is about eliminating them. And it is not about “changing human nature” it is about eliminating gov’s role in trying to control what is not controllable, for better or for worse.

        A lot of discussion here recently about various legal intoxicants, and many would separate that from the type under discussion here. But they are wrong. There is no difference other than gov having learned its lesson about alcohol, but not yet about the rest.

        Heinlein had it right. And having been an LEO myself, I couldn’t agree more. Most of the crime came from pimps and from getting the gals hooked on drugs. Tried to talk a free-lance sixteen year old out of it, several times, but she said she was having too much fun between the money/tips/”being treated as an adult”. I left San Diego before hearing – thank goodness – that she ever experienced the many negative possibilities that could have befallen her.

And actually, that is a damning admission, because what that really says is: If you believe Seidman’s argument; if you believe that we already ignore the Constitution anyway, then in fact, the government rules by sheer naked force, and nothing else. And if that’s what you believe, then all of this talk of revolution suddenly doesn’t seem so crazy, it seems almost mandatory.

    Yes, I think Skye is inadvertently on to something, even if she doesn’t realize it. All capitalists are “whores”, they sell their products for as much as the market will bear. But “bear” (hehehe) in mind, that most of those products are legal, and beneficial to society as a whole.

    Prostitutes, on the other hand (which hand? left? or right?) are a specific sub-species of whore, selling their bodies, which in most places (excepting a few locales in Nevada) is illegal.

    SO how do we get the concept of one, “whore”, which is crude but accurate as applies to the DDQ, and “prostitute”, which is more polite but inaccurate, across to both these fine looking ladies?
