My First Retrospective
Looking back at previous posts, I submit this mind-bogglingly depressing story about a child prostitute in NY. It contains at least two reasons why criminalizing prostitution isn't helping:
1. This 13-year-old girl is a criminal.
2. It gives her pimp more ways to have control over her since:
a) she's committing a crime, and
b) she can't very well seek protection from the law.
Additionally, I've decided that my post on affirmative action is by a fair margin the least coherent and least well-thought-out thing on my blog to date. I still think all the things I said there, but I don't feel they are laid out as well as the rest of my stuff so far. Mental note: next time Terry gives me a topic, take a bit to gather my thoughts before rushing out to post.
