I think that the lack of comments on this thread is probably because the only sensible reaction to this is, “Well, duh”.

This important thread doesn’t have nearly enough comments, so…

Tell me, Radley, do you think Mary Ruwart would want to legalize child prostitution? How would Bob Barr’s answer to that same question make him the ideal Libertarian party presidential candidate? And who was responsible for that whole 9/11 mess anyway?

Answer me if you dare, you orange-line-riding, beltway-encirdled, neocryptocon cosmolibertarian would-be destroyer of the Libertarian party!

As a proud libertarian wacko nut job, I think laws prohibiting prostitution are nothing less than the institutional persecution of people who believe they own their own bodies. This is very much a case of government tyranny over the most personal and intimate of human activities. I have no respect for the despicable moralistic control-freaks who enact or support these laws.

Congratulations to New Zealand. I’m glad there are countries out there that aren’t so paralyzed by religious irrationality that they can actually move civilization out of the ignorant misery of the Dark Ages into a future where sex is finally recognized as a pleasurable activity instead of something to be fearful and ashamed of..
