The Dobbs Wire: Cyber vice squads and neo-Puritans

The latest issue of Reason Magazine has much about sex!   Pleasure, alas, has a price.  As Katherine Mangu-Ward explains, “the legal risk of many common sexual choices is skyrocketing.”  Several essays exploring that theme are now available online.  Cyber vice squads and neo-Puritans run amok, see below.  –Bill Dobbs, The Dobbs Wire

With sweeping trafficking stings, the FBI returns to its roots as the nation’s vice squad.  Elizabeth Nolan Brown’s wide-ranging investigation into Operation Cross Country, a series of ongoing stings that purport to be searching out evil men who traffic children into sexual slavery but in fact amount to a war on people engaging in consensual commercial sex.

    Laws should NEVER be based on emotion or public opinion but instead empirical evidence. I think many people trust that is a law is created then the legislators must know something that creates the need. Just the opposite is true…

    CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT against the United States Government by Registrants is MUCH overdo, and much needed. Too many low-intelligence politicians with interests of their self-image who are in power making asinine laws which make absolutely no sense to humanity or public safety or a better society. It’s TIME for a change.
