True... we really don't recognize it (we really don't want to) but the conversion of citizens into criminals has really been complete for quite a while.
But, but ... It's for the children!
Sad. Isn't it?
Prostitution laws are similar. You are supposed to be able to hire a prostitute. Few people go to jail for hiring a woman. But prostitutes, the actual service providers, get harassed for a profession that is condoned. A huge number of people are in prison for drug offences. Its very expensive. I have known a couple. And frankly they weren't criminals. They one was in the top of his profession. He got three years for possession of marujana. He's a bartender now. And the Laws simply do not work. Year in and year out, interdiction and imprisonment fails but we go on supporting a system that is widely oppressive, productive of misery and is a waste of money.
