Plying a Seamy Trade

An early December Associated Press story out of Atlantic City caught my eye. "Prostitutes arm selves as body count rises," read the headline...

I scanned the whole story, interested to find out how easy it's proving for the East Coast ladies of the evening to arm themselves for their own defense. Way down in the ninth paragraph, I read of "Christine, 37, who works out of a cheap motel on Pacific Avenue near the entrance to several casinos," who "bought a canister of pepper spray after the bodies were found in the ditch."

That's it? A can of pepper spray?
Yes, that's it. And the sadistic bondage and discipline/dominance perverts who run the government and enforce its freaky edicts wouldn't have it any other way.

Vin Suprynowicz is one of our most articulate and clear thinking liberty writers. Anyone who does not regularly read his columns is cheating themselves.

Everybody here has read his last book, right?

Very astute observation....
