And don't forget the claim that rail is better because there's no security checks:
“This could allow you to go places in half the time it takes to travel by car. For some trips, it will be faster than flying — without the pat-down.”
Hmmm... Gosh... I wonder who decided to have such time-wasting pat-downs at airports? It must be a requirement of the laws of physics in order for lift to occur. I think even the Wright brothers had to pat each other down before they could take off. In fact, it's why it took mankind so long to finally design a functional airplane. Science is hard.
The Rhode Island prostitution study is going to be a big problem. The standard line is that rape is a crime of violence, not sex. So rape rates shouldn't be affected by the availability of sex.
Though, of course, this isn't absolute, I've also seen those suggesting porn causes higher rape rates (which goes against the violence argument).
The other prostitution article shows today's anti-trafficking assumptions -- all prostitutes are victims (though "recovered" probably means arrested). It's likely most of the prostitutes, especially if they were using backpage.com and the like, were independent adults without a pimp or being otherwise force. But they're still victims.
And the assumption of high juvenile prostitution (though it was only 13 of 111) along with not defining "juvenile" (under 18? under 21? under age of consent?). The standard pimp stereotype was also broken with the mother of the 15 year old.
I do disagree with the "make buying sex illegal but not selling it" approach. Much better to decriminalize prostitution.
