Better than any church service I've ever been to. Better speeches from the triumphant and now-proud ladies than I've ever heard from any politician. More honesty about the human condition than I've seen in any policy analysis or news report. The Legislature is foolish to not be investing in this approach (And I say 'not be' because most diversion programs are funding by outside grant sources -- not the regular appropriations of the county or the state.)Susan Haysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-39558274957783750352012-12-22T08:31:31.010-06:002012-12-22T08:31:31.010-06:00From "The Hill" 12/21/12

Unfortunately and sadly our society is perfectly OK with a culture that believes women exist solely to be "bitches" that are supposed to go make their "pimp" money or get beat up. If you don't believe this take a look at the lyrics of numerous chart topping hip-hop songs that made record sales proliferating such beliefs over the last 10 years. If that doesn't convince you, take a look at all the human trafficking from Mexico and other Countries and the scum here on stateside that will readily pay to have sex with such victims.<br /><br />Ironically our president who is in the best position to stand against such decay continues to be silent and look the other way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-81536030329180648472012-12-21T07:26:34.671-06:002012-12-21T07:26:34.671-06:00It's not just the gang bangers.

The bangers just take advantage of this and do everything they can to finish destroying these girls. They have no respect for females and will attack the little girls who live in the hood and who want to join their gang (the most powerful institution in the hood).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-34776221346879427792012-12-20T22:17:10.102-06:002012-12-20T22:17:10.102-06:00Scott,

Prostitutes are contributing members of society, especially for this single guy who knows so many single breeding females sitting home getting EITC, child tax credit, housing allowance, medicaid, etc, ad nauseam.<br /><br />Half my local tax dollars go to the support kiddies and the wreckage of marriages. What's antisocial is all the marriage and breeding, not prostitution. I never pay a cent to support a prostitute unless she's doing something positive for me. Of course, to the extent she gets breeders' welfare (since she can't report income) she is also a drain on society.<br /><br />Fortunately, the gummints of other countries, like Canada, Germany and Brazil realize the contribution prostitutes make to society.jimbinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684677214800358793noreply@blogger.com
