Serially Bed Women Research Paper
The oldest profession is perhaps the oldest crime. Yet were it not for money changing hands, servicing sex would be simple promiscuity. And as promiscuity is scarcely worse than yucky, most people, many of whom sleep around themselves, think little of it, at least with respect to their own conduct. But add dimes and nickles, and people (and, as we shall see, often pitiful patrons) are said to be criminals. As justice has it, the dope who uses dirty tricks to serially bed women remains a law-abiding citizen.
Why? People are hypocrites. They object to indiscriminate mating when it comes to women but not men. They are hasty to impose private morals. And equally problematic, they treat the law as a magic wand, as if poofs away any undesired practice. But the law, instead, alters behavior, often in ways not matching decree. This time-honored principle is apparently elusive, for the public fingerprints its buffoonery in legal code time and again. Sadly, this is more than ineffectual; too often, it is inhumane. Such is the case in the War on Prostitutes, which pushes an enterprise underground, nourishes human trafficking, ruins otherwise good citizens, wastes government personnel, foregoes tax revenue, demeans independent women, and endangers sex workers.

But reason tempers my desire for tiny revenge, as cigarettes would still be sold and still be smoked. Whereas now some smokers simply puff in my face, if an officer were to walk by, they might instead slip a lit cigarette into a purse or a coat pocket. Here we have gone from a small irritant to a fire hazard, and we all are worse
