Anti-Prostitution Bill Passes House Judiciary Committee
If I heard the roll properly on Capitol TV, Segal, Ajello and Driver were the only votes against.
What schadenfreude the authoritarian moralists must be feeling right now at the expense of these women and their male customers. This compulsive need to terrorize and rule over the lives of peaceful individuals is surely the darkest side of humanity.

Heroes for individual liberty, all of them.
