After 30 years and a 32-page rap sheet, it seems to me like she didn’t escape the sex trade, she retired from it.

I am all for anyone who has been forced against their will to participate in the sex trade to be able to seek relief, but there doesn’t seem to be anything at all preventative about this law.

This is interesting. I wonder what the EEOC say about the FAA revoking the licenses of Airline Transport Pilots for incurring DUIs? Would they think that being in a treatment program is sufficient to regain control of a 747?

Check out the article in the National Law Journal suggesting that to be an elite law school, you have to have professors who have PHDs in econ! Even if they don’t have J.D.s!! This is kind of consistent with your book, isn’t it?
