Some Food For Thought . . .
Wednesday, February 04, 2004

"We've created a strange standard in this country. As consenting adults we can have sex because we're horny, because we're lonely, because we're unhappy, because someone buys us dinner, because we want to hook a spouse, because we want to coerce someone into giving us a job, because we want to get revenge - for a million reasons except one: money. We're not allowed to make a mature and perhaps quite responsible decision to sell our sexuality - though we are freely allowed as adults to whore ourselves in any number of other ways. We are also allowed to make decisions about actions that are as morally charged as prostitution, but that are completely without controversy or legal baggage. Right now, for example, I can go on the Internet, find a willing woman in some economically deprived county, and pay her to be my wife. I can't pay for something as inconsequential as safe, recreational sex between two consenting adults, but I can take the tremendously consequential step of paying someone to be my life partner, which has huge sexual and intimacy ramifications, without a single thought. Now that's a strange morality, and an even stranger way to run a country."
