Why are sex workers forced to wear a financial scarlet letter?
There's a libertarian ethos that says anything between two consenting adults is the their business.  I'm more and more skeptical not just of that principle but the self awareness of the people who purport to support it.<p>I know that the choices I think are correct may not be - either for myself, for everyone or for any particular person.  For that reason I don't think that anyone should run my life or that I should be trying to run other people's; excepting crossing the bright line of consent.<p>I'm beginning to wonder though if there isn't some space short of stopping a person from doing something - even if just to stand up and say - "What you're doing is crazy.  Why would you do that to yourself?  Why would you let someone do that to you?  Why would you do that to another person?"<p>If you talk to people who would ask those questions though the issue is that anyone who's willing to say something is also unable to accept that that's all they can do.  They'll push whatever isn't right for them to the other side of the bright line.
