You can't stick an a fantastic maybe-Latina ass on top of a post and expect me to ever notice that there are WORDS underneath it. I'm not transcendent enough. I shall try and be more virtuous. But seriously ;) Violet, you can’t do things like that. You can’t stick an a fantastic maybe-Latina ass on top of a post and expect me to ever notice that there are WORDS underneath it. I’m not transcendent enough.

I shall try and be more virtuous. But seriously ;)

Sounds like a nice idea, until you read articles about the terribly abusive regulatory agencies like this one; http://www.nashvillescene.com/Stories/Cover_Story/2008/05/29/Gettin_Jacked/ Or this one; http://www.libertyguys.org/home/detail.asp?ArtID=1546 This is simply a trap, a terrible trap that will, if enacted metastasize into an overarching regulatory apparatus with exactly two goals; eliminating all but a few big players, and maximizing revenue to the state. Since cartellized industries control retail pricing, the remaining players will simply pass the tax through to consumers. The money raised will not be used to the benefit of the 'poor women used up by the industry', but will instead go straight into the general fund. And so goes the Circle of Life, in Sacramento, DC, or wherever politicians and cynical businessmen meet to steal our wealth and destroy our freedom. I think there's an appropriate rejoinder for the gentleman's proposal, I am too polite to post it here.
