My solution? Privately funded shelters (both secular and church).....far more of them.....providing protection and training until they can get out on their own. And information. Growing understanding of the depth of this problem for young kids, so that concerned decent people can volunteer to do something to solve this deep, ugly problem.

Cool. I approve. Go do it. And this means that the federal government doesn't need to be involved and Rick can shift to talking about what he will do to improve the economy, improve domestic energy supplies, and improve national security. Carry on.

Actually, our daughter is volunteering for a private anti-trafficking organization, and we're helping support her, and plan to do more. Many more people are becoming aware of the horrific aspects of abuse as it relates to pornography and prostitution.

Thanks for giving me an opportunity to inform the ignorant about the seriousness of the issue of sexual violence and its relationship with porn.

Oh....and I gotta say in closing, I hope your wife (since you brought her up), requires exclusivity in the ogling department. Otherwise, methinks your marriage is in trouble....

See you around. :)

I approve. Go do it.

And I want to add that when I said that, I meant it without sarcasm. I think the Salvation Army, for example, does a much more efficient job at dealing with people with issues than government agencies do (in terms of results per dollar spent).
