>>We’re talking about children. I am also amazed whenever someone on FR supports child prostitution and kiddie porn as “free market”.

As Jerry Pournelle likes to say, unrestrained free markets eventually lead to human flesh on sale at the supermarket. And he’s a fan of free markets.

There needs to be a system of morality involved.

There is a system of morality, it’s just different with different people. Should the entire world be held to one standard? If so, who gets to determine what that standard is?

Adam Smith (some of you may recognize his name) was adamant that capitalism without a moral framework was bankrupt from the start. Likewise our Founding Father John Adams was clear that the Constitution they gave us was fit only for an educated and moral public, and no one else.

The topic of this thread is the degeneration of civil society, not sex or easy money or kiddie porn.
