Going further, what about the explosive growth of pornography ? In a world of deindustrialization triggered socioeconomic meltdown for former low-semi skilled workers, their female flesh is cheap (but since working class women tend to look like potatoes when they are 30 they have to make the very most of a brief period of beauty). Is it an accident that the center of porn production in the US is the San Fernando Valley ? Where immigration and low wage economics have made flesh cheap ?

I agree with the rise in pornography, prostitution and other sex trades. I have seen such in many third world nations. Just think without doing something to fix it we can look forward to an America when seeing Young boys on the street saying "Hey mister you want my to buy my sister?" will be commonplace. I do not find that a pleasent prospect thus my remdiation plan.

It's sad to see that but as many pointed out, we are headed that way. The first step was that a lot of the "do jobs" disappeared like factories and all. I've seen it here in Pittsburgh. First, you need the "do jobs" for entry level people out there who need a start in life and they work their way up to better "do jobs" or even "think jobs" as they become a manager or something. Not everyone is cut out for a "think job" but there are some who made the transition from "do to think jobs." Now we are seeing our "think jobs" disappearing too so in addition to idle blue collar hands, you see idle white collar hands and this does not bode well.

This is the world that a lot of free-trade is creating for us. If this is uber-capitalism, I don't want no part of it. Yes, capitalism is great but without morals or ethics, it is just as inhuman as socialism/communism, all it boils down to is which thugs are calling the shots.

It also makes people feel worthless, i.e., taking jobs in the "vice sector," or from being out of work for so long, it hurts their self worth.
