Younger And Younger
Kevin McGehee points out the disturbing trend of increasing teen and even pre-teen prostitution in the U.S.
I think it should be legalized, but not for non-adults. Like drugs, the fact that it remains illegal, and thus outside of state control, makes it much more difficult to stop children from doing it. I’d be curious to know how much of this occurs in, say, Reno, relative to other cities of similar size and demography…
Prescience
Jim Davis over at sci.space.policy points out an article with an interesting example of how smart markets can be. They figured out which company was responsible for the Challenger disaster within minutes of the event, and long before the Rogers Commission was even convened, let alone issued its report six months later.
As the news broke, the authors write, the stock prices of all four companies fell anywhere from 2.83 percent to 6.12 percent in the 21 minutes after the crash. But trading was halted only on the stock of Morton Thiokol. “The fact that market liquidity was available to maintain a market in Lockheed, Martin Marietta, and Rockwell while the market for Morton Thiokol dried up suggests that the stock market discerned the guilty party within minutes of the announcement of the crash,” Maloney and Mulherin conclude. By the end of the day?when the cause of the accident was still a mystery?Morton Thiokol was down 11.86 percent, while the other three contractors lost 2 percent to 3 percent.

There’s some hilarious photoshopping in this related Free Republic thread. James Carville is involved. Also note the one about Davis’ people already starting to dig up dirt on him (the candidate, that is, not Carville–they already have all the dirt on him…)
Still Missing In Action
Next Sunday will be exactly one year since Jeff Goldstein last posted on the Protein Wisdom blog. It remains an enduring mystery.
They Still Don’t Get The Story Straight
It’s been twenty five years now, and the AP has a story of the anniversary of the Love Canal debacle. It was the event that created the insane Superfund for environmental cleanup, most of the money for which is siphoned off into lawyer’s wallets.
And of course, what the AP doesn’t mention is that it wasn’t Hooker Chemical’s fault–they just ended up being the fall guy for stupid bureaucrats.
