How are all these crimes connected?


How many of us grew up with Sesame Street? Remember the song "One of these things is not like the others?"

Well, we used to teach each other and our children about how to discern which things were connected/alike and which weren't.

However, today we cultivate blindness to these things.

Few Americans (etc.) are willing to see all the tentacles of the problems laid out in the film.

So here are some questions - what are the roles of these things in the issue of child prostitution (in no particular order):

1. Porn
2. The breakup of the family and marriage
3. Abortion
4. Homosexuality
5. Public Education
6. The Internet
7. The age of consent
8. Feminism
9. Prostitution

etc. etc.

This issue is connected to every other major issue of our age and all of history. However, we Americans cannot bear to see the truth because we can't bear to give up the things we'd have to give up. We are trapped by our pleasures - sort of like Brave New Word taken to its logical conclusion.

What hump?
