"The government had considered making brothels an exception on moral grounds, but decided that it would be too difficult to distinguish them from bars."

Jesus motherfucking christ on a stick!

How is it that they can't tell the difference between selling beer, and sex for hire? Gah!

I think unixronin's got the right question: can they force men to become policemen or firemen or other high risk work?
