PROSTITUTION The World’s Oldest Profession . . .
|

|
I read an article online the other day about prostitution and cracking down harder on organized crime, specifi cally drugs and prostitution, and it got me thinking. When it comes to prostitution, people generally think that the women . . . the prostitutes are the problem. THEY ARE NOT! They are the pawns. D*E*M*A*N*D gets a reaction ~ it brings forth a S*U*P*P*L*Y If you remove the demand for sex from prostitutes, then there won’t be a bunch of pimps (and human traffi ckers) beating and forcing woman into it. I mean, really and truly – tell me how it is that a woman, ANY WOMAN would CHOOSE to stand on the streets and get into a STRANGER’S car, or being sent to a hotel room with a person you DO NOT KNOW, over being safe at home or at a job where she won’t possibly be raped or beaten to death? If (or should I say, when) a prostitute gets arrested and then released in the morning – they are going back to the pimp to get beat and forced to work harder, because they actually had the NERVE TO GET ARRESTED!!! The pimp seriously feel as if their prostitute owes them the amount of money they DID NOT earn while behind bars. And of course, the police become part of the problem when |

The BLACK-SHEEP Commentaries YOU CANNOT REHABILITATE A PSYCHOPATH
|

|
In 1917, the Calgary Eye Opener’s irrepressible editor, Bob Edwards, claimed that “A good man who goes wrong is just a bad man who has been found out.” Edwards plain truth is not accepted by Canada’s penitentiary and parole system which, since the 1970s, has made rehabilitation of criminals its paramount objective – something akin to pounding a square peg into a round hole. While all that pounding was going on Professor Robert D. Hare, of the University of British Columbia, was painstakingly doing intensive research unravelling the mystery of psychopathy.
Hare’s conclusion: psychopaths are “completely lacking in conscience and in feelings for others, they selfi shly take what they want and do as they please, violating social norms and expectations without the slightest sense of guilt or regret.” Hare distilled his research and conclusions into plain language for the general public, and published Without Conscience – The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us.

The BLACK-SHEEP Commentaries PAROLE’S HISTORY IS ENDLESS
EXPERIMENTATION
PAROLE enthusiasts say that early release from prison of convicted criminals is essential to their rehabilitation. Canadians have endured this experiment in rehabilitation for over a century knowing that parole doesn’t “cure” the criminal mind or curtail recidivism. Here’s a thumbnail sketch of the history of parole and remission of penitentiary sentences. In 1899, parliament enacted the Ticket of Leave Act, beginning Canada’s experiment with parole as a means to rehabilitate convicts. Parole is not to be confused with earned remission of 6 days for each month of good behaviour established under Canada’s Penitentiary Act of 1868. Earned remission is an entitlement; parole is discretionary.

Changes to a Body after Death
By Kathy Steck-Flynn
There are a number of changes to a person’s body which occur after death. These changes may be chemical or physiological. As well, post-mortem trauma may be caused by insect or animal scavenging. It is still common to see investigators on fictional television shows recording the temperature of the body. They then typically comment on the length of time the person has been dead. The condition they are recording is known as Algor Mortis. The temperature of the body is recorded by investigators. How ever it is considered a very unreliable way of determining the time since death. The time since death is also known as the PMI or post mortem interval.

FOUR PILLARS OF PROPAGANDA AND A TOOTHPICK
VANCOUVER is a beautiful and vibrant city, so full of promise, yet so fl awed by illicit drugs. More than any city in Canada, Vancouver is burdened with an intolerable number of addicts and traffickers festering about in Skid Road – a de facto decriminalised zone equipped with an enabling supervised injection site. Vancouver’s drug policy is indifferent to the truth that every addict who passes through the revolving door of its shooting gallery with newly purchased illicit drugs in hand has just previously committed a criminal act to get enough money to pay for the drugs; usually theft, breaking and entering or purse snatching.

Road Rage
Nothing could be better than a little recognition for something you’re truly talented at. To ease the pain, I’ve created my own award for some truly special people out there. Sit back, relax, and enjoy my picks for the Annual Super Incredible Driver Award. 1. Drivers of big trucks speeding. When I see people doing this – usually men in company trucks – I recognize instantly how important they must be. They’re driving a big, brand new truck; their truck has an incredible amount of power; they pass every vehicle in sight. These drivers must truly be above the law. I rarely see them get pulled over, and the only time I ever see one of these trucks in the ditch is during bad weather. Where are they off to in such a hurry? Must be somewhere incredibly important – and manly.
