Many moons ago I befriended two young women who had been addicted to cocaine and turned to prostitution for the fix. I witnessed the hold their pimps had on them. Neither was allowed to leave the city even years after leaving the pimps and prostitution behind.

These lawmakers are acting like pimps treating their citizens and children like drug-addicted whores. And they don't want more rational parts of the country giving members of their stable a fix.

It's reprehensible.
