Sad news this morning (here and here) that a lady involved in the “high end” prostitution business killed herself because of government prosecution — she knew her life was over since she would be in prison for the best years of her remaining life (from her perspective). Her mother found the “D.C. Madam” hanged in the shed — with a note announcing her intention. Shows what needless government regulation of a peaceful consensual business leads to. Sad it had to end this way — regardless of what one’s personal moral convictions are on this issue.
