This is what the Drug War does
When you send drug dealers to jail, you increase the upward mobility potential for anyone willing to enter this profession at the lower levels. So it's no surprise that women are finding this profession attractive.
We keep the prices of illegal drugs high, we keep them tax free, and we make sure the business can't be regulated in any way.
And we do it all with our own tax money.
Tax free revenue, no labor or environmental regulations to get in the way, and the prices are kept artifically high by an external party.
It's like paradise for people want to get rich quick and are addicted to risk.

Imus Part 693
Didn't I just read that the majority of americans feel that Imus got a raw deal ? Just saying

The Economist
I find it interesting that you'd link to that Economist article simply because the word "Women" appears in the headline.
I have a feeling you wouldn't be quite so interested in linking to their other items which pooh-pooh affirmative action, champion the cutting-back of social programs for the poor, endorsement of free-trade/IMF policies which devastate Third World countries, etc.
But hey, if one article superficially agrees with your belief that full-time moms are stupid twits who are letting-down the sisterhood, go ahead and link to it.

You're Right, Anonymous
Every poll I have seen shows a clear majority feels he got burned, because he did.

Right, Rob, Anon,
Don Imus got shafted for calling women whores. How sad. Maybe we should call Don Imus, and Rob and Anon raping molesters. Yeah, so it isn't true, who cares? Free speech and you know what I meant and all that. Could even do it on the air and repeat it 10,000 times in the MSM, if we just change the spelling like they changed whores to hos.
How about reighpin molestas? A little shk-a boom and some rhyming lyrics, we can call it music and it'll be okay to call you that.
Before you decide that its unfair to come down on Imus, decide whether you want someone to call your mother what he called the Rutgers students. If not, he doesn't need to be on the air.

So now the glass ceiling
Is the glass coffeetable from which blow piles of coke.

And in further "ho" news...
Bob Herbert reports in his column today as follows:
Just days after Don Imus was taken off the air for a slur hurled at members of the Rutgers women’s basketball team, a police sergeant conducting a roll call at a precinct in Brooklyn is reported to have called the three female officers in the room “hos” as he gave them an order to stand up.
The women, two of whom are black and one a Latina, refused to stand.
Another officer, unable to resist the great “fun” of mocking his female colleagues, is reported to have called out, “No, sergeant, not just hos, but nappy-headed hos.”
The rest is behind the Times Select wall, but you get the gist.
