- The headline in the August 3 Rhode Island Providence
Journal, "Academics urge R.I. to keep indoor prostitution legal,"
took me down memory lane. It was 1977, and I arrived in Swansea University
in Wales to speak at the British Psychological Association conference on
Love and Attraction. There I stumbled upon a nascent political movement
that became what can be called "The Academic Pedophiles and Perverts
Party" (APPP).
-
- The Providence Journal reported that 50 "professors"
wrote to their lawmakers, "imploring them not to ban indoor"
brothels. The Rhode Island prostitution traffic got support from "professors.from
across the country and around the world" are lobbying for Rhode Island
to maintain its "sensible" policy, enacted in 1976, which makes
indoor prostitution legal.
-
- Why? Well the smart folks explain that girls and women
being prostituted in brothels are less often "assaulted, raped, or
robbed" and infected less with multiple STDs than are streetwalkers
who have to solicit before they go into rooms "indoors."
-
- Moreover, our "professors" think girls are
older before they join brothels and have "more education." It
is unclear to me why Tillie in Room 5 is better off having control of advanced
calculus than Sally in Room 3 when both obey the paying poo-bah (or professor)
and smile while being sexually enslaved.
-
- There is also no proof for the "professors"
claim that marketing one's orifices in a brothel limits drug addiction
and draws prostitutes from homes absent "childhood abuse."
-
- The Journal quotes George Washington University Prof.
Ronald Weitzer. He is sure "many" prostituted women and girls
experience "moderate-to-high job satisfaction and think they provide
a valuable service." Which could be paraphrased from a Margaret Mitchell
dialogue between an ante-bellum plantation owner and his over-seer.
-
- "Educators from such institutions as New York University,
the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and Victoria University
in New Zealand" signed the professor letter. You know, especially
in an economic downturn, brothel keepers have so many openings!
-
- Jenny Meyen, a Rhode Island resident, testified to the
Middletown town council seeking support for Rep. Joanne Giannini's prostitution
bill in the House. Meyen said the Senate prostitution bill decriminalizes
pimping and makes the penalty for prostitution the equivalent of a traffic
ticket.
-
- "I'm here today because I'm a mother of 3 children.If
the State Senate does not support the Giannini Bill.if the senate passes
what they call a bill, NOTHING will prevent that pimp from soliciting our
children."
-
- Chris Hedges, a Pulitzer prize-winning reporter and Senior
Fellow at the Nation Institute recently wrote about "Gonzo Porn"
and internet free pornography with users "between the ages of 12 and
17," young women and "mid-teens to the mid-twenties and up."
We know the thinking, rational brain does not even mature until roughly
age 21. These professors would thus encourage seduction of immature children
seeking "moderate-to-high job satisfaction" into brothels where
they provide "a valuable service."
-
- Rhode Island is now the only state -- apart from some
Nevada counties -- with legal brothels. Who are Rhode Island's senators
serving, when they consistently support brothel profits over public safety?
Every pervert in the U.S. should be heading for Rhode Island, the state
that traffics in brothel tourism.
-
- Winding back to 1977, when the Swansea university staff
threatened to strike when they heard that pedophile activist Tom O'Carroll
was to call for legalized sex with children from their college podium,
Tufts University professor Larry Constantine, a Penthouse board member,
(some "professors" moonlight for pornographers) was furious at
the workers. He circulated a "free speech" petition saying the
pedophile must speak and the staff must work.
-
- Almost all of the 96 international academicians at the
conference signed the "free speech" petition. My charge is that
as guests we had no right to leave behind a community undone by giving
place to a proselytizing child molester.
-
- Ten years later, in 1987, the Wales academic pedophiles
launched their magazine, Paidika: The Journal of Paedophilia campaigning
for "a peadophile consciousness" and an end to the age of consent,
worldwide
-
- There apparently is a real-but-closeted Academic Pedophiles
and Perverts Party. Letters like the one cited by the Rhode Island Providence
Journal, signed by 50 "professors," brings me back to the September
1977 Wales pedophile and to wondering, again, if there is any way to bring
reality to academia.
