Canada has absurd prostitution laws. Prostitution is legal, but if a prostitute tries to assess the danger of a potential client before hopping into his vehicle, she breaks the law. If she tries to protect herself with an alarm system or shared premises with other prostitutes or a bodyguard she breaks the law. If she pays a driver to watch out for her, she breaks the law. If she even spends some of the money she makes on raising her children, she breaks the law.

An early version of this article appeared in Java Developers’ Journal (volume 2 issue 6). I also spoke on this topic in 1997-11 at the Colorado Summit Conference. It has been gradually growing ever since. I have had quite a few requests for permission to build links here. You are welcome to create links, but please don’t repost the essay since the original changes frequently.

If you enjoyed this essay you might enjoy other parts of the website. Have a look at my home page or the Java Glossary which is a central place to find out everything you ever wanted to know about Java or perhaps my Gay & Black Glossary.

You might also enjoy the famous essays Worse Is Better and The Rise of Worse Is Better on doing the right thing.
