Craigslist.com: From Erotic to Adult

     Craigslist.com has announced they will be ending their erotic services section and will replace it with...an adult services section?  It doesn't seem like much of a change to me, just different names for the same thing.  Although, the new section will be reviewed by employees and will require a $10 credit card payment to create a paper trail. 

     This is all in response to the "Craig's List Killer," who alleged to be Phillip Markoff, a 23 year old medical school student.  Craig's List received a lot of criticism, since that is where Markoff found his victims.  It's rather foolish if you think about it.  If Craig's List didn't exist, the killer would have found his victims some other way.  Think about it: There were murders before Craig's List!

     What this really comes down to is killing two birds with one stone.  Politicians get to grandstand on a high profile case to make it look like they are doing something, while also helping to control all that "immoral" activity on the internet.  After all, they know what's right for us.
