A Modern Day Tragedy

Being a successful man, and being in a high position, and being in the public light means that you must always keep your dick in your pants, right? 

So what's the issue here? 

We know that with great power comes great responsibility? That's an old proverb and a truism. 

Seems like there's a common thread here, a modern day tragedy is all about how the high and mighty fall because they can't control their libido. It could also be said that the high and mighty have no sense of decorum, morality, ethics, family values, no sense of responsibility, no sense of accountability for their actions.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn has resigned as managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), days after he was charged with the alleged sexual assault and attempted rape of a maid at a New York hotel.

Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi had sex with a significant number of prostitutes, Milan prosecutors alleged Monday in documents seeking authorization to search some of his properties.

The prosecutors are leading a probe aimed at determining if the 74-year-old media mogul paid for sex with a 17-year-old Moroccan girl nicknamed Ruby who attended parties at one of his villas last year. Prostitution isn't a crime in Italy, but exploiting or aiding prostitution with minors is.

Social workers and sex workers

Image via WikipediaSex workers demand award conditions.

Melbourne has had legal prostitution for many years now. Legal in licensed brothels but not on the streets.
It's interesting to see the sex workers union attempting to bring their members even more into the fold of government regulation (sex workers operate as self -employed sub contractors) even more so that it is already. So far medical certificates requiring a clean bill of health are necessary for the social worker to practice her art. The taxman is keen to get his paws on her earnings but that remains a grey area where honesty is the only way the taxman can benefit. If a social worker refuses to declare her true source of income, or worse, under estimates her true income, the taxman can't just audit her accounts.

With award conditions we can look forward to government defined and regulated fees for specific services. Hand relief,oral,anal,french kissing as well as straight sex can now be enshrined in laws that specify in minute legalese the terms and conditions as well as charges applicable.
Many years ago I was bemused at the thought that government regulation would open up the possibility of a standards bureau that would monitor the quality of product provided by the social workers. I, of course, with only egalitarian intentions would volunteer to perform the odious task of inspector of social worker service standards. This was of course not to be as my career path followed a very different direction.

And by the way, I didn't misspell "sex worker" for "social worker", we must have the correct perspective on this matter.
