Thank you for raising this issue Donald. Yes any item listed in "Community Voices" contains editorial content and reflects whatever biases the writer has. As to your other comments I have been around, having worked on these issues for twenty years and dealt with hundreds of sex workers, mostly street walkers. Black, Hispanic, and marginalized people, doing street based sex work, were a major component of the event discussed.  I also work closely with a variety of local outreach agencies with decades of first hand experience.  No one of these people would agree with your statement that the human trafficking problem is "huge". Tiny would be a better word. That does not mean it should be ignored.  However, laws passed to deal with it have been drawn broadly and in fact attack a long list of harmless people.  Sex workers support targeted laws that deal with abusers and not with others whose only crime is engaging in conduct someone considers immoral.
