That's kind of true in some parts of the US, indirectly. Some places criminalize not being homeless but all the things that are the result of being homeless like sleeping outside or in public places. But there are a lot of places in the US that do provide for the homeless. New York City has a right to housing provision, for example.

Capitalists would argue that between capitalism and socialism, capitalism is the one that better accounts for greed, as it generally has laws to con strain it but otherwise uses it to generate all the production that's the hallmark of modern society, division of labor, economy of scale, technological advancement, etc. Socialism doesn't really deal with greed, it just sort of wishes it away. That's why so many societies that have started down the socialist path have become at best poor and at worst authoritarian murder factories like the Soviet Union, Maoist China, Chavist Venezuela, the Khmer Rouge's Cambodia, etc.

Malthus and Erlich, right wingers?

I don't see many right wing people on this list. Thoughts?

I think it sort of depends on what time period we're talking about. Jericho and other walled cities came about after a certain point. By then, there certainly were societies that lived off raiding the less nomadic agrarian societies, not very peaceful or egalitarian.

All the good ones, anyway. Lol.

Too mean?

That'd be pretty cool, actually.

I think most people who've actually thought about it would say either "sensitivity to and awareness of the plight of marginalized people" or the same but with "oversensitivity", depending on which side of it you're on.

You're correct, it is not federally illegal in the US. Most things aren't. Murder isn't, either. However, traveling across state lines with a prostitute has gotten people in trouble with the federal government before.

There's a contingent of feminists who oppose prostitution for well being of the women reasons, too.

I don't think anyone means literally one person did all the work when they say "self made." Also, you as an individual pay for most of the things you get from the rest of society. You're still earning it, more or less.

Correct, the vast majority of people don't care.

Got a link to a good project of that type? I've been thinking about this recently.
