You Don't Need Craigslist to Kill Somebody

So, in response to this whole medical-student-finds-erotic-masseuse-on-Craiglist-and-kills-her story, the Web site that facilitated his homicidal impulses has promised to eliminate its erotic services section and replace it with a manually reviewed adult services section.

Problem solved, right? Yeah, well, probably not.

Just like with the "sexting" frenzy, the old and out-of-touch love to point fingers at the technology that allows people in different ways to do the same stuff they've always been doing.

Hell, prostitutes have been the victims of raging madmen for centuries (see Ripper, Jack the). And they didn't even have dial-up in 19th-century London.

The problem we need to address is the super-creepy dude out there who wants to kill women, not the resources he uses to find them. So why punish the healthy, erotic-massage-loving pervs who play by the rules of the erotic services section just because one unhealthy, law-breaking sicko abused it?
