Can someone direct me to articles/papers that discuss the possible outcomes of a minimum wage increase. Whether it's the $10.10 or $15 increase.

I know it has probably been discussed in length in other threads.

Sodomy laws in the US originally covered only anal sex and then were later expanded to cover oral sex in the late 19th/early 20th century once judges started becoming aware of the horrors of blowjobs. Texas and a few other states updated their sodomy statutes in the 70s to apply to gays only, so in this particular case it only applied to gays. In practice the sodomy laws were never, ever enforced against consenting heterosexuals in any state, unless of course they were dirty race-mixers.


Well that depends, the police harassment of gays that the sodomy laws enabled could in many cases permanently ruin lives or even result in people being killed. It was highly dependent on where you lived though as to your likelihood of being subjected to such harassment.

In 1777 Thomas Jefferson proposed an anti-sodomy law in Virgina with a mandatory punishment of castration... Because the law he was trying to replace was a death penalty. :eng101:
