Well, to avoid a line-by-line reply, I will just say that all of those things I listed have been happening since human beings have existed. All of our efforts at "controlling" what people do have been nothing but a waste of time, money and resources because it is illegal now and still happens . . . all the time. Of course, I don't think EVERYTHING should be legalized; that's insane. But prostitution? If two adults agree that they want to exchange money for sex, I don't think it should be illegal. If it is detrimental to the person who makes the conscious decision to engage in this type of behavior, then that is on him or her. I don't consider that to be a concern of mine. I cannot stop people from hurting themselves if that's what they want to do and neither will legislation. My main concern with prostitution is when it involves children and/or forcible prostitution. I believe there would be less of THOSE things if it was legalized and regulated.
