Yah, you're probably right but how disapointing. I guess it's that old "power corrupts(sp)" thing.

I didn't know prostitution was legal in only some places in Nevada. I knew of one place, years and years ago, off of hwy 95 at Lida junction called the Cotton Tail Ranch. Never went there, it was the only structure(s) in the area and I could never figure out why someone would think it was a good location. When I first saw it (before I saw the sign) I thought it might be a mining operation since it had an airstrip and was surrounded by a chainlink fence. Some local folks told me it catered to Asian clients who they flew in from SF and LA. I guess that's possible but the buildings were real plain double and single wides like what you might see at a construction site. I would imagine that any client who could cover the costs of a private jet would want something fancier, maybe a replica of Scotty's castle or some other fantasy like the ones so common in Lost Wages. Maybe they were nice on the inside.

I have mixed feelings about the oldest profession. I feel it could be a good thing since the contacts, if properly governed, could provide relief for the sexually frustrated without encumberances but I think, also, that it is a sad life for the workers and a sad comment on a culture that can be so messed up about sex. So it goes.

WYSIWYG's comments made me think. What a hideous experience for someone working in the trade. God, I hope they see a better life somehow.

And not to add another level of sillines, but interesting:

Did the Beatles know something?

"Number nine, number nine, number nine..."
