Legalize prostitution first and that will go along way toward changing society... Right now we have too many people being jailed for victimless crimes... That's not what free countries do... That is what the Taliban does...

Bill and I, I think, have laid out all the reasons why criminalizing prostitution is not only wrong but counterproductive...

Yeah, it can be argued that "Gee, I wish that __________________" but Bill and I are dealing with reality... Not Wishland...

BTW, if comments about a "favorite prostitute" we aimed at me, I don't have a favorite prostitute... Might of fact, I have never engaged a prostitute... Okay, I knew a few back when I was workin' at the half-way house in the inner city of Richmond... No, I knew a lot of them... They would come listen to me play guitar sittin' outside on warm summer nights when I was S.O.D. (Staff on Duty) and would be up all night and I'd talk with them (as people, gol danged it)... That gave me my perspective into this entire deal...

I mean, it's easy to wring ones hands and pronounce others -- it's always others -- as immoral or evil or bad or this or that...Ain't so easy when you bring it down to real people in a real world...
