Please read this brilliant article by Elizabeth Pisani. I have just discovered her blog, www.WisdomOfWhores.com and find her to be a much-needed rational voice in a world of Puritans and hypocrites.

great writing, thanks for the link! i have long thought this nations attitudes toward prostitution and marijuana were incredibly similar to the prohibition movement. They have managed to take a few uptight people's morality and turn it into creating an entire class of criminals that, if legalized, would be mostly harmless. If prostitution were legalized and regulated, could there be the violent abuse by "pimps", or clients? would prostitutes fear to go to the police, or doctors after such mistreatment, or if they feared an STD infection or drug addiction? Would we still have, at the street level, "pimps" who take 80% of the money made by the prostititute? Hell no, because Uncle Sam would want his cut so there'd be a much more equitable split ( ... )
