Laz - OK, let's go point by point. >>If murder were not illegal, thwe wife of a murderer would be hurt less too. If that's a valid argument against a law, welcome to anarchy.<< It wasn't an argument for the legalization of prostitution, it was simply an observation. A complete argument for the legalization can be made, but it would require more than one statement. >>This whole discussion has been about the Spitzer case.<< Sure. But that doesn't mean we're constrained from mentioning anything that doesn't directly involve the Spitzer case. You started the discussion by saying that the pain Spitzer's wife is going through demonstrates that prostitution is not a victimless crime. Tim pointed out that there are "crimeless victims", too, the spouses of people who cheat. That's a situation that contains elements similar to the Spitzer case. I think I'll leave your last two "points" alone, since they don't really make sense to me as responses to what I said. - Allen
