If those tasty tarts weren't out strutting their stuff, there'd be no Johns what ? then... i assume you subscribe to the supply side economics ? aka as voodoo or reaganomics -GG- prostitution is the oldest job they say, ever wonder why ? because there is a demand for it. and you are NOT going to change that. that means that there will be prostitution to service the demand so i do not agree with your statement. it is the same logic that the "war on drugs" is using and sending rides into Colombia to curb the supply of drugs. attacking the dealers to make it more difficult for the product to reach the market. guess what happens ? low supply, high demand = price goes up. price goes up, it makes the dealers very rich, and it also gives the incentive for small time (low educated people) to join the "pursuit of riches" who gets caught most of the time ? small time dealers, users. jails get filled with (in many instances), non violent "criminals" you should concentrate on the demand. How ? on education at an early age. (and it takes a long time). low demand, large supply = price goes down price goes down... business unattractive, not many people in it... eventually business is abandoned.... particularly if the government gets a tax bite out of it. now... let's apply that to prostitution... i guess the demand for it will never cease.. so... instead of criminalizing it... legalize it. it will be healthier anyway. no pimps (wooooo that sounded like politician). so in short i do not agree with your statement above. as for the money... like i said.... supply = demand... you found price equilibrium -gg- as for interest rates... well, pay cash, don't leave home without it (never use credit cards -- they will track you down) -GG- now, how can i get a job with Alan Greenspan
