Why is prostitution wrong in your eyes? Who's being "victimized"? I'm not talking white slavery - I'm talking two consenting adults making a deal for services.

What's wrong with that? Isn't that just the fee market in action?

"As for Spitzer, consider the fact that he once busted prostitution rings for a living."

Yes. Very hypocritical of him.

And he should be pilloried for it.

But, aren't you all about forgiving the hypocrisy of others?

"Turn America into Amsterdam?"

It isn't just in Amsterdam. We went through some pretty small towns in the Netherlands. If there was much traffic through there, you were sure to see several houses with a big window in front of what looks like a closet with a chair in it. Sitting in the chair is a woman in her lingerie...

Now, I don't know for a fact that those houses were bordellos. But it seems to be a logical conclusion.
