Hi Miriam,
Thanks for sharing this one. Based on past discussions, you and I are on
opposite sides of this issue. I do believe that doogan and Cirkin have it
right here and that the best approach is to decriminalize this activity on
both sides of the street.
Perhaps what we do need are laws that put more limits on managers of
brothels such that the majority of the money earned by the prostitute is
kept by the prostitute. And, I'd continue to outlaw street pimps.
I think we can agree that we want to put an end to violence and children in
the sex trade. I was going to say we agree on the elimination of
exploitation, but I'm thinking that you believe that any kind of sex for
hire relationship is exploitation. . Would you argue that women like Doogan
have been exploited for so long that they do not see the error of their
opinions?
One of the great things about this list is that we can have intelligent
discussions about extremely emotional hot-button type issues and still
remain friends.
