6. probaby true

that would have to be legislated and murikans would end the career of any legislators who tried to do that, i.e. legitimize that trade. Pols have to pander to the morality police. I guess what we have now is a black market in prostitution except in a very few places.

8. plus

who in their right mind could legislate against seeing Jenna Haze in her birthday suit?

[redqueen]

10. murikans or the mob?

11. I think the mafia and pimps and bad cops are all

opportunists who come in after the fact on that particular issue. I think it's mainstream america that keeps prostitution a black market.

Better tell those folks in Washington DC about that. You know, the "Parliament of Whores"?

14. The Rolling Stones summed it up in a long forgotten song

Not that the song Poison Ivy is actually about prostitution, but it's a great line:

"Well you can look but you'd better not touch"
