Is this a serious question? My God, I know you are a libertarian and all that, but have you ever considered that prostitution may be a human rights issue? Just like malnutrition and lack of health care? I mean, doesn't it bother you that there are women in such desperate poverty that they are forced to sell their body to survive? The question of pricing may make sense at the high end of the market i.e. high-priced call girls for the rich, but is that what you think prostitution is like? -raghu. -- "A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul." _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
