There is therefore no ability to advertise, no legal recourse for mistreatment, and fairly high demand for fairly low supply. It is therefore tends to offer sufficient payout to the criminal element to partake.<BR/><BR/>Legalize it and you begin to undermine the illegal empire. And yes, it would still involve exploitation, but no more than exotic dancing, or restauranteuring. Plus if it's legal you can actually regulate it, requiring health checkups, designating areas where business can be performed, etc. And if you have honest business-folk in the business, they will also tend to help regulate the illegal side of the coin, because the illegal traffic market would cut into their profits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214806.post-23910250322752855532008-11-03T18:37:00.000-08:002008-11-03T18:37:00.000-08:00Oops, that's me.

But given the economic situation, it won't earn the 2/3 vote that is needed, so more gridlock to come courtesy of your local greed-meisters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
