What say you?
Nevada is proof positive that legalizing prostitution does take the slavery out of it.
I tend to agree with you on this. Laws neither eliminate immoral behavior or create moral behavior. Law does however, drive these activities further underground. By driving prostitution underground, it actually makes it more likely that pimps will use underaged prostitutes and control them by abuse.
The complete elimination of demand is a utopian vision that will never exist, but it can be reduced ... through moral character. But the sword cannot make a man moral, no matter how mighty it is!
One of the great failures of our society is absolving ourselves of moral responsibility by making the state responsible instead. Underaged girl? Yes, that's a crime and is within the realm of using state power for punishment. But the bigger issue of prostitution in general, is a spiritual matter and thus, a matter not belonging to the state.
This is a admirable site. I believe that you made a great point. Thank you for saying this. I have loved viewing your website.
