#1 So much for the "victimless crime" myth.

I totally disagree. When you can make $20-30,000 a month for providing your "services", you are no victim. These were hardly crack-addicted teenage single mothers; they were successful businesswomen who could "get out at the top" at the time of their choosing.

Let's get real - working as a janitor or taking fast food orders for a few years is far more grueling and demeaning.

#2 Y'know I have no interest in the trials and tribulations or the joys and benefits of being a hooker. If you end up getting rich from it, well, good for you, you probably earned it. If you end up drug addicted or diseased or dead, well, good for you, you probably earned it.

#3 For 30,000 a month I might have some difficulty deciding whether to screw Spitzer or not.

#4 As I point out, sex is legal, giving away money for silly reasons is also legal. What is not legal is to do them in a short time span of each other with a clear cause and effect relationship.

This means that only really uncreative or downright stupid prostitutes and johns ever get busted.

Heck, unless they are this stupid, they aren't even *called* prostitutes, even if they do essentially the same thing.

Most any reasonably intelligent person can sit down and in five minutes figure out how to create a prostitution business that will never be busted, or even suspected of prostitution.

#6 So much for the "victimless crime" myth.

You might as well say everyone who goes into gymnastics, ballet, modeling, pro-football or any other career with a shelf life ending in the early '30s is a crime victim. People make bad choices and fail to invest their income while they have it and then they live with the consequences. I speak from experience.

Do you have a business plan?

#8 I've had the pleasure of living where prostitution is legal, and indulged myself on many occasions. When properly controlled and regulated, it can be a remarkably civilized business. In truth, prohibition is the source of nearly all negative aspects of the trade.

#9 I wonder who clients 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 are? I bet they are pissing in their hoisn.

#11 So much for the Emperor's VIP Club's high class goods. With her three diamond rating, "Kristen" aka "Ashley Youmans" aka "Ashley Alexandra Dupre" does not appear "highly educated," "accomplished," "sophisticated," or of "good family," as the online website claimed about it's high priced merchandise.

Likely he was the one paying for it that time*

#12 "Can we speak of Mideast peace, technological innovations in stem cell therapy, Shostakovich's moodiest pieces, or should we have unprotected an*l s*x?"
