Re: Legalising prostitution : a lesser evil ? (none / 1)
Perhaps I have a libertarian side...but it seems like prostitution is going to happen, so why not legalize it and require a license, health checks, etc. Make it safer for the girls. (That's how it works in Switzerland, if I understand it correctly...)

total agreement. Making it safe is part of making it legal. The problem is not prostitution, but people illegally thriving on it.

That's all well and good. But how to ensure that the economically disadvantaged get their fair share? Or, in this case, are we to abandon the socialist model? ;/)
