So I was thinking (as I sometimes do when I've nothing better to fill my time) about prostitutes and how I felt about them. 'Self', I said, ' How do you feel about prostitutes, and do you think that it should be legal, what they're doing?' Much to my surprise, I found myself answering yes. I had never really bothered to pose these questions to myself before but as I thought it out with as much logic as my tiny little brain could muster, I realized it made sense that way.

You see, prostitutes, having illegal professions, are forced into the underbelly of society, where they are mistreated in so many ways or, in far too many cases, even killed. If prostitution was made legal, it could be dredged up from where it is now and have an eye or three kept on it. It's like those parents who buy alcohol for their underage children, because they're going to do it anyway and the parents might as well know what's going on instead of having everyone sneak behind their backs. It wouldn't solve everything, but I think it would make it a lot safer.

I have no problem with people using their bodies in that way if they made the choice to do so and weren't forced into it because of necessity or whatever else. There are just so many horrible, slimy things that occur simply because of this profession being pushed into the dark corners where, even if people can see the bad shit going down, they can't really do anything about it.

Wellity well, that's my two cents. Would anyone care to share theirs?
