Mpls Police protecting us from High End Call Girl Network -- I am soooo relieved.

It is front page of today's StarTribune. For some reason it the story does not appear online but a former Hennepin County Attorney arranged for high end prostitutes to be available to friends and friends of friends in exchange for free sex.

The investigation had gone on for a year and at some point they recruited the girls to entrap the boys.

No mention of drugs, slavery, extortion, tax evasion or any other crime with an actual victim.

I had hoped in my lifetime that we could see adult sense brought to such things and think of the revenue streams this would generate if it were a well regulated and taxed commodity.

1. Please be in no rush to make women a commodity.

Revenue streams be damned.

2. I am a realist. It is the second oldest profession.

Legalizing and regulating it keeps organized crime out of it, stops the spread of disease, extortion, sex slavery etc.

There are many men in this profession also.

3. I would think the Republicans could get behind this. As a married woman, I would have difficulty

with this being legal. Would that mean that spouses could not use the term "cheating" ,since it would be legal, in order to obtain a divorce? Exactly how does that work?

5. Minnesota is a no fault state and a cheater is a cheater.

The question is would you rather have your cheater use a regulated prostitute or a disease infected, owned by a pimp/extortionist one.

Republicans, really? They made the system we have.

Denial is thick today.

7. "My Cheater" would be "out" so asking that question is irrelevant. I think for me the

issue is, regardless of No Fault, if Prostitution would be legal, what burden does that put upon the mate? Here I speak in regards to "emotions" and "rights". In that case, I think Marriage should mean something totally different. Just wondering since both are governed by "legality" things. Just things I have wondered about...

4. It's the 2nd oldest profession cause woman had such few opportunities

6. Geezzz our society is in a talespin check the shelters and the foodshelves.

Prostitution is and always will be. How we best deal with it is the question.
