I think I mentioned the word prevention at least half a dozen times in this thread. What about social and community prevention aid programs? Just thing what a singe billion dollars would do. I mean 450 billion for defense but almost nothing is set aside for such programs. Yeah, it is outlawed on paper, but it is not being enforced properly, or at all in some places. Why? Is it cultural? Probably. Lax morals? Quite probably as well. Bad parenting? Yeah. I mean, look at some of the posts here. Some people apparently wouldn't mind if they daughters turned to drugs and prostitution. If fact someone pointed out they don't care what their daughter does. Outlawing is easy, enforcing is difficult and will be complex. Because, periodically picking up prostitutes off corners and fining them is accomplishing nothing. The problems is deeply rooted in the psyche and moral fiber of America. As this thread and many of its posters unknowingly point out.
