Great post.
They manipulate the media in a very cynical way. It will be interesting to look back on this in 12 months time and see what happened.

345 people...
minus 290 adult prostitutes...
minus 21 children...
leaving 34 people arrested who were either pimps or johns or drug dealers or in the wrong place at the wrong time...

Another good post.
The US approach to prostitution makes it easier for people who want to exploit children to exist. The only way to control something is to bring it under the wing of legitimacy. Prohibition taught us one thing, making it illegal does not stop people wanting it and does not stop people supplying it. It makes it easier for criminals to operate.
Make it legal and make the cost of running the company contribute to the control of the industry. It's not a 100% solution but it's better than making it illegal so criminals can operate.
