The Oldest Profession

With the oldest profession in the news again, maybe it's time to take a second look at it and come to terms with the fact that prostitution is here to stay. It has been with us from the beginning of times and it will continue being with us till the end of times. So why then this reluctance to make it legal once and for all? Why can the government have legal places for this sort of thing the way they do in Europe? Why can't the women and their madams pay taxes like everyone else? It's a never ending cycle of catching them and jailing them for a while till the scandal dies down and new ones take their place. The truth is that there's a very lucrative market for it and while there's a market for it more and more people will enter into it for different reasons, some will do it out of necessity and others simply because they like sex with different men and want to profit from it. But regardless of how it comes about, prostitution is here to stay and we should just admit it and get it over with. The whole thing is a charade and a joke anyway, so stop persecuting these women and force them instead to pay their fare share of taxes.
