I don't know how we would accomodate polygamy, but again I don't care.
Trespassing is trespassing. If you are on someone else's property when you are not supposed to be, that's trespassing. As you would say, "its that simple."
I am aware of the health concerns. If you read my first post on this, I said there should be strict monitoring of the health issues. If we were to legalize this, it would have to be contained to places that have been approved by the city they are in. The idea there is to keep prostitution off the streets. Bartering sex for drugs is not a prostitution issue. It is a drug addiction issue. I don't have an answer for that, but its not what we are talking about here.
Gambling is an addiction, but so are cigarettes and those aren't illegal. Just because its an addiction, does not mean it needs to illegal. An addiction is only as dangerous as the addict lets it become in my opinion. I smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for four years. The day I got serious about it, I was able to quit. I have friends and family who have quit heroine, cocaine, pills, you name it. I live in NJ where gambling is only legal in Atlantic City and the only reason its not legal everywhere is because Trump and the other casino owners throw a lot of money at the politicians to keep it that way.
If I just made a movie that was going to be a huge success, but I wasn't making the money on it that I should because people were buying bootlegged copies, I would be a victim. That's money out of my pocket that I use to support my family.
I honestly thought that was your position. Now its clear that you don't really have a position and were simply looking to have an argument someone. Glad I could help.
