Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. The only way you can control an activity is to legalize it. Should these activities be legal, money generated by these services could be used to prevent abuses. The criminal bodies attached to these activities would vanish. I can think of a better use of our legal system and our law enforcement officers than drug offences. Can you? Drugs and prostitution will not disappear, so let's face reality. Let's do with drugs and prostitution what we are doing with cigarettes and alcohol. Gilles Girard Montreal - --- MAP posted-by: Beth Wehrman
