oh interesting, esp in light of your other comment's statement that regulated legalization hasn't made things better for sex workers in vegas. i think i need to run some errands and do some work instead of scouting bandcamp and reading HN, but i hope to read your time link and mull that stuff over later this afternoon/evening. thanks for the opinion/info, even if i don't have a reply while anyone's still reading this thread (though i'll try to reply regardless if i think i have something worthwhile to say, if only to get it out for myself). i would say that even if i stay thinking that regulation is the right thing in principle, i'd hope that it'd not be so draconian as to impinge on small independent operators (a la the blind eye turned to homebrewing and your average poker game). without further reading/consideration, i'd still think that a business composed of multiple people involved in prostitution, or a business space specifically devoted to it, might be things subject to regulation? or maybe not even that, i dunno. i'm a big believer in civil liberties and personal freedom, but i'm also not much for libertarianism (because it doesn't seem like it always does a good job of maximizing freedom for most people when you take into account how people behave in groups).
