any more so than they already do? Seems to me with legitimacy and regulation all it can do is reduce gang involvement, if anything. How can it make it worse?

If you think for one minute the biker gangs won't end up running this new enterprise, you're dead wrong!

The funny thing about this is in Prince George we have a native gang problem, and we have two escort agencies. The escort agencies are licensed business with the city, and there has never even been a whisper of any gang association in all the years they have operated. That's not to say it couldn't happen, but it's not a given either.

I already know how this is going to go:

It can't solve all crime, so it's not worth doing.

Yep - it's gotta be the whole loaf or nothing. Guess that's what it means to be conservative - why change if you can't get perfection.

Based on his posting history I don't doubt he believes what he posted.

Sadly, it doesn't really matter whether he believes it, for certain posters here it seems all too true.

No I wasn't. That's been the argument about drugs too. Paint pro-legalization people as claiming that it will cure all crime, when none of them have ever claimed anything like it. Then knock that strawman down and claim you've won the argument

Why not just legalize it so that it could be governed maintained.
