Letter: Legalize prostitution

Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2002 | 8:53 a.m.

The new guidelines that our brilliant Clark County commissioners voted to impose on lap dancing have got to be the biggest joke of the year. Enforcing these rules would be like trying to enforce a law prohibiting pigeons from pooping in public parks.

The answer to all of these so-called problems is to legalize prostitution in Clark County. This would put all of these strip joints and escort services out of business, and the hookers and pimps would disappear from the streets overnight.

We could learn a lot from the little town of Pahrump. They don't have these problems.
