Reply #9: I don't believe prostitution is the [View All]

[The Brethren]

be all and end all to all problems. It's one of a huge range of problems -- some that are related and others that aren't. But one thing I rarely hear anyone say who wants to do something about prostitution in their neighborhood is regardless of what any other issues it may involve, it comes down an old fashion rule of supply and demand...there are no hookers w/o Johns.

If folks in your area or other areas want to really address the problem, then put their focus stopping the Johns. And if they do....what they may find is that there maybe a whole of lot of Johns, so to speak, right in their own back yard, or their house, or their bedroom. :-)
