Governor Spitzer, you are the man, well almost (you back H.C. for president and I gotta call you out on that). So, you got caught on tape by the F.B.I. soliciting the services of a prostitute. Thats fine, you are doing a perfectly human function (after all, we all want to do ‘stuff’ that we can do with our wives) between two consenting adults. People are going to rag on you for getting that high class hooker, but be strong (your wife may have issues with that, but thats all on you).
I am a firm believer that prostitution should be legal. If we apply the same standards as what Nevada has implemented, it will be safer for all parties involved.
1. Government/Religion Crap. Prostitution is the world’s oldest profession. Its not like this is new and some fad that just suddenly emerged. This has been going on and on despite whatever government or religion is in control (it even occurs in SW Asia and those people are fundamentalists). Pretty much, the government is saying that two adults can’t have sex if money is involved (my theory is because the government cant collect the taxes of that transaction).
2. Health. Prostitutes are diseased infested and if you get one, you gonna die. Well, I can't comment on the deregulated prostitutes, but for the legal ones, you could not be farther from the truth. These laws are taken from the Storrey County Nevada rules concerning prostitution where it is legal. Here was the section concerning the health regulations.
5.16.180 Health regulations
A. Any licensee who wilfully and knowingly exposes any patron to persons affected with any infectious venereal diseases shall have his permit and license revoked pursuant to ordinance, and licensees must agree to use all possible care to prevent such occurrences and abide by any state and county health regulations that may be imposed. All employees excluding maids, managers and domestic help, must be examined at least once each week by a regularly licensed physician or osteopath.
B. A medical examination is required of all employed prostitutes. Every licensee shall insure that in accordance with the Division of Health of the Department of Human Resources of the state of Nevada rules and regulations now in force or hereafter promulgated a medical examination is undergone by all prostitutes employed by the licensee, which examination shall :\
1. Be performed at least once a week ;
2. Be performed by or under the supervision of a physician duly licensed to practice medicine in the state of Nevada ;
3. Include tests approved by the Division of Health of the Department of Human Resourses of the state of Nevada for the detection and diagnosis of sexually transmitted disease, including, but not limited to weekly tests for gonorrhea and chlamydia. All tests must be processed at a Nevada licensed and approved clinical laboratory ;
4. Include tests approved by the Nevada State Division of Health for the detection of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). A negative test for Human Immune Deficiency Virus (HIV) is required before a work card can be issued. An HIV test is required every thirty days. If any legal prostitute tests positive on her Western Blot or other licensed confirmatory HIV test then her employment will be terminated. In addition, each pre-employment worker is required to be tested for infectious syphilis. She is also required to have a syphilis serology every thirty days. If her pre-employment or subsequent syphilis tests are confirmed positive she will be required to undergo a medical evaluation and treatment before she can go back to work as a legal prostitute in the county ;
5. Include other medical approved test, deemed advisable by the physician, for determining whether the prostitute is afflicted with any infectious or contagious disease ;
6. Be performed at the location of the licensed operation, at the physician's office, at a hospital or clinic, as determined by the physician ; and
7. The medical authority will provide negative results to the county sheriff before an applicant can receive a work card.
C. Medical Examination -- Duty of Licensee. Every licensee shall ensure that every prostitute is examined by a physician as required in Subsection B (5) of this section, and that the physician has :
1. Issued to the sheriff of the county a clearance on every person examined and found to have no evidence of a communicable disease ;
2. Refused to issue such certificate to any person found to be, or suspected of being, afflicted with a sexually transmitted disease ;
3. Reported the results of his refusal to issue such certificate immediately to the sheriff of the county ; and
4. Reported to the sheriff of the county and the county board of commissioners immediately the existence of any condition on the premises of any licensed operation which, in the professional opinion of the physician, constitutes a health hazard to the patrons or employees of any licensed operation or to the public, together with his recommendations for correcting the condition. All prostitutes will be counseled about their infection by the Nevada Health Division or their designee when a positive venereal disease test is detected or suspected. (Res. 90-11, 1990 ; Res. 90-6, 1990 ; Regs. dated 8/8/72 Section 5)
3. Decriminalization. First, there will be no human rights violation. These women will chose to work in a safe, healthy, and regulated environment (the security and protection of these women in these brothe’s is pretty high). They will not be exploited because they are getting paid with a regular paycheck and could be taxed accordingly. Except, instead of a pimp getting his cut, Uncle Sam is getting a little piece of the action.
4. Porn is legal, so why isn’t prostitution. Just think of prostitution as interactive porn and I can pretty much guarantee that no DVD can compare.
5. Personal Choice. This is just another way for the government to control what people do with their bodies. These are the same fucktards that make you apply for a license before you get married.
The people who we trust to govern us are the same people who are breaking the laws, sorry Spitzer. You are not the first to break this law, but rest assured, you won’t be the last. And, just to rub salt in the wound, there is even a Roman Catholic Bishop who supports the legalization of brothels. Take that!
I am herby bestowing, with all rights and privileges there of, that Mr. H. Lee Scott is the Fuckwit of the Month for March 2008. He is the C.E.O. of Walmart, which won a lawsuit against a brain dead woman recently.
