Harry Reid Calls for an End to Legal Prostitution in Nevada
Well if Mr. Reid is being so fastidious about harmful social behaviors maybe he would like to reexamine legalized gambling. Gambling addiction is a recognized mental illness and tens of thousands of individuals and families have been been devastated by it. A good friend of mine was one of the co-owners of a successful family business that went bankrupt when their accountant/payroll manager embezzled millions from the firm to feed his gambling habit. About forty people lost their jobs as a result.
Yet the government itself now endorses gambling in the form of state and multi-state lotteries. Every state is scrambling to enact legislation allowing casinos to be built and operated. I am reliably informed that gambling is an important source of revenue in Mr. Reid’s home state.
As far as prostitutes go I would contend that the employees of your average Nevada brothel are far less hypocritical and far more ethical than Mr. Reid.
