How isolated is the majority of the public to not understand that people are dying here and unless these laws are stricken, will continue to do so. I believe one of Vancouver to earlier police chiefs, about five years ago, estimated that there was someone working as a sex trade worker in each of the large hotels or residences in downtown Vancouver pretty much year-round. That's a large population of people to throw it on the street, which is what Canada has effectively done with its legislation.<br /><br />I'm a client of the sex trade worker, and hope to be around when the adult sex industry is de-criminalized. Regardless of the political position taken, that would at least allow us to reduce harm [save lives] -eliminate child prostitution, break the stereotype, allow far more communication about the topic, and last but not least save money.<br /><br />Patrick Clark<br />Vancouver Canada.<br />patrickclark.g@gmail.comPatrickGChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17896134731763799033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30710387.post-45902605792824511772010-09-06T17:58:16.017-07:002010-09-06T17:58:16.017-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.PatrickGChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17896134731763799033noreply@blogger.com
