It's too bad that Eliot Spitzer didn't use his gubernatorial powers to legalize prostitution in New York. But, like all men, Spitzer was thinking with his "other head" when he joined the Emperors Club VIP list. Of course, now, since Scanner Bryan broke the story, it's too late. But it would have been a good idea. Another opportunity Spitz squandered would have been portraying his act of sin as an act of resistance, a protest against our punitive and puritanical society's punishment of prostitution.

In all seriousness, though, isn't it time we made prostitution legal? Does anyone honestly think there will ever be a deterrent strong enough to stop people from seeking out sex? I know this isn't an original idea, but if we acknowledge that prostitution isn't going away, why not legalize it? Scanners, what's your vote? Is it time to Nevada-ize New York? Or should we keep prosecuting prostituting?
