Prostitution should be legal

I don't understand why we are so middle ages about this. Everyone know it goes on. Most men visit prostitutes. I recall that the question was on the ballot in SF and it was soundly defeated, I mean soundly, in one of the most liberal cities in the USA.

Why are we such hypocrites? It is a total waste of Law Enforcement resources to enforce laws against prostitution. There is no way to stop it. If we legalized it and taxed it, we would be able to raise much needed tax revenues and we would ensure safety by requiring safe sex practices and AIDS/VD tests.

If it was legal, the demand would shift to the legal brothels and off the streets, which would clean them up and make neighborhoods and people safer, especially exploited women. LE could then concentrate on illegal prostitution and we could throw the book at them.

Why can't women understand that they would be much safer if their cheating husbands were going to legal safe brothels than to crack whores in the alley? Can anyone give me even one negative for legalizing prostitution?
