SUPPORT, DON'T ATTACK

Re: Hooker hell zone, Aug. 15.

I see this in the newspapers across the country every day and it
works like this, first we demonize and oftentimes dehumanize people
in the press and then we begin the persecution and violation of civil
liberties within a week.

Why not look at the issues of drug prohibition, supply and demand and
child abuse as the root causes of the "prostitution problem" instead
of attacking people who need support.
