	Perhaps you are quite wrong

	1) it is not illegal in all states, check Nevada.
	   As to slavery, madam Gypsy, the change there is
	   most easily accepted as an attempt to keep England
	   out of the civil war. SEE YOUR HISTORY BOOK.
	2) It is morally wrong to you!!!
	   Morals are not engraved in stone; figuritivly that is, some really
	   are.  As for a religeon that supports prostition, try any of the
	   worshippers of Bachus or Dionyssus.  There are probably more,
	   you might also include the satanists, that is also a religeon and
	   going quite well I hear, though I suspect that there are a few
	   ``respectable'' churchs that support prostition.

	3) Psychologically degrading
	   Try a bit of light reading, ``The Happy Hooker'', perhaps it is
	   all a big lie, but check the arrest record.  It is not so strange
	   that the human mind can bend where yours is to tight to stretch.
	   Except your fellow Man (the race, and I mean all of it), and maybe
	   we will all be able to relax.
