Personally, I'd rather see someone "utilizing their resources at hand" than suckling the biggest whore (.gov) for a handout.
I've never understood why voluntary prostitution is illegal. Kinda like why drugs are illegal while alcohol and tobacco are allowed to flow. d:^)
When it is given for free or, maybe, for a drink or two, it is rarely condemned. When it is given for a fee, society condemns it with scorn. Go figure.
Prostitution is legal in isolated places. The key to government legalizing prostitution is the taxing of the practice. So far, federal momma has not figured out how to do it as well as Nevada.
