I'd like to add to your comments that the drug trade and prostitution contribute MILLIONS ANNUALLY to "our economy," as does almost certainly theft.

The point being that just because there is an economic "contribution" involved does not make an activity moral, right, acceptable to society (most of us), or even legal by way of our laws in the country.

I know you agree...my comments are to reinforce yours, to counter the original.

Excellent points.
