Basically, my thought is that legalization would provide legal protection and might keep the people involved from falling in between the cracks of society. A legalized sex industry could protentially provide better/safer work conditions. Of course, this may be hopelessly naiive, and those who've worked in fast food may me laughing at me now.)	✓ I slept with a roommate. (At a writers' conference, not* school.)*
