A BRAVER ANGELS PANEL DISCUSSION PRO AND CON OF PROSTITUTION IN TODAY's ECONOMY

This panel discussion is truly impressive and kept to the standards that I adhere to on this blog.  It's well worth the couple hours asked of you to listen to from beginning to end.

These women are Intelligent, respectful of others, other people's personal opinion allowed.  They discuss PTS, AIDS, devastating emotional damage...  Survival in poverty, inability to escape...  Choice?  Victims of predators.  70 percent overlap between prostitution and homelessness. International organized crime in charge. Most prostitutes start at age sixteen before the age of consent.

Focus here is on Mexico - San Diego - Los Angeles - San Francisco.
