I am not disagreeing with you Samantha, that is part of my point. The government will create these rules, they will benefit a few, but for many it will put them at a disadvantage. It fixes some problems but creates others. So independents will likely flout those rules as well. Like you said, it is difficult for them to regulate and you are going to reject the rules that are of no benefit to you, so now we have *more* rules that people disregard. Why bother?

Regulations often are put forward cloaked under the guise of good intentions to help to protect sex workers, and their clients, from criminal elements or to stop the transmission of disease, and so on. But all too often they go overboard, they will look to it as a revenue stream, they will then hire people to monitor, start compiling lists, perhaps even look to licensing. That means paperwork. It will become difficult for independents, granting advantages to larger companies, who then have the money to lobby governments to create new rules to their advantage, and on it goes. How long before Revenue Canada starts requesting client lists? Sure, we will all be assured the information will be kept confidential.... Regulations may solve some problems, but you can pretty much bet the bank it will create new ones.

Unfortunately, fast food again for me.

This is certainly a fantasy of mine.

I would be interested as well.
