- 6. The Causes We aredealing with a structural inherency Current laws no longer deter the behavior Prostitution can’t be regulated because of its illegal nature A Plan of Action Agent: The State of California Mandates: 1. Congress will pass a bill that legalizes prostitution. 2.

A company sponsored healthcare plan will be made available for workers. d. The union will provide condoms and the use of condoms is mandatory for sexual intercourse. e .Prostitutes must pay state and federal taxes. 4. Each prostitute must be tested for all pertinent sexually transmitted diseases every 45 days. 5. If a prostitute tests positive for a STD, he or she must have 2 consecutive tests with negative results before returning to work. Enforcement: Fines will be levied for both workers and

Also, this image is of a fish that has many extra teeth. These teeth are not only extra, they seem unnecessary and even harmful to the existence of the fish (how does it close its mouth, or eat, or defend itself)? Finally, the fish is alone in this image.
