In the state of Florida, prostitution is a misdemeanor, but massaging without a licenses is a felony? Does that make sense?

It is for the greater good to prevent the relaxation of the populace. When someone is buying or selling sex, they are nervous and stressed and that makes them too busy to see what the man behind the curtain in the Emerald City is up to.

Allow indiscriminate and unlicensed massage and you will unleash a dangerous mob who can see and think clearly, and who can tell what may happen then?
