AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Amsterdam to get statue to honor prostitutes
January 20, 2007 Amsterdam's red-light district will soon get a new attraction: a statue to honor prostitutes around the world.
The statue, designed by artist Els Rijerse, will likely be unveiled at the end of March, Dutch news agency ANP reported.
"In many countries, prostitutes struggle and people have no respect for them whatsoever. The statue is meant to give all those men and women strength," Mariska Majoor, a former prostitute who commissioned the statue, told ANP.
ANP said the statue, made of bronze, shows a woman who confidently looks out into the world.

Ok, folks...are you starting to get the idea that the world's lack of morals is a bad thing? Anything goes these days, and this is just more of the same.
AND YES IT IS REDICULOUS.

Holland is a very advanced country. Pot is legal there, and addicts of every drug are not prosecuted. They consider access to sex for handicapped people a right once a month like a social service. They are even experimenting with having no stop signs, lights, or parking restrictions. Everyone has to look out for pedestrians the man who engineered the system regularly tests it by closing his eyes and crossing the street.
