Hmm... Well, when I was in Amsterdam, I saw some pretty obvoius cases of prostitution (scantily clad women sitting in windows with red lights in them), and drug sales openly taking place in clubs such as the Milky Way. I also heard about this earlier on 60 Minutes, where they stated that some drugs such as hashish are legal and government-regulated, as is prostitution. Unless you can provide some documentary evidence to the contrary I won't be convinced... Wayne
