Don't think it would do much in regards to rapists and pedophiles. Rape is more about asserting power over another. What outlet could you possibly give to a pedophile.

Kirby R. Cundiff, PhD, Associate Professor of Finance at Northeastern State University, wrote the Apr. 8, 2004 working paper entitled "Prostitution and Sex Crimes," for the Independent Institute, that stated:
"It is estimated that if prostitution were legalized in the United States, the rape rate would decrease by roughly 25% for a decrease of approximately 25,000 rapes per year....

...[T]he analysis seems to support the hypothesis that the rape rate could be lowered if prostitution was more readily available. This would be accomplished in most countries by its legalization."

I think part of it is about power and control but you cannot dismiss the sexual component.
As for the original premise here, I have not heard a more moronic idea in quite a while. 1st you presume that everyone on the list deserves to be there. 2nd, the 'family values' crowd who own thoses lists would put 100% of us on this board on their list if they could. SOL's are one of the largest abuses of power and travesties to our liberties ever allowed.
