Oh don't worry, I know I cannot convert you. I can only show flaws in your ideas and you have to decide whether to accept them.
As the two legal points you mentioned, I would be happy to legalize prostitution. But under your standards, it wouldn't matter if she or he had AIDS. It's your fault for bedding down with a disease carrier. Or, they could be licensed and monitored with testing and standards.
If you had said pot, then ehhh, drugs are stupid but pot's pretty mild. But heroin? Sure, make heroin legal only after mankind has gotten smart enough to not want or crave one of the most dangerous drugs around. But while we have people stupid enough to want heroin, then society can create laws regulating it's usage.
You do have a say in the laws. Get out and vote, organize and so forth. But when your actions affect other people, then they have a say in your activity as well.
