"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Robert Heinlein -- a genuine patriot and libertarian in all but name -- made this observation in one of his novels:
A whore should be judged by the same criteria as other, professionals offering services for pay--such as dentists, lawyers, hairdressers, physicians, plumbers, etc. Is she professionally competent? Does she give good measure? Is she honest with her clients? It is possible that the percentage of honest and competent whores is higher than that of plumbers and much higher than that of lawyers. And enormously higher than that of professors.
I'd add politicians to that list, except politics is not a profession, more like an affliction. But it's relevant to compare prostitutes to politicians, as elected officials rarely give good measure, and for damn sure the vast majority are anything but honest.
Huh, that's a surprise... would have expected the casinos and brothels in NV to be among the last shut down. But hey, fascists gotta fash.
ReplyDeleteIn CA churches have to close but strip clubs stay open. Boggles my mind how any Dem anywhere ever gets elected to public office.
Dems get elected because the strip clubs stay open, which is why the clubs stay open.
