Pathfinder
I just wanted to be clear that I wasn't trying to ding you over the use of the word whore. Its just one thats bothered me for a lot of reasons for a number of years. I worked for the Inter American Foundation, my senior year of college. They made micro-loans and grants (less than $50k) to small businesses and co-ops in latin america. One of the projects I helped work on dealt with helping child prostitutes form a sewing shop in Peru. Part of the deal was collecting the bios and pics of of the employees to try to gain private sector donors, as well as to prevent fraud. Ever since reading those reports, I've never been able to so much as go into a strip club (with one regretable exception). Looking at the face of a 12 year old who looked about 40 just does something to you, and that's before you read about her life in the slums of Lima. You're right, we all have filters, that's one of mine. I'm not claiming any moral superiority here, far from it, it just reminds me of those kids whose lives were changed by getting a hundred bucks to buy a sewing machine and thinkig about the bastards who stole their childhoods for about eighty cents a throw for ten minutes of pleasure. Thats my filter Pathfinder.
