Yes, Judy. The whole world, in fact, is ganging up against you,
plotting your intellectual downfall. There are thousands of
emails per minute devoted just to you.
You should see what all the others here on FFL write when you're

You're as bad as Barry, Cliff. I NEVER said
or suggested anything of the kind.
Your take on this surprises me, Peter. There's no "degree of
choice" here - it's a choice, pure and simple. If a woman chooses
a job where her looks or sexuality is rewarded, that's her choice
to make. Yes, there are emotional consequences, as there are
to any job. Should women not be allowed t

Governors of which states? Or are you talking about Governors of the A of E?
Can you define what you mean by exploitation? Maybe its a semantic
problem in my not being able to see the exploitive aspect of dancers.
Is choice the key factor for you? So if a dancer has other options,
then per your view, would there be no exploitation?
