wow! Robert, this puts that word whatever into great aspects of a life gone to waste or fallen..... after all the hard work.. well for some money is money... and just cause there is easy ways to make it,, it does not mean it empowers them,,, its just keeps certain personas where they are meant to be kept... nice inspiration for a thought... thanks for sharing..p.d.

oh, my GOSH, this is AWESOME.That is exactly what the world has become with the loose morals of today. I see those dating shows where they fall into bed with one date. This deserves a fave!
