62. volunteer for what?
Ask any sex worker for their services for free and I guarantee they'd laugh in your face, so I can't see Gannon "volunteering" for anything that has to do with his cut little Johnson.

Contrary to popular belief, sex workers aren't any more dishonest, stupid, evil, or (insert derogatory adjective here) than anyone else.

63. I meant to come clean on what he knows, in reference to G/G
I feel that sex workers ARE making an honest living. It was NOT a slam at them. G/G is not honest, and is sure to have insider info on the regime. I want HIM to get honest and talk.
You totally misunderstood. Maybe I didn't make myself clear.

64. no, you really didn't make yourself clear
The topic is about careers the Repukes hate. And as far as I can tell, Gannon's supposed volunteering to come clean on what he knows has nothing to do with the topic at hand... mentioning that he is dishonest in this thread DOES throw a negative light on all sex workers.

That said, I can't imagine what it was you were attempting to point out by bringing up the cut and dishonest Gannon in THIS thread. Although seeing as you think that hookers make an honest living, I'm not getting how you also think Gannon's dishonest.

And since you want him to get honest and talk... yeah, right. That'll happen the same day that angels fly out of my ass.

but the Right surely does. She is the sweet darling stereotype of a librarian. In fact, I knew some like her when I was in Library School. I don't know what they are doing now, but it is so long ago that I suspect that many of them are retired. In fact, their brains retired a long time ago.

51. They hate all careers that produce value
The corporatocracy is ultimately threatened by production capability,
and this includes arts, intellectual property, farming, cloning your
own seeds, refining your own drugs and creating any lifestyle that is
sustainable without dependence on their corporate monopolies of
production.

THEY want to be the only source of all those things, that they can sell
the world that only with a billion dollars will you ever be able to
produce muisic, only with a billion dollars can you genetically engineer
seeds for your back garden and only with a billion dollars can you
create useful drugs and medicine. This is the corporate monopoly
speaking; the "ownership" society that owns every conceptual inch of
everything you consume, intellectually or physically, that you MUST
pay them and be indebted to them.

It is capitalism gone bad, where capital seeks to crush out competetive
production capability... as only DISNEY CORP can make art, and all
individual persons must be disempowered to keep up that illusion.

Gladly, there is a world of musicians and happy folks outside their
sick paradigm making art and producing value that will long outlast
this sick collapsing ponzi scheme.
