A recent news story
that has broken concerning potential illicit behavior by some members of the
Secret Service accompanying President Obama to the Summit of the Americas in
Cartagena, Columbia is a prime example of the corrupt nature of modern day news
reporting. Historically the
employment of prostitutes by politicians often has meant the destruction of
careers, marriages, and lives. It
seems we the people or rather our news agencies find this aged practice
questionable. The ever-reaching
far right contingency in America utilizes often hypocritical, unchristian, and unconstitutional
dogma do promote their own acquisition of wealth. If a few
politicians, televangelists,
or Secret Service members fall in the process so be it. For decades the media has built celebrities
and then brought them down for entertainment purposes. It is unethical. While under the ever watchful eye of
the paparazzi, it is inevitable oppressed actors, musicians, and the youthful
rich will make mistakes in public.
Simply it is because they have very little privacy in which to grow by
making mistakes. They are made in
the public forum, and that is the very concept of many television news
programs. The humor in this
emerging story is that
what is being reported is
misunderstood. The far right’s use
of a staunch, oppressive, Fire and Brimstone type of attitude may create
entertaining news, but it also can destroy lives. Prostitution is one of the world’s oldest professions. In many countries all over the world it
is accepted and even legal. It is
not in America. Instead our
hypocritical capitalist socio-economic system deprives Americans of what they
deserve and sells it to them. Why
not sell sex? Once we used to
receive clean, pure, tasty drinking water for free. We had cleaner air to breath. We had less noise.
Slowly republicans have been taking away our land, our rights, and our
happiness in return for their own monetary gain. Seen in its proper perspective, prostitution is a humane
anodyne. For those who cannot
afford to purchase a trophy wife and cannot navigate America’s decrepit social
network, there is an alternative.
The far right do not recognize it because that revenue will not be in
their pocket. Once long ago the
economy in America was driven by small business. Money flowed between Americans in a successful economic
system that was not reliant upon large drug cartels, a corrupt medical
profession, and interceding insurance companies. Also the reliance upon the automobile was not the core of
the American economy. Once the
arts were a major generator of revenue as the entertainment industry
flourished. Sean Parker and Steve
Jobs ended that with the invention and use of the Napster software. Today we are expected to subsidize the
rich. That is what we do. We do not create. We do not intermingle. We do not actualize our own personal happiness. We pay the debt for living in our own
country. America is not the
same. With this great system of
Capitalism, one still cannot go to the mall and buy a girlfriend or a
wife. Instead we are sold remedies
to treat symptoms of our unhappiness.
We can go to a strip club and waste our money on sexual frustration. We can download pornography and self
gratify. We cannot go to the
source of our loneliness, our physical needs, or our emotional longing and have
them satisfied even temporarily.
Then we would not buy.
Music no longer satisfies these same needs as it once attempted. Now it has been manipulated to make us
buy. The buying of sex is not
immoral. We do it in our
marriages. It is branded immoral
by a contingency that is stuffy, controlling, and rich. The seeking of physical intimacy is
natural. It is a component of
human nature. It is human. If one chooses not to be manipulated by
evil People attempting to acquire your home, your vehicle, and your inheritance
then what are the alternatives? Is
it to become gay? Is it to become
mentally ill? The misuse of prostitution
is common in America, because it is misunderstood. It like the vices of drug abuse and alcoholism is abused by
unhealthy Americans. It can be
utilized in a positive way.
Certainly a public argument with a prostitute demanding the intervention
of local police is not a positive example of prostitution, especially when it
was instigated by an member of America’s Secret Service while accompanying President
Obama to Columbia. The irony of
this story is, Cartagena is a common and well known host of the profession of
prostitution. Is is logical that American
men would attempt to utilize this amenity if they found themselves in close
proximity to this temptation. It
is unfortunate these men were not savvy and experienced enough to navigate the
cloaked practice of the selling of sex.
They @#$%ed up, but not because it involved prostitution. It is because these men dropped the
diplomatic ball. They like other
fallen angels failed to use their reason to control and then satisfy their
personal needs. They got carried
away. They let fame and notoriety influence
their common sense and lost sight of reality. In perspective a member of the Secret Service is a security
guard. That is all. For what they provide security is a
point of contention. If these men
were off duty and not responsible for the President’s safety, then what they
choose to do in the privacy of their own time is their business. Navigating a Columbian brothel probably
is not the strong point of a bullheaded, self-righteous, Blackwater type agent. It could be the skill of a cruise ship
musician.
