Not that long ago, I had a protracted war of words with a delightful young American college student with the fun, funky name of Freeman Dyson. My new friend Freeman simply refused to accept that I'm a happy hooker. He loved "Sin City" when he saw it at the movies, & he just can't accept the world could be any other way.

After my cutting reply, I assumed that young Freeman would drift off & find a new distraction, like a nice beach volleyball tournament or Mentos Ad audition.

I should have been so lucky...

"I do know about the subject which is why I was curious about a first hand account. Pornography is legal in the US and the industry is filled with scumbags. When I say the industry is full of scummy and shady people, I don't mean the women. I mean the men who run things and exploit them. It is just an industry that attracts shady people. The fact that is legal does not change that fact. It is legal in some parts of the US. The most famous is the Bunny Ranch and a lot of the girls that worked there have come out with horror stories about abuse. The legal porn industry is the same. Your story, if true, is not everybody's."

God, I hate young people today. They're so... righteous. In moments like these, I strongly support national service. It would certainly ensure that the most obnoxious little pickaninnies were eliminated - imagine the spike in friendly fire fatalities!

Now that I've solved the youth problem, what do we do about Peter Garrett?!

Back to my friend, Freeman...

Hard to reconcile your ideology with anything variable, isn't it?

I KNOW my story isn't mainstream. If I thought I was mainstream, I would self-destruct because I can't imagine anything worse. I shan't apologise for being me, but I will advise you to go elsewhere if you don't like it.

Every industry contains sleazy, dishonourable people. Every industry contains wonderful, loving people as well. It's simply a fact that the media likes to portray anything connected with sex as being furtive & scandalous. This is simply a reflection of what western society has done to sex, & women specifically.

We have debased sex as something filthy, nasty & marketable. I personally loathe porn. I think it has done more to damage the sexual union between men & women than any other medium. It portrays women as brainless vessels, mere orifices to be plundered & violated. The more pain & humiliation, the better seems to be their philosophy. Unfortunately, women help to perpetrate this hateful ideology because they continue to willingly participate within it. That's a WHOOOOOOOLE other subject for me to tackle...

The world is a much bigger place than what you've experienced, babe. Try taking off those blinkers & experiencing a side of life away from your comfort zone. Deviation from the norm is something to be embraced, not shunned. Ignorance is only a life sentence if you choose it to be.

We are ALL unique. That is what makes us human. NOBODY'S story is 'everybodys'. Why do you think every human fingerprint is unique? I savour the power of being individual. No one will ever own the few cubic centremeters inside my skull. My thoughts & my beliefs are mine alone, & I find great strength in that.

All that I will ever truly have in this world is ME. Know what? I am so good with that. When I finally saw past the wood & really saw the trees, it was a great relief.

You can pummel me with as many horror stories or media accounts as you like.

I am ME, & I like that.

Interestingly, he hasn't replied as yet. I can only assume his parents have disconnected the internet...
