As to Hooters, if you haven't tried it, don't knockers it. <g> Seriously, it takes all kinds to make a world -- how dull it would be if every woman wanted to be a beauty queen, or a SV corporate executive, or a stay-at-home mom. I glad there are places in our country where you can be happy, and I'm glad there are places where Hooters waitresses feel appreciated. Or do you feel that you have a handle on the one and only right way to be a woman in America today? (Actually, that's pretty much a liberal disease, IMO, the assumption that what is right for you must be right for everybody. Makes for a mighty poor, dull society.)

Yes, I'd say there was far more dignity with far less strings attached in working as a waitress. Even under the closest scrutiny and legal challenges by supposed "womens rights" groups, Hooters has proven to have one of the strongest anti sexual harassment policies in effect of any company in the U.S.. In addition, the waitresses take-home pay for four shifts a week is competitive with that of middle level management in corporations requiring a graduate degree and a 70 hour work week. This "affair with the most powerful man in the world" comes with a lot of liabilities. There is already one dead former intern and had not Monica saved the blue dress, she would have been just another "lying, golddigging slut" who was out to get poor little Billy. Until she'd revealed the existence of the dress, he was already in the process of complete denial and scorched earth character assassination. I'm interested though. So you actually believe that it's okay to swap sex for money as long as the john is rich and powerful, but not to show some cleavage for poor working class slobs? Or is the punchline of that old joke, "We already know what you are. We're just haggling over the price?" actually true?

Give it up Michelle you are arguing with a redneck lifer, a beer swilling lout that couldn't make it on the outside, another form of government welfare as far as I am concerned. The armed forces today is largely comprised of these good old boys. The government houses them feeds them and tells them what to think and do and in return have ready cannon fodder. I can remember the nightly race riots at the EM club, if you like living like a second class citizen a service career is for you that is why most of us couldn't wait to get our time in and get the hell out. To them Hooters is just a re-creation of the booty houses and sleazy lifestyles the service towns are famous for only on a much higher scale. You might want to visit Oceanside and get an idea of a service town and the good old boys on a night out. Maybe it's changed since my days there but if it hasn't picture this as one of the better towns of it's kind.
