8. hello...a future?
wow, i honestly shouldn't have to explain it, but i guess since your name is "don" you are a man

i am not a man and like most women of our general age, i have experienced sexual harassment, it sort of came with the territory back then and it was invariably the case that women who got the cool high-paying jobs were married to, fucking, or the daughters of the powerful -- hence one of the reasons women without such contacts finally washed their hands of the feminist movement, since all it was doing was giving rich powerful men more avenues to place more family members and fucktoys in the great jobs that supposedly ALL of us were working toward

it's pretty obvious what foley offered, the right for the boys to keep on going and achieve the bright futures their early achievement put within reach, the trouble is -- as any woman victimized by a sexual harasser can explain to you -- once you have been harassed and complained instead of complying, YOU are the trouble-maker, YOU are the one w. no future

do you seriously think the boy who complained to rodney alexander will ever get another job in politics? please, it is to laugh

victims of sexual harassment are not whores, they don't get any goodies when they submit, all they get is the right to keep working toward what they have EARNED

those who don't submit have no future and will end up in a back lot somewhere selling used cars

that's what foley was offering

what's sad is that foley would be put in prison if the boys were 15, yet the destruction of an entire future is just as bad when you are 16 or 18 or 21, people this powerful have NO business hitting on people who can't say no because of their power

it may not be illegal but he has poisoned their entire future

i wish i believed in goddess because she would have a special place to fry his creepy ass

there are lots of young people who are interested in sexual adventures with older people but keep it out of the freaking work place, how hard is that

jeff gannon is actually way less offensive to me, he was willing to sell, and the white house was willing to buy, quite a different situation from a young boy who will now never get his dream job because "oh he's a disloyal tattletale, you know"

ok, sorry, rant over
