“If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” Adolf Hitler
Is he right? What if the media doesn't know any better? What if they do?
What do YOU believe about Modern Day Slavery?
Fact: There are more slaves now than ever before in history.
Fact: It is all over the world and is one of the most rapidly growing crime along with the sale of drugs and guns.
Fact: We need to wake up to the truth and educate ourselves and others about the years of misinformed perceptions about prostitution.
Do you believe slavery ended with the emancipation proclamation? 
Do you? Do you live as though you do?

There are so many that the city’s residents have, for at least 20 years, vehemently maintained that they have "more strip clubs per capita than any municipality in America."

What do you believe about sex trafficking? Has the media and Hollywood effected your perception?
Hollywood produces an attitude about the value of women. They glorify prostitution. They value women as sex objects. Intelligent women tend to be ugly and grumpy. Sexy women are beautiful and must want sex.
Why do we lock up 12 + year old girls and send John home with a slap on the wrist? Why is she a prostitute and he is called John?
Why have we made pimps cool?
Is it okay for a man to rape a woman dressed sexy? How about a woman who is dressed in something normally considered not sexy? How sexy is too sexy to be dressed?
When is someone too young to be a prostitute?
Seems the world has gone mad. Our perceptions are twisted and skewed. We don't think twice about who is on a screen....baring themselves. We assume they want to display their bodies. It is their choice. Yet, strippers, porn mags, and red light districts are filled with little girls who wanted a normal life. First dates and proms, Ice cream cones and trips to the mall for new clothes. Time to hang out with friends. As a society we view them as dirty deserving and desirous of ....attention. We view it as their choice. Not that they were chosen.
