L.MARTIN's definitions
Many talented people are very smart and good at what they do.Unfortunately they're very dumb about everything else...especially money.Don King knows this about fighters when he walks them into a conference room...has an assistant
open a briefcase with 100grand in it...and tells the fighter it's his as an advance for signing on with him.You've never seen that much money before.Of course-as your career takes off-you begin to realize that his "management fees" make the taxes look small.This does'nt just happen to atheletes.

Bill Gates...or Terry Semel...or Barry Diller...wants to "take a meeting"with you.He offers you 100 million for your company ...and "total control" before you even sit down. You try to avoid choking on your coffee.All those years in your cubicle at 80 grand a year.Of course you bite...and watch helplessly as you find that "total control" means you can leave work early on Friday.His henchmen then take your baby and turn it into a multi-billion dollar market leader...or more likely destroy
it before it destroys them.Classic DON KING MOMENT.

Get the MARRIAGE mug.The reality that the modern American female does'nt have sex unless there is money involved.Such economy has always existed...but has been made more widely available to more women of varying degrees of savvy by that great class-leveling tool called:THE INTERNET.
If a woman is even barely attractive("6" or higher) she's:
1)Acting a/o directing a/o producing a/o selling porn.
2)Has a website(s) to that effect.
3)Is on numerous "modeling" sites.
4)Is on numerous "escort" sites.
5)Is on a coupla' porn casting agency sites.
6)Owns the casting agency.
7)Is stripping.
8)Earning money doing anything from "hot bod-bikini contests"...to repping for a liqour company at local bars...to being a spokesmodel for online gaming companies...to being the calendar/booth girl for import-tuner aftermarket car companies.
9)Got some guy(s) paying for anything from dinner...to rent
...to college...to cars...to real estate in her name...to
whatever the market will bear.
The maximum effective age band is between 18 and 35...much like a pro-ballplayer. Such gamesmanshp is no longer the province of the usual suspects...THEY'RE ALL DOING IT...because they can.
This new economic paradigm dovetails perfectly with the NEO-FEMINIST concept that as long as the money ends up in a womans pocket...anything goes.Women now define,re-define,and profit from their sexuality."WHORE" is no more an insult than two brothas' callin' each other "nigga"...And is usually delivered as a back-handed compliment from one woman to another in envy at ones ability to "game it" better.
This economy also weaves perfectly into the "traditional" legal/governmental set-up...in that even a most casual glance at the legal system finds women attorneys,judges,and politicians in abundance...Thus providing the institutional basis for protecting & bolstering this "new" economy.Yes,we are truly ... "a nation of laws and not of men."
