Are you a prostitute?

Hello All,
   Once upon a time, one of my Bosses called everyone with a job a prostitute.   I thought about this long and hard and could only equate that word with people who sought out money for sexual favors.   Below are 2 of the definitions of prostitutes:

1. work of prostitute: the act of engaging in sexual intercourse or performing other sex acts in exchange for money, or of offering another person for such purposes
  [Sounds like a couple of spouses I know, not that I am judging]
2. misuse of talent for gain: the use of a skill or ability in a way that is considered unworthy, usually for financial gain.

    Well the first definition, while being the most obvious, the second applies to anyone of us.    I don’t even think that misuse of your talent should be a part of the definition.   It should read as follows:
The use of a skill or ability in a way that is for financial gain. 

   In a nutshell if you use any part of your being in the pursuit of financial gain you are in effect a prostitute.    Don’t we all misuse our talents in one way or another and I’m not rationalizing here but think about it.
When ever you have done something you considered ethically or morally questionable either at your own behest or because you have been requested “ Ordered” to do so by someone higher up, you belong to this club.    Now I think that if we didn’t hold this Puritanical attitude about morality and family structure we would be much better off.   Why shouldn’t a man or a woman be able to sell sexual pleasure for a living?    Some of the laws we have on our books are arcane and just flat out stupid!   Did you know in certain area’s in Michigan if you curse aloud in public you can be arrested!   WTF…
    I won’t even begin to start on marijuana, for those of you who have not seen the movie Refer Madness, watch it, it’s quite entertaining but has no basis in fact.    Drunks kill off more people in a month than MJ users do in 5 years.   It all comes down to profits and who makes them, many states have legalized the use of “ Medical MJ ”, but you can still be arrested by Federal Government Agents.
    I say legalize & regulate both of these endeavors as they both were at one time and still are in several countries.   Sexual purchase is Legal in Canada and Australia right this minute.   As for MJ, can’t the US be progressive and ahead of the curve just once!  
    We are losing our grip and foresight on the future due to over medication of “Legal” pharmaceuticals.   If we are gonna lose it I say I wanna do it with a joint in one hand and a red head on the other arm, let’s all grow up!    Not to mention the new tax revenue!    Lumber Barons no longer need to fear hemp, so lets all go get stoned and if they can’t take a joke Fuck ‘em.
AMF…
