The problem there isn't what she does with her money but that you let a crackwhore watch your kids.

Ah, you made my point exactly! Bravo! (Excellent discernment!)

It's YOUR philosophy that says: Life is way too short to waste it investigating the spending habits of every babysitter I might want to utilize. I'll just trust the nature of business evolution: those babysitters that spend their profits stupidly will cease to exist shortly.

Whereas MY philosophy says we should take note of the major players funding the other side's agenda...and likewise we should refrain from funding the coffers of "crackwhores" (to use your term)--corporate & otherwise.

So, how does it feel to fund the crackwhores of corporate America & then wonder why our culture is running down hill?

Problem with your philosophy is what's a "major player"? If the convenience store clerk where I buy gas where's a Dean button do I need to go elsewhere?

My point is that if she's a crackwhore she'll die, I just don't want her dieing in a way that makes my life difficult. You shouldn't leta crackwhore watch your kids, but buying jeans from her is OK if they're good jeans and she doesn't charge too much.
