Patrick- Pardon the soapbox, but read another Thai story recently that truly saddened me.
Couple of magazine journalists went to Thailand to do an expose on the teenage girls sent to the cities and resorts, sold into sex slavery. When they found out from a "madam" how little in US$ is would cost to "buy out" a girl's contract, they did so for one girl, and returned her to her home village to "freedom". Imagine their reaction when they discovered that her MOTHER had sent her to the madam, and was getting a percentage of her earnings, which helped support the family. <s-i-g-h> -Ben > Good one Ben!
