Escorts & Dyer Street Hookers
The on-going public corruption scandal has been a plague on El Paso for going on years now. Anyone connected to public corruption is going to lose and lose big in the next election.
The people haven't had a chance to take out their aggravation over the betrayal of the scandal yet and I'm betting they are going to be chomping at the bit to go and vote against anyone connected. In fact, more often than not, the best way to get people to vote in an election is to give them something to vote against.
The Public Corruption Scandal was about a violation of trust. El Paso is tribal and it takes a long time for El Pasoans to trust someone. When they do, you have a friend for life. Which explains why El Paso has so many legacy elected officials.
So a violation of that trust will echo in the voting booth. People are genuinely angry about the wide-reaching scandal.
But what I think people are most upset about isn't so much that there are people on the take.
Its the fact that they are accused of selling out for such a small amount. Its almost offensive that the people of El Paso were sold at a discounted rate, like something at Big Lots.
For some reason or another, people don't look at escorts in the same way that they do a hooker on Dyer. At their root, they are the same thing, whether its a high-priced call girl that accompanies a man for a night on the town before servicing him in some hotel room, or a Dyer street hooker turning tricks in a car while the engine is still running.
A ho is a ho.
But what separates them in our collective subconsciousness is price. Sure, we know that just because something is more expensive doesn't necessarily mean it is better quality, but we are conditioned to associate price with value.
And that is what is at the heart of the scandal. Sure, we joke about corrupt politicians all the time, but when we are slapped in the face with a dose of reality and we realize that we don't have high-priced escorts, we allegedly had cheap-ass Dyer street hookers.
Either way, we are the ones getting screwed....and paying for it...
