[SWAF-Potluck] Rent U :^)

[Andy Sorfleet]

I'm sorry Lux.

I don't understand. What exactly is political about classes for sex
workers? Don't most of the potluckers attend or teach classes?

I'm also not sure that warning massage workers about massage busts -- even
in other cities -- is about politics per se.

Perhaps Ki, the moderator, will weigh in. :^)

Thanks for your comments! :^)
