Familial Pride

You should be more proud of your daughter if she’s a hooker than if she’s a “public” school teacher.

You should be more proud of the cousin who’s a meth manufacturer than the one who’s a cop.

As long as neither of them commit theft, aggression, or fraud.

The hooker and meth cooker don’t automatically violate anyone’s life, liberty, or property the way the kinderprison teacher and the cop do. There’s nothing in those first two careers that necessitates it, while there is when you choose the life of tax junkie and archator.

Yeah, I know, it’s a painful truth to face, but it’s still the truth.
