Many people's livelihood, at the very bottom rung of the income ladder,
may depend on this
industry. But to call them "decent people" ... sorry ... they are no
better than a bunch of
crack cocaine dealers standing on a street corner trying to justify
their business by claiming
they need the money to feed their children. They make their money by
annoying people and
taking advantage of the weak-minded and the elderly.
