So I see this story on American Idol's David Hernandez and apparently, at one time, he was a stripper. You know what I say to that? Who Fricking cares? It is, after all, the past, so leave it at that! All I see is the now. He is a good singer, so let the past rest.
Hell, I don't think that anyone made that much of a fuss when Miss Traci Lords (probably better known in her pornographic movies), had made it as being a B-list movie actress. I think that there was more controversy when the adult film industry found out that she was underage when she first started out (which I feel was wrong to fake her age, but everyone makes mistakes, but after 18 years old, it doesn't matter to me).
I don't knock any of these industries from their past.
David and Traci made their own decisions (whether legal or not), but I don't judge them for that. I look at them as the person they are now and their personalities when approached. If I were to meet any one of these two back when they were in these perfessions, I would treat them the same as any person I would say hello to now.
I would not categorize them with inappropriate names. I would categorize them as HUMAN.
Don't get me wrong, I am guilty of being judgmental in the past as well, but I'm not perfect...and neither is anyone else for that matter.....

Yea, everyone has things in their past, but it is their abilities and efforts in the now that are important really. Besides, being a stripper, we know he can already dance and put on a show..
