   Do we think she's sold out?  Of course not.  Would someone else out there   
   accuse her of selling out?  Probably.

   Whether or not you're selling out all depends on who you ask.   
      
   Heck, several years ago Mom said I'd be selling out if I used tampons   
   (since then she's realized I'm old enough to get cervical cancer and now   
   recommends pap smears instead of worrying about my hymen).
