It reminds me of Michael Jackson. "Oh, they wanted to be touched." Maybe they did. But not in the shower or in the bed. These couple of interviews with Sandusky make me sick to my stomach.

The thoughts of the world seem to be in a cesspool without any hope of being washed clean. I so agree. The thoughts of the world seem to be in a cesspool without any hope of being washed clean.

I, too, confused a report about Egypt with one on the Occupy protests and thought it alarming I could not tell the difference. But more importantly, you point to a very real bias -- because homosexuality is viewed by so many only in terms of sex, when a boy is raped many squirm and presume the boy must also be gay -- and if he is, he could not be raped. The attacks on one of the victims in this case demonstrate just how readily people will demonize a target of abuse, rather than confront the troubling possibility that they or their own children could be potential targets.
