I wish to state something about sex crimes:

By way of introduction to this topic, I attended a small private school in Bucks County, PA named Solebury School. To make a long story short, there was a great deal of abuse perpetrated on the campus, a boarding and day school, over 70 years, including acts perpetrated by one of the four founders of the school.

Since I was at the school for grades 7-12, was very involved in many activities and athletic teams, had a family member who was a department head for four years, and was generally affable, I was selected to be the moderator of a private Facebook group which contains many of the survivors, male and female, of this potboiling mess. They required an individual who could be objective, knowledgeable, and understanding on many levels, while not having been involved in the horrors.

A Grand Jury was convened in 2015 and spent two years interviewing witnesses and perpetrators under oath. The report, issued in 2017, is horrific. If you would like to read it, please PM me.

What I wish to say is that all of these sex crimes: rape, incest, pedophilia, ephebophilia, coercion via blackmail, and all the others, are ongoing in every strata of society at a rate which is for the most part, inconceivably high to most people. If you have a frank discussion with almost any female, she can relate frightening stories about an uncle, a neighbor, a teacher or professor, a guy in a store or doctor’s office (including but not limited to the physician), or anywhere. Perhaps, luckily, nothing happened but it’s inescapable and noticeable to anyone paying attention.

When all these stories about Epstein and the others started coming out, I was not at all surprised and certainly not shocked. And it’s omnipresent.

I leave you with this: in fertility clinics, often times the male is asked to produce his sperm for artificial insemination. In the private room which contains in general a DVD player with various pornography videos, magazines of various types which include Boy Scout and Girl Scout publications, as well as teen mags. Think about that for a minute. Then consider how often the docs were told that the donor couldn’t get off on what would be effective for many of us so-called normies. And it’s all just OK with the staff and the docs. Business as usual.

As far as I’m concerned, this situation is one of those: “ Look to your left…now look to your right…” existences.

Now do Eric Swalwell

Now do Eric Swalwell

He was. He was trying to minimize Swillwell's "alleged" rapes with a verbose version of, "Everybody does it, so anything Swillwell may have done is no big deal."

I haven't ventured over to Earl's Island, but I'm guessing more than a few are posting @#$% like, "Why is Swalwell catching Hell but not Trump?" or "We took down Swalwell in just two days because we are different and have standards!"

BTW, I saw the latter on FB yesterdays and pointed out that Swillwell had actually been called out two weeks ago, and unlike Trump's false accuser, the women accusing Swillwell haven't changed the substance of their stories every time they retell it.
