Micheal Jackson , Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis all prove the country is willing to look the other way while you have sex with children if you are talented enough.
It was some f'ed up shit to watch that's for sure. And those are just 2 boys that came forward (and I guess Macauley as well).....I'm sure the number of boys he's diddled in his lifetime would have us all shellshocked.
In the physician world, we have ‘rules’ against this sort of manipulation. I think it was just accepted by some people to live a different life for a time. Sorry to the people who were hurt, I am hurting and sympathetic to those who had to deal with any such abuse in their lives. I hope it helps others with their situations, you are not alone.
I think that was a time of extreme denial for Americans. They grew up watching "I Love Lucy", "The Andy Griffith Show", "Leave It To Beaver", and at the tail end stuff like "Happy Days and "The Brady Bunch"...everyone was happy and smiling.....nobody thought bad things like that happened. Lots of bad shit was covered up to avoid embarrassment. The Catholic Church probably had quite a bit to do with that, too. That layer's off the onion now.
Not really. Not as long as scumbags like Epstein and possibly Dershowitz can have things sealed to hide them. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article227184299.html Just depends on who you are and how much value you have. Still the same onion.
It was actually a very strange time. Juxtaposed to this situation in question, did you ever watch or remember anything about that old HBO show that came out back in the early 90's about the West Memphis 3? They were convicted of molesting and murdering 3 little boys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Memphis_Three The show was called "Paradise Lost", there were a couple they did back when it first happened and then they followed up the case a couple years ago when they acquitted all of them. It was crazy watching the shows through the lens of back in the early 90s and then again now. How little and shaky the evidence was against the 3 boys back then, but they convicted them all and I think were planning to have the death penalty against one of them.
