The same of rapes, murders, adultery, etc. Only when we are the victims, losers, or hapless targets of such enterprises do we think of how terrible such behaviors are. I know there are people who are good and decent and would abhor such behaviors whether they were directed at them or not. But these kind of people very seldom gain power in the social structure. These good qualities usually burn out in the necessities of ambitious politics.
Innocence has no place in the character of the ruling elite.
Seriously, I believe that on occasion there have been such incidents staged to inoculate the public against future genuine expose. This kind of event occurs when some woman may come forward and make allegations against some prominent public figure, and then, through vigorous, intelligent investigatory work, the allegations are proven false or are recanted by the thoroughly discredited woman who initially made the complaint. I was just looking around in here where I'm trying to write. I'm at the end of a hallway that is littered with other inmate bodies other than my own. It is smoky and dimly lighted.
