These hedonists danced the night away, oblivious to the danger signals around them. The first high wind that came along, the Depression, blew them away. Our current crop of beautiful people and celeb-wannabes will most likely fare no better in coming times. They make decent men ashamed to be part of the same species, much less the same sex. These sleazeballs are the dark underside of the human condition, the gangrene that infects a culture adoring money and power, the crawling things that slither out from under a rock.
Predators despoil and ruin.
They destroy lives. They use and manipulate a woman's nobler instincts, her kindness and compassion, her trust. As individuals, these fine specimens of humanity are anything but remarkable. The typical predator is shallow, usually lacking talent at anything not involving using and manipulating people. He is unstable, impatient, driven by immediate need, controlled by self-gratification, incapable of commitment.
