[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1660008, member: 2189"] The recent revelations in both the Duggar and Hastert stories has fueled the fires in such venues as this thread but if the focus is only on what these people represent and to bash that seems to me to miss a far greater and more concerning point and that is the abuse of children as whole. Just reading [URL='http://news.yahoo.com/child-sex-abuse-claims-shake-un-revelations-continue-042336279.html'][COLOR=#ff0000][B]this piece[/B][/COLOR][/URL] where the UN is facing a child abuse crisis but this follows another crisis in the Rotherham child abuse scandal in England, the crisis in the Vatican such as the recent Vatican official with child porn on computers and of course we continue to hear of cases emerging in our own society to the point that what use to shock us has become just another ho-hum event.

It's to the point I even have empathy for good people of faith who live among this yet pull out their own hair in frustration over it. What has happened when the very institutions we are told serve as a champion of children ultimately turn on those very children in the first place? Many in the worse way possible. Some would argue we need to return to god and using the ideal of Jesus, I'll concede there is nothing I can even put my finger on that someone could twist to justify child sexual abuse, seems to me Jesus argued against this, but the irony that an institution that claims to represent his name and ideal on earth is among the several institutions caught up in all of this. And not to pick on church institutions but gov't as well and with that the education system. To me, this begs the question, WHY IS THIS ALL HAPPENING? jmo [/QUOTE]
