well, i am misunderstood apparently, which is, i'm sure, my fault. but, just for the record, before the self righteous pontification gets out of hand, i was never saying that child abuse or sexual molestation is anything anyone should EVER make excuses for. i suppose at least part of what i was trying to say was that, unlike kakki, i try not to make my moral judgements based on things i read in some supermarket tabloid. i have no idea what happened between mr. polanski and this girl. i can think of reasons why BOTH of them might have cause to lie about what went on. but, bottom line, i wasn't there. were YOU kakki? was THAT the extra info you were alluding to but felt was too inapporpriate to share? you, behind the potted palm?
while there's certainly no shortage of people who can be morally certain over things they know nothing about, i'm proud not to be one of them. ah! supper time... ric
