If I had such deep pockets that I could afford a team of lawyers to pay them off, there is no way now that I could be tempted into this shit. When I was younger and more shy around women, I wonder if that would have been true?
I wonder how much of this behavior taps into something about our animal nature. Regardless, it isn't right and shouldn't be tolerated.
I think I am more disappointed about Franken than any of the others so far. But my reaction to any of them isn't immediately to want to throw them away as inhuman scum, even if it sometimes feels like that. I think people sometimes need a second chance but I'm glad there is a justice system in place to impose penalties. Now if we can just get it to listen to the women who do the complaining and do something with all those unexamined rape kits.
