Methinks you should take up people watching. It's fascinating.

I don't see what's so 'cunning' about the majority of rapists. Most of them are probably quite the opposite of phenomenally clever. The few who I'd call "cunning" go to extremes that are quite beyond the scope of most rapists.
Quote:They have no feelings of sympathy or conscience for their victims other than to act out their violent sexual urges. There's no shades of gray here. They're pure evil.
Rape is a regrettable thing to have done to another. Rapists can be afraid of themselves, terrified of this frenzy they could not control... and many feel empathy for the pain of the other victim. They can reject this portion of themselves, and work to fight it.
The real shame of rape... is that nobody wins. They're no more evil than those who drive drunk. This is not a world of black and of white.
Really... most are average people who messed up badly.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
