Well for one thing I doubt crimes of this nature would even be mentioned in the 40's as to not offend people's sensibilities. It would go down as one of those horrid crimes where the details cannot be mentioned in a family newspaper.

Now I am aware of baby rapings in South Africa where some superstition says sex with a virgin can cure AIDS but I haven't heard of many baby rapings here. The truth is disugusting enough, it does not need embellishment

I have called the person responsible evil, you call him a nutcase. Then you get on your soap box and make an assumption.

Let me play the guessing game, you are frightened to death of the incredible surge of kidnappings and child assaults in the news lately, even when the stats show no real noticable rise is such monstrosities over the last few years. Did you stay out of the water last summer with the "upswing" in the amount of shark attacks too?

On second thought, the above may be a bit unfair. I just chafe under the ultra righteous who cannot see that their concerns about the state of moral decay of our society tends to come off as a personal wish to be right rather than their wish for that decay to reverse. Presentation is key. You won't convince me(ironically you didn't even need to in this case) by calling me stupid and thumping your chest about how you see the evil and I am somehow implicitly evil for not recognizing it.

I don't think you are evil for not noticing it, just brainwashed.

The classic thing about your response is that you seem equally disgusted with someone openly religious, say, a preacher, and with a child rapist.

That, to me, says it all.

Your value system is culled from a bunch of sociology textbooks written by people like Kinsey, the academic child molester.

You swallowed whole the garbage fed you in high school and college, by liberal atheists, and, for your graduate education, you studied TV shows like Saturday Night Live, where you learned it was OK to ridicule people who believe in God.

So you are fluent with the Relativists Creed: "Hey, all societies are like this, more or less. There has always been this sort of thing. Society is not getting worse, you just understand it better. Especially since there is 24/7 news on the cable."

You have mastered the lesson.
