Ok, lets try a different tact.
Would you agree that today’s society is more permissive (in certain areas) than it was 10 years ago?
Presumably, you would say, yes.
Would you agree that society is even more permissive (in those same areas) in the past 5 years, than it was in the 5 years prior to that?
Again, you would most likely agree.
<Now for the clincher>
Would you agree that each time the bar gets lowered,and a perpertrator of such wanton behavoir gets idolized, it makes it that much easier to kasher abbhorent behavior?
If you are on Team Yiddishkeit like the rest of us, you would again need to agree.
So, now do you see why letting DSK and Ms. Amamnda off scott free sends such a bad message?
The legality of “guilt” or “innocence” is besides the point. Its a matter of who do we cheer for, and who do we condenm?
What we (at least, me) are talking about here is the cheapening of the most sublime human interaction, one that has been defaced by today’s society.
We of Team Yiddishkeit need to take a stand. This sublime human interaction (can’t get more specific, but ha’maven yo’vin) is not a sport, and not a powerplay.
Its much more than that, and we need to treat it as such. And by giving people like DSK and Amanda the green light, we take this sublime gift and drag it thru the mud.
