What a Mensch, What a Mighty Good Mensch *...

Say what you will about Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes not captured on videotape, at least he did not kill his victims afterward and dismember their bodies....

It's easy to avoid movies like "Inglorius Basterds" and "Sex, Lies..." or "Pulp Fiction". I don't find such violence entertaining, and I think it debases our culture. Contributes, indirectly, to the disrespect of life, morals and good healthy living. Some people lap that up -- Weinstein sold his soul, but made his money.

(I think it's fair to say his career is now dead as the Las Vegas killer, who turned his entertainment fantasies into realities himself.)

It's harder to avoid reading these sordid details though, when it switches over from the entertainment subculture into today's hard news. It will be interesting now, to hear what Hillary Rodham Clinton and Michelle Obama say about their former friend. They will speak out, it's unavoidable.

If you are going to represent yourselves as role models for women and little girls, other than your own, then you better have some answers of why wealthy liberal men get a pass on their crimes, sins and hypocrisies, while we publicly scorn conservative men who do the same.

Hey, at least he didn't kill them and dispose of their bodies in pieces afterwards. If you're struggling with a personal defense, there's your starting point...
