What continues to boggle my mind in all of this isn't just the people who do this shit, but all the people who cover for them while they're doing this shit. I would like to think that most people who have knowledge of something like this going on would report it to the appropriate authorities. (Of course, now we're all finding out that "the appropriate authorities" seem to actively cover this stuff up some significant portion of the time.) I would like to think that if a coworker of mine asked me to hide some of his nefarious shit, I would not only NOT hide the stuff, I'd be scanning copies of it then forwarding it to any and every authority that I thought would do something about it. This isn't freaking rocket science here! Have the moral compasses of the vast majority of humans suddenly gone completely haywire? Or have they long been haywire and I just didn't see it? I'm afraid I am becoming completely disillusioned.

Keepr1, I am sorry to tell you this. There are no safe places! There are no trust worthy officials! There are no benign politicians and 6 out of 7 cops are real bad at their job! So stop being disillusioned, Pick yourself up and get back in the fight. This is one of those fights where it is OK to die fighting and what is more, none of us can afford to lose this fight. If we lose, we lose our children!
