  No the only thing that stands between me and child molestation is my morality, but that also stands between me and money and power.

    I see where you are coming from, but I don’t think money and power as a sole criteria automatically makes someone a child molester, though I am guessing they are a very well represented demographic in the child molestation sector.

      Yeah, honestly, I wasn’t really trying to establish a cause and effect. More that the out-of-control wealth disparity appears to have enabled a large number of vile, evil scum to rise up the top.

        Well, those things I do agree with.

  I think it’s more likely that those willing to ruthlessly abuse, exploit and manipulate others and the physical world in terms of resources are also much more likely to be the type of person who’s sexuality revolves around those same things. These guys are pedophiles sure but I’m sure they’re no loving, kind and compassionate lovers to the wives, girlfriends or paid companions. It’s a different kind of sadism. I think that “the only thing standing in the way” is that I have no desire for that money and power and that alone is protective, beyond that I don’t have access to it so I’m not at risk of being corrupted. The human race has a live affair with hierarchy and money is easiest way to feed that beast, and those who are the best at sacrificing their own to it win, and kids are an easy target.
