>>the idea that some people want to protect children from the people that assault them and from the people who systematically protect those that assault defenseless children just doesn't register in your big, vast, universe swallowing brain, does it? -lol-<< What doesn't register is why some people still can't grasp that the behavior of a small percentage of individuals within a group or institution should not equal a condemnation of the entire institution or group itself. I thought the blacks and Jews did a pretty good of explaining to the ignorant and uneducated why the actions of a small percentage of people within any race, religion, institution etc... doesn't mean that all the people within that race, religion, institution are bad. I guess some people simply lack the intelligence to understand it conceptually and will continue to condemn entire institutions, religions, races etc... for the actions of a very small percentage within them. I also can't understand why some people seem so obsessed with protecting Catholic children from priests, but don't seem to give a rats ass about the equal probabilities among rabbis, clerics, ministers etc... and even higher probabilities in the public sector. Oh wait a minute. I'm lying, I do understand that one. It's because they hate the Catholic church and its teachings and want to discredit and destroy it, but don't really care enough about the kids to attack and condemn others equally no matter where the abuse and cover ups occur. That is what I object to, but it has been clear for a long time you lack the intelligence or intellectual honestly to understand either point or learn the facts.
