eye for an eye

--> Every time we hear about a child abuse sex scandal it puts us both in a funk. I know how it feels to carry the secret, the shame, for myself, and for my soon to be x-husband. We also know how it feels to tell those you think will help and they don't. When it hits the sports world, it hits home even more.

I already have an aversion to macho jocks and obsessed football fans like the ones who were more concerned with the coaching staff at U of Miami and Penn State than the boys who were raped and changed for life. Who the fuck cares who replaces Paterno? Is that really your first thought jocko?

How can justice be served for those boys? It won't change those affected to hate, castrate, or incarcerate the molesters. I know that. It's much bigger than that. We have to change our minds as a society. Why was it acceptable for these allegations to be dismissed? Why can school systems hide behind a bureaucratic infrastructure? They have established rules of testing, monitoring and reporting students financially and academically. How could their systems be so advanced for students and so lacking for coaching staff? Well, I know it's because the athletic program brings the university a gluttony of money, fame, and pride.  I hope enrollment at Penn State is heavily affected. I hope Jerry Sandusky goes to jail. I've heard what happens to people like him. It's a small sliver of punishment, but I'm a firm believer in an 'eye for an eye' style of justice.

The little angel on my shoulder says, NO, that's not the way. Only love will heal. Only kindness will reveal a solution. But, right now, I'd like to shoot that man in the asshole so that it comes out the other side leaving him dick-less and full of anal fissures for life.
