Now, given the horrendous charges against financier Jeffrey Epstein, his name gets to be added to the “dishonor roll” too] ***** Casting couch sexual coercion is presently causing big shock and surprise in our sex-saturated society. The perfectly obvious is now becoming perfectly obvious. I guess that’s progress. At least society isn’t pretending anymore that rich white male, middle-aged Hollywood moguls abusing, exploiting, groping, and even raping... Read more
