Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

  • The core point here is you are making a pedophile joke about someone who doesn’t deserve it. So fuck you. I’m not saying he deserves citizen of the year, but that’s a long way from being a punchline about raping a child.

    Everybody who was exploited as a child has issues. Britney Spears, Michael, etc have all been in show business since they should have been learning to print. Are they fucked up? You bet, but they never got a childhood so maybe we can cut them some slack.

    There are some protections now so Emma Watson, Daniele Radcliffe, Miley Cyrus had some protection, but those earlier generations had nothing.



  • Sure! That’s the great thing about being a private citizen. You can live your life, go on shows, go on private vacations etc. Because it’s your life and you can choose how to live it.

    If you are taking on a role of state leadership you don’t get to do those things.

    You have a privileged role with access to roles, and wealth, and information, but the trade off is that your life is not your own. Your health and relationships and connections are a matter of national interest. So you don’t get to slip off for a weekend without telling people where you’re going. And you don’t get to hide medical diagnoses and medical treatment.
