Entry: A Tale of Two Normans: Podhoretz and Finklestein Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/a_tale_of_two_normans_podhoretz_and_finklestein#8009 Post contents: @KIrt I am glad that you are happy inside a hyerarchy. it is a very comforting feeling knowing where you belong in the scheme of things. That is, when those on top are not corrupted. Like what happened those children, and their parents, who were molested by priests, their superior in the hyerarchy, and then got to see how the bishops, the superiors of the priests, instead of doing justice, hushed it up, enjoining them to keep silence. The problem with a hyerarchy, if you are in the bottom rungs, is that it is those on the upper rungs who define what is right and wrong,and lo and behold, it somehow works out that those in the bottom rungs are the ones at fault. Basically it is like dealing with only one buyer and seller, and when you buy, it is the person who sells to you who appraises the goods, and when you sell, it is the buyer again who appraises. It is because of corruptions like this that rape victims are said to have "seduced" their rapists, who are themselves thus free of blame. Sent at: 2008 05 15
