Harvey Weinstein - WDYT?

It is possible that this kind of abusive behaviour has been going on for many years, probably long before Weinstein came on the scene. I was just watching a video about Shirley Temple, who we all know as a famous child star; but when you look at some of the roles she was cast in in the early movies, it really gives a person pause to wonder how many of the child stars have also gone through things that should never have happened with them.

Today's Washington Post had an interesting article about Mia Farrow's son, Ronan, writing the exposure of Harvey Weinstein, for The New Yorker. Ronan has sided with his mother in her accusations against Woody Allen in the equally high-profile sex abuse case. Woody apparently got away with it. I wonder if he would today?

The Weinstein effect. It has gone global. Abuse of power is being exposed in many countries.

All this unraveling of what people in a position of power have been doing makes me happy I've lived a dull routine everyday life.

Yes, Shirley Temple was cute and talented, but I watched the video and some of it is....creepy.

I've also heard about pedophiles getting their licks from that show "Toddlers & Tiaras", (I don't know if it's still on the air).
