Can of Worms


Columnist Nicholas Kristoff has opened a can of worms regarding Woody Allen's and Mia Farrow's adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow's disclosures regarding what her father did to her as a 7-year old girl.  If you are squeamish about the sexual abuse of children, I suggest that you not read her recounting of what this esteemed movie maker and droll comedian did to her in their attic.

However, in a dispassionate way, I think Kristoff has given this story credence ... so please force yourself to get through it.  Then decide how we, as a society, should reduce (and punish) such aberrant behavior.  Or are we going to ignore it or even encourage it ... given our current permissive zeitgeist?

See: NY Times Editorial

If you are a regular reader of this blog, I think you can deduce how I feel about such conduct ... Woody Allen should no longer be able to get a woody.
