		<description>&quot;&#039;Breaking society’s chains&#039; and losing control were what Sandusky did (if the crimes took place as alleged) while multiple victims never had any control to start with.&quot;

This girl no doubt is trying to &quot;break society&#039;s chains&quot; as you said. Sex columns in college papers and this passionate desire to break these chains are so pervasive to almost be cliche. It&#039;s such an obvious desire to be transgressive that I can&#039;t take people like her seriously (even though, I admit, many sadly do).

But I&#039;ll disagree on one point, Tom. Sandusky didn&#039;t lose control. In fact, if what he did was as extensive as we&#039;re finding out, the chilling fact is that he was in control, that he knew what he was doing, and that he fostered that perversion within himself for years. 

But you&#039;re right that it&#039;s the victims who have had no control from the start, all of which is unbelievably disturbing and depressing.</description>
