scum

how can i answer the question put in the comments of the previous post? my friend [the gardener] suffers constantly from the kidnapping, rape and murder of his daughter, fifteen years ago. no matter how much scorn we heap on those who take advantage of the weak, the liar has his way with some men and they rape, abuse and murder those who cannot defend themselves. everyday, there are men who through and because of [perhaps] their own powerlessness, seek to trample those who are weaker than they, so that they can feel more powerful. i really can't think of why one would committ this type of crime. sometimes, i feel ashamed to be male and must remember that there are many of us who could not do these things. while good men do nothing, these things will continue to happen. yet just what is it, that we can do that is meaningful and will work?
