"Our modern revelation may be a depressing revelation, but at least it is a demythologizing revelation. If the world is terrible, at least we know that our fathers were fools to think otherwise, and that everything they believed and cherished was a lie, or at best superstition" (Hilary Putnam, Human Face, p.136).
"If we believe in the creative effect of contact and collision, connection and exchange, then we require a medium, a way of writing which will live with the impact and conflict of communication between ideas" (Myerson, Rhetoric, Reason and Society, 1994:4).

That is scary. That's exactly what I thought when I watched the movie: that the media went absolutely nuts with the McMartins. It was worse that the OJ Simpson mess, and OJ was a celebrity!
The people that I really felt sorry for the most were the poor children. They were perfectly fine little kids, and they were almost tricked into believing that they had been molested, or in the case of the Johnson boy, it was really his father who had molested him and not the young man. Those children were scarred for life for no good reason at all.
