I'm not a big conspiracy fan and generally averse to hyperbole in any media context. However, I agree with Robby that a different set of rules, a different kind of justice, seem to apply to the rich and powerful than to the rest of us. And I agree with Mary that many lives have been ruined or, at the very least, made worse by all the brouhaha. Where I respectfully disagree, is this adverse impact seems to be affecting victims far more than the innocent bystanders who just happened to hang out with Epstein following his conviction for solicitation of prostitution, or whatever the minor charge to which he plead guilty. Ghislaine got a puppy. I'm happy for her.
