There's the rub. We are so accustomed to thinking that anyone who is brilliant--as is Polanski in his field--must of course be brilliant in the whole of their lives.

But that's not the way it works. Someone who has genius in one area may be stupid in another. Polanski is an extraordinary filmaker but he's an idiot to think that even decades later that there wouldn't be outrage that he raped an underage girl. It doesn't matter that that girl is a grown woman who has had the courage to move past what he did to her. It does matter that he committed a crime, and in the end, the piper must be paid.

Absolutely 100% correct. No amount of talent will ever outweigh the act of drugging and raping a 13 yr. old child.

Ha! no - I think you're safe!:D

Maybe if used as avatar an artist mention? courtesy thing. - I hardly ever do because I never know where stuff originates. But I just by chance linked to the artist this time and he/she asked for recognition. It's cool.

My daughter is only 2 so to help this hit home for me I used the first 13 year old girl I know that came to mind...

My neighbor's daughter Hillary is 13. If her dad and those of us who are proud to be his friend found out that someone gave her alcohol and drugs and then had sex with her/sodomized her-

Well, let's just say we would get medieval on his arse...

Anyone who signed this petition isn't thinking clearly out of loyalty for their talented filmmaker friend...

Extradite the bum and have him serve his sentence.

Yours truly,

A liberal
