man I read that so long ago, but I don't remember this....
The only thing I took away from reading it in elementary school was the discovery that my english teacher couldn't identify a pedophile if given a map, a copy of the criminal indictment for pedophilia and a big flashing neon sign that reads "pedophile"...
whenever I encounter people like that it makes me wonder if they're pedos....
I think this specific one is more down to shifting cultural attitudes, but yeah broadly I certainly agree. Some people...
