As regards context, this was a discussion about Miller's play, the Crucible.. the theme was mass hysteria, and Miller's view on the McCarthy hearings. How is changing language to make the singular, most despicable crime acceptable behavior is not a remote aspect of the play. It was about mass hysteria and demanding that the accused prove their innocence. How pedophilia is used in that presentation is a head scratcher.
...sadly true....
