If We Can't Trust Bill Cosby...

If we can't trust Bill Cosby, who can we trust?  I've loved him for what I believed was a funny and trustworthy man for as long as I can remember and it actually hurts to see him in this new light as a rapist.  There have been so many women who have come forth with their similar stories of how he drugged and raped them that we can't close our minds to the truth.  He's a despicable human being.  He isn't the man he portrays to us in his stage and T.V. shows.  Behind the mask is a man who should be in jail.

We often hear of serial killers, pedophiles, and wife beaters as being good neighbors, sons, and relatives.  Their families and neighbors saw only one side of what, underneath, was a monster.  We can all be fooled by people like this because they know when and how to show their evil side and when to put on a decent exterior.  It's so frightening to realize none of us really know another person.

My disappointment in Bill Cosby is immense.  My sympathy is first to the women he raped and then to the poor, troubled man he turned out to be.  What a waste of an otherwise brilliant human being.
