lox, i am glad that what i said you could make sense out of.

i know what i mean, but find it hard sometimes to put it into words that make sense to anyone else.

yes, if you have no evidence that someone is a rapist, no suspitions(?) then why not trust that person.

the same for getting in a car of a friend of a friend, or even a taxi driver. that person may appear sober but may be over the limit and dangerous.

people are good at covering up their true personalites. apart from trusting our own senses or vibes about people, we are all in the dark.
often the people that are the most dangerous are the ones who engender trust quickly.
the only time someone can ever be held responsible is if they know of someones history and still take the risk. but i wouldn't blame them should anything happen. it is in our nature to want to make people better, to change them for the better.

i hope this makes what i said earlier a little clearer.
take care all
