This is called - no easy answers part two.
Yesterday Chuck and I saw Gone, Baby, Gone - new film out that is directed by Ben Affleck. It was well done movie that is about the abduction of a 4 year old. It is about much more than that, however and it had a number of plot twists in it. The hero of the movie "does the right thing" that ruined people's lives and probably made the basic situation worse.
He lost his girlfirend because of it - but he did the right thing.
Once again - no easy answers.
This movie was set in Boston and gave a view of its underbelly and the reality of people who are living careless and destructive lives and the reality of child molesters who do unspeakable things to innocent children. In the face of that evil - what is our responsibility or do we continue to trust the legal system and to live by the rule of law?
I have more questions than answers to any of this. It is a slippery slope when we take the law into our own hands, but are there times when the ends justifies the means?
I don't know.
It is a film that raises a lot of uncomfortable questions.

You make me want to see the movie! Normally I'm not up for anything where the premise is a missing preschooler, but I will check this out.
