Ithaca is ultra-lib, hence that nickname, but it's got nothing on the big cities in terms of real evil. Trust me, I've lived near Ithaca for decades, and lived in or near big cities for decades before that.
There's no comparison.
That's not to excuse Ithaca, mind you. Just sayin', perspective. :)
Dunno. I’m sure that in the faculties of universities in Ithaca you could find several people ready to defend not only the right to have sex with a minor child but the suspect’s “rights” to sell their minor child into sexual slavery.
Liberal “philosophers” are pretty evil lot.
