american employers steal 3 times the amount of money from their employees that is lost due to shoplifting, bank robberies, computer hacks, etc., put together.
this theft is often in the form of hours worked without pay, unpaid overtime, unpaid benefits, additional job duties added without additional pay during layoffs, etc.
most employees never recover these stolen wages. even for those that eventually do, it can take years.
as of this writing, more than 1,700 priests, nuns, and other authority figures within the catholic church are reported to have sexually abused children. and those are just the children within the past 60 years or so, and only the perpetrators that have become public.
the church itself has existed for almost 2,000 years. when do you think the abuse started?
american entertainer elvis presley preferred 14-year-old girls as sexual partners. his managers would procure 3 or 4 at a time, and tell their parents that they were going to a pajama party hosted by presley. he seldom had intercourse, but would have the girls take off all of their clothes so that he could touch them.
presley's ex-wife, priscilla, began living with him from the time that she was 14. presley only married her under pressure from his management and record company. as soon as she became pregnant, he never had sex with her again.

out of every 1,000 rapes in the u.s., only 310 are reported to police. why?
some ideas:
that's right - only 6 out of every 1,000 rapists serve time.
some ideas:
- because justice department statistics show that only 57 of those 310 reports will lead to an arrest.
- of those 57, only 11 will get referred to prosecutors.
- of those 11, only 7 will lead to a felony conviction.
- of those 7 convicted rapists, only 6 will serve time.
