What makes, what defines a victim of a culture, a society or of a collective thought?
(A) Are they the ones, by their own free will choice not by necessity to defend or by being forced to defend; who jump right into a public spotlight alongside their accusers and the perps that are trying to hurt them in some way?
(B) Are they the ones, by their own free will choice, who launched themselves into positions strong enough and powerful enough to influence society?
How about 'none of the above'?
The real victims are all the folks that are not either one of the above and who live their lives privately and in their own small social circles. Who by that very need for right to quality of life through privacy, fall prey to a group such as those named in this article that have built up very powerful collective thought.
Or fall prey to an individual encouraging the imbalance of such thought as Chad Klinger of Carbondale.
Or fall prey to the affects of thoughts such as those of Brooks A. Mick, MD of Yorktown, VA.

A point made by the authors of 'Slums of Aspen' and missed by most readers; that seems to have fallen prey to the power of collective thought.
