This is off topic, but I didn't want to start its own thread. With all the people coming out and saying they were groped lately, I had a different perspective about one of them than I would have had before. I read about Bush senior who allegedly groped a teenager in 2003 (I think.) At the very end of the article it mentioned that his family and friends said it was because of his age, condition and Parkinson's.
I do not condone groping, harrassing or anything of that nature and I want to be clear about that. Earlier this year, my grandpa died. My grandma died about 3 years before him. My grandpa was a very soft spoken, kind, funny and about as good of a man I can think of. After my grandma died, my grandpa started behaving differently. His personality changed drastically and some of his actions changed. He was in his 80s and we got a phone call saying he got arrested. He was at a grocery store and in the parking lot he stopped a couple and asked the husband if he would trade his wife to have sex with him in exchange for a bag of potatoes (which he didn't have.) After this he was diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer's. It was clear my grandpa wasn't being anything like grandpa. Although we kind of joked that grandpa was losing it, I know my dad took it hard and was embarrassed. I started to do research on dementia and Alzheimer's and learned hyper-sexuality and drastic behavior changes are symptoms of those illnesses and common. I never knew that and never recalled reading about this before. I told my dad about it and explained why grandpa changed. Having scientific research that gave answers to why he changed and it being a common symptom made my dad feel better.
Anyway, just thought I'd share. Some old guys are creepers, no doubt. Some of them suffer from advance aging. I encourage you, if you don't know already to read about dementia and Alzheimer's (specifically the hyper-sexuality part.) They are a bitch of a disease.
