Yeah, I think Todd was corrupt to begin with. I think Dussander just took him to places he might not have gone as quickly on his own. All Dusssander really did was exploit the evil he could readily see in Todd.

Again though, ultimately it's just a story. I've dealt with all kinds of abuse in real life. Still nothing is taboo for me IF I feel it's necessary to the story. In the case of The Library Policeman I felt it was. The only real wrong a book can have in it for me is bad boring writing. THAT is unforgiveable.
