yet, you no doubt _have_ your faculties - yes?
but this stuff about guilt or innocence - the question smacks so much
of macarthyism - that one is guilty by association, rather than
practice.
on the other hand - yes of course life contaminates us all.

The English noun "identity" comes, ultimately, from the
Latin adverb "identidem", which means "repeatedly."
The Latin has exactly the same rhythm as the English,
buh-BUM-buh-BUM - a simple iamb, repeated; and
"identidem" is, in fact, nothing more than a
reduplication of the word "idem", "the same":
"idem(et)idem". "Same(and) same". The same,
repeated. It is a word that does exactly what
it means.
from "The Elusive Embrace" by Daniel
Mendelsohn.
