Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
It has a pretty happy ending, ita. The boy in question is 18 now, and is helping federal prosecutors identify kids in trouble because he knows where to find them. He's in college now.
Out of the many things that were fascinating to me was the piece on how the reporter found this kid, gained his trust, and how the Times hired him a lawyer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
Web 2.0 is a very efficient method for a few people to make a lot of money giving keynotes about how Web 2.0 will change everything, efficiently.

Depressing article in The Independent on the results of the Iraq election: [link]
Iraq is disintegrating. The first results from the parliamentary election last week show the country is dividing between Shia, Sunni and Kurdish regions.
Religious fundamentalists now have the upper hand. The secular and nationalist candidate backed by the US and Britain was humiliatingly defeated.
...
Islamic fundamentalist movements are ever more powerful in both the Sunni and Shia communities. Ghassan Attiyah, an Iraqi commentator, said: "In two and a half years Bush has succeeded in creating two new Talibans in Iraq."
