Thanks for all the links. Sort of a sad day's reading, but I'm grateful to be directed to the good articles.
How America turned poverty into a crime by Barbara Ehrenreich. This was really depressing. I know the poor are treated horribly in the US, but I'd had no idea it was that bad. I've been reading a lot of really depressing stuff in this vein lately - Stuart: A Life Backwards by Alexander Masters, for example.
I've just done that update, and did not lose the porn torrent I was downloading! Ah, for the important things!
You deserve a medal for your pornathon record. I bowed out this year, because I found it so stressful last time!
