This is a fact of human nature. It's been with us since the Fall of Man. It's especially apparent in modern schools because we've packed hundreds of kids into a building for eight hours a day with only a few dozen adults to split between them. If you think you're ever going to "fix" the bullying problem among poorly supervised children who are squeezed into claustrophobic spaces with each other for hours at a time, you're delusional.
Everyone on Facebook was freaking out about net neutrality last night. Let's apply some basic common sense:
* Net neutrality has only been the rule for two years. How, oh how, did the Internet ever survive for thirty-odd years before that?
* All of that whining about "lock your data plans now, because if you don't, you won't be able to afford it any more". Think about that. All of those content providers that are supposedly going to steal your bandwidth: what do you think their motivation is? Do you really think they want your bandwidth to be expensive? No. Think about it. They want you to watch their stuff. How are you going to do that if you can't afford to pay for the data? It's in their own best interest to make sure bandwidth to you is cheap.

Okay, I should have read that whole article before I linked to it. It's rather Luddite. Mea culpa. However, my point remains: what did net neutrality actually do for you? Did the improvements in your Internet service between 2015 and now vastly exceed the extent of improvements in any two-year period prior to that?

If you want to make sure that people do not believe sexual harassment victims, then weaponizing accusations and paying accusers seems like a good path to take. Otherwise, not so much.
Something something self-fulfilling prophecy:

"See a dog being fed a vegan dish."
Adds new meaning to the phrase "dog's breakfast".

DNC sinks another one of their own over unproven allegations.
Not a lot of liberal women politicians in Kansas. That's gonna sting.

Guess who's heading the new Hollyweird commission on sexual harassment:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/15/movies/anita-hill-hollywood-commission-sexual-harassment.html
And here we thought this was about protecting up-and-coming actresses, right???
I shall never tire of boycotting Hollywood!
