Instead, his threat of a child-porn charge for teen sex <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/news\/local\/breaking\/ct-naperville-north-suicide-20170522-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">scared the boy to death<\/a>. The <em>Chicago Tribune<\/em> investigates. (NOTE: This article is from 2017, but very much worth a read. Also see M&#8217;s comment on this post about the work Corey&#8217;s parents have done since his death.)\n<li>Girl gets in kicked off the school bus for being a bully (second offense). She informs Dad he&#8217;ll have to drive her the five miles to school. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-6466265\/Dad-films-daughter-walking-school-kicked-bus-bullying.html\" target=\"_blank\">Dad has a different idea<\/a>. (This was probably a good thing to <em>do<\/em>; whether it was a good thing to post on FB is another matter.)\n<li>I like Netflix. But they have a <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@jeffreyscarr\/netflix-is-vulnerable-to-a-subscriber-action-that-could-sink-the-companys-stock-7c1df7659fdd\" target=\"_blank\">problem with user data<\/a> that could seriously hurt them. Kind of the opposite of the Google-FB problem, actually.\n<li>John Stossel on <a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/columnists\/johnstossel\/2018\/12\/05\/the-creepy-line-n2536980\" target=\"_blank\">Google and The Creepy Line<\/a>.\n<li>Hangover season is just ahead. What causes them (hint: there are still no definitive answers though there&#8217;s lots of info) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/know-it-alls-what-causes-hangovers-how-can-i-avoid-them\/\" target=\"_blank\">how to avoid them<\/a> (other than not drinking booze).\n<li>An Oregon mother with small children in tow stops and uses her last spare change <a href=\"http:\/\/mailtribune.com\/news\/top-stories\/big-hairy-tatted-up-biker-touched-by-kindness\" target=\"_blank\">to help a big, hairy, tattooed biker<\/a>.\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/national-geographic-photographer-of-the-year-2018-winners\/\" target=\"_blank\">Fifty awesome photos<\/a> from this year&#8217;s <em>National Geographic<\/em> contest.\n<\/ul>\n<p>* If you&#8217;ve read your bible (apparently unlike said professor), you know that Mary did indeed consent. OTOH, saying no to God has worse repercussions than saying no to Harvey Weinstein. So despite the prof&#8217;s remarks being idiotic and attention seeking, I s&#8217;pose there really is an argument to be made here. If one has nothing better to do than argue about stuff like this.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/dogphilosophy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/dogphilosophy-676x800.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"676\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-40037\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/dogphilosophy-676x800.png 676w, https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/dogphilosophy-380x450.png 380w, https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/dogphilosophy-768x909.png 768w, https:\/\/www.clairewolfe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/dogphilosophy.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<li>Could <em>Gamble v U.S.<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/reason.com\/blog\/2018\/12\/07\/repudiating-the-dual-sovereignty-excepti\" target=\"_blank\">help end the war on weed<\/a>?\n<li>Australia goes and does it.
