On a very serious note...

Remember when I mentioned that I joined Facebook and was flying my "freak flag"?

I have unearthed a population there that is best left to rot. Not all of them, obviously -- not even the majority. But the few that brag about child abuse and spread child pornography make my skin crawl. There is a thick line between age-play and sexually abusing a child. I have enough intelligence to discern the difference and these deplorable men and women have the nerve to cross the line and then brag about it.

So what can we do as responsible members of society? We have an obligation to report suspected abuse. We must. We cannot employ a "to each his own" mentality regarding this.

I'm not sure how effective this is, or if it just makes me feel better, but I am anonymously reporting those vile online slugs to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. I suggest that if you run across pedophiles and abusers, you do the same.. Even if it helps only one child. Even if we can't make a dent. This cannot be ignored.

If anyone has further suggestions for fighting this atrocity, please email me or post in the comments.

Thank you, and now back to the show.
