Youthful Spirit. The one most revealing fact about Andrew Wyeth is his age: 46. His paintings may treat of age-old wisdom; his life speaks of free-spirited youth. He has a classic car, a Mark II Lincoln Continental, drives it with abandon. He drinks endless mugfuls of heady, homemade hard cider...
...almost half a century, the Rev. Richard John Neuhaus, who died on Jan. 8 at age 72, stood against the conventional view that religion has no place in public life. The son of a Lutheran pastor (as he too was for many years), he became an antiwar and civil rights activist in the '60s and a leading religious conservative in the '70s, jolted into that role by the troubling moral implications he found in Roe v. Wade. In 1990 he converted to Roman Catholicism, though he thought he was beyond easy categorization, describing himself as "religiously orthodox, culturally conservative, politically...
...stood up against female circumcision in defense of women’s rights, will disagree with me. But I believe that our Western intervention into the affairs of Maasai women, though well intentioned, is the true act of disempowerment towards the Maasai culture.

...These reports are frequently referenced to highlight that one in five or one in seven minors are sexually solicited online. Without context, this citation implies massive solicitation of minors by older adults.

Also, many acts of solicitation online are harassing or teasing communications that are not designed to seduce youth into offline sexual encounters; 69% of solicitations involve no attempt at offline contact. Misperception of these findings perpetuates myths that distract the public from solving the actual problems youth face...
...Lowdown: This extensive, yearlong study can be essentially summarized thusly: don't be overly reliant on technology to keep your kids safe from technology. There's no one quick answer - age verification, filtering, etc. - that will keep children from harm. And with few exceptions (exceptions that are usually latched on to and tarted up by the media), the perils children face online are no greater those they face in the real world every day. The song remains the same, moms and dads - it's your responsibility to make sure your kids aren't getting into something they can't handle...
