The Good and the Bad/Ugly
The Good is Shanti and Ashwini's blog Real Women Online. Go check 'em out -- they talk about real things. They even have an offer out to host an Iraqi woman blogger! Good on 'em.
The Ugly/Bad is contained in this Dallas Obsserver article. To call feeding a child "sexual conduct and sexual performance" says more about the culture and mores of Richardson TX, and America, than about the Fernandez'. It is apparent whose "sexual desire" is being stimulated, here.
I think the class issue here is an unconscious one. I don't think that the officers, the grand jury, and the rest are intentionally "going after easy marks." I think they were blinded by their own sexual issues and there was no trigger to say, wait a minute, these people could fight back, as there would have been "if these pictures [had been] on their way back to some big home in Highland Park."
