I try not to read too much on the Gawker sites, on the grounds that they make me weep for humanity (except sometimes Jalopnik -- I don't know a damn thing about cars, but I do listen to Car Talk, and Moggie is my source for all things Top Gear ), but somehow in my feed I've found a link to a story about Aaron Swartz . I decline to comment on the legal aspect of this case, primarily because I hadn't heard of it before, and the author here is decidedly partisan. I might look it up, and I might not. It depends on how much time I've spent recently railing about how we, as a species, might be too retarded to live. I will comment, however, that from what I have seen of MIT in general, I find the author's characterization of their response to the case believable. One of the things that really pissed me off about Arizona is that the "bootstraps" mentality seeped into everything. There are still people out in the desert who would sooner watch their entire lives...
