  1. The fashion industry in the US has absolutely no copyright protection<\/a>. And yet it thrives.<\/li>\n
  2. Does Copyright Promote Creativity? An Empirical Analysis. (pdf link<\/a>). From the Vanderbilt Law Review. Short answer: No, it really doesn’t seem to.<\/li>\n
  3. Compulsory Pregnancy in Poland.<\/a> (I’d call it “compulsory childbirth,’ but whatever.) This is the future that pro-lifers want for the US, and it’s not pretty.<\/li>\n
  4. Skyborne, who is either an MRA or has MRA sympathies<\/del>, writes a good post criticizing an homophobic MRA article<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. It remains a radical act to be fat and happy<\/a>. Plus, the most ridiculous anti-fat commercial ever made (I may have linked to it before, not sure).<\/li>\n
  6. Texas Skateboarder Stops Christian Extremist From Burning The Qur\u2019an<\/a> For my money, the real heroes were the people who put their hands on the grill to keep him from lighting it.<\/li>\n
  7. 5 Worries Parents Should Drop, And 5 They Shouldn’t<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. An archive of illustrated “Fuck My Life” posts<\/a>. Probably NSFW. I mean, depending on where you work.<\/li>\n
  9. When Is Offering a Drink of Water a Crime?<\/a><\/li>\n
  10.

See also The Way to Stop Prison Rape<\/a> and The Rape of American Prisoners<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  11. Terrific post by Meowser <\/a>catalogs some of the many straw-fat activists we see so often.<\/li>\n
