Too Depressing Today

Seriously.

• Child abuse, via Ramona's Voices.
• Possible race angle at Penn State abuse case, via Are Women Human?  These two links via Brilliant at Breakfast.
• Daisy's Dead Air notes who has been rousted and arrested in the Occupy demonstrations, and who has not.  Also:  the news blackout in South Carolina regarding Bob Jones University's current shame (frontispiece of the founder's racist crap is an old disgrace).
• How to talk about Social Security, from the Daily Howler.  Apparently we're doing it wrong.
• In case you don't check for ETAs:  Doghouse Riley disassembles the arguments in that New York Times article about taxing the middle class more.
• Dropping out of capitalism won't work, from the New Statesman.  Pertinent quote:

  There is almost no way to exist in this society without being contaminated by capitalism, unless you spend your whole life lying down in the dark, in a recycled rattan coffin, being drip-fed organic vegan mulch by a succession of fairly paid assistants, and if you do, I'm sure you'll feel great about yourself, but people will still make fun of you, and you won't be a step closer to changing the world.

• New Spider-Man, with spoilers.  From the Hathor Legacy.
• State of Occupy Oakland.
