From Ars Technica:

The MAAWG conducted 800 interviews by phone and Internet across the US with people who had e-mail addresses not managed by a corporate IT staff. It found that two-thirds of the group said that they were very or somewhat experienced with Internet security, and a majority used filters of some kind in order to avoid spam. Eighty-two percent were aware of bots and botnets, though not many believed they were at risk of being victimized by one.

Slightly less than half (48 percent) said that they have never clicked on a spam e-mail. That’s the good news, but that means the other half have clicked on or responded to spam. But why? The answers will undoubtedly horrify you. A full 12 percent said that they were interested in the product or service being offered—those erection drug and mail order bride ads do reach a certain market, it appears.

KTVB.com: Man who molested two dozen children released, living in Boise area

I love this:

His release June 2 comes despite a recommendation from a hearing officer that he’s still a risk and should remain behind bars.

Wow. Just wow. But hey, no need to address jail overcrowding or anything. We will just let the prisons fill up with minor crimes and misdemeanors and let serious and hardened criminals walk.

Given that Mr. Stowell has a Boy Scout leader, RenewAmerica.us has another interesting take:

As a side note, this tragic incident confirms that the Boy Scouts are absolutely right to “discriminate” against homosexuals who want to serve as Scout leaders. The rate of pedophilia among homosexuals is up to sixteen times as high as among heterosexuals (homosexuals comprise just 3% of the population but are responsible for between 34% and 40% of all instances of child sexual abuse), and the BSA has a right and responsibility to protect the young boys under its care from predatory adults.

I couldn’t agree more.

UPDATE 6-25-2008Apparently Idaho isnt the only court with a weak spot for child molestors.

Today the United States Supreme Court struck down laws giving the option of a death penalty for child molestation.

“The death penalty is not a proportional punishment for the rape of a child,” Justice Anthony M. Kennady wrote.

Apparently, in Idaho, serving your complete prision sentence isn’t either.

More proof that the “global warming” agenda is really just a public policy agenda.

A story so ridiculous, only the government could be proposing it.
