Lessig battles a whole nother kind of exploiter
This time it is not the RIAA, the MPAA and the crowd that would turn intellect into property. It is the story of Boychoir School, where, this article alleges, sexual abuse of its students was part of the institutional culture. Lessig himself was a star student, and deeply involved. Now he's working on the lawsuit.
Before I became aware of this piece of history, my respect, admiration and support for Lessig was just about as high as it could get for a mortal. Now it is deeper, too.

I always worry about authoritative bodies with a "moral" message. My father was a psychologist and said people attracted to positions of power in christianity were among the most screwed up he encountered - lots of pedophiles and sociopaths.
I really do think that Lessig has a shot at the White House. He is the only political leader that makes any sense to the 'generation X'.

If a comment feels slimy to me I delete it. I don't have any more formal criteria, but the bottom line is that this is my blog.
