Thanks for your link to the prof at UMich's opinion on the caricature-reaction riots. I haven't read yet, but I've bookmarked.

And damn, I didn't hear until your entry that Robida had been shot and killed. It is incredibly creepy to see his MySpace page. I imagine we'll see more and more of this type of thing, now that MySpace is so popular, especially when we learn more in relation to internet-related crimes, disappearances, web-cam transgressions/soliciting of minors. I keep thinking that I'm used to the greater-access technology world, but then something new to think about pops up.
