The news this week has me a little down.

Is the U.S. Government Disappearing Children?

For fuck's sake.  CHILDREN.  Now, I know that a best case scenario is that they were adopted by some white suburban family somewhere in Virginia, and their lives will be great.  After all, such a statement will make this a non-issue for a lot of people.  However, since the U.S. government hasn't done that, and based on previous evidence, I'm going to assume we are now in the business of holding children, possibly as leverage over their parents.  Fuck.
