News: DOJ - FBI too focused on child porn in cyber crime fight

Interesting take. Probably true.

I subscribe to the FBI News RSS feed. I feel weird reading that feed at work because it seems like every fourth article is about an arrest regarding child porn. Seems weird.

The breakdown is 19 percent on national security intrusion investigation, 31 percent on criminal-based instrusion, and 41 percent on online child porn. And yes, I realize that doesn't add up to 100. Article's mistake, not mine.

Study: Vast majority of America want Swedish type income equality

From the article - "one percent wealthiest Americans hold nearly 50 percent of the country's wealth, while the richest 20 percent hold 84 percent of the wealth. But in their study, the authors found Americans generally underestimate the income disparity. When asked to estimate, respondents on average estimated that the top 20 percent have 59 percent of the wealth (as opposed to the real number, 84 percent). And when asked to choose how much the top 20 percent should have, on average respondents said 32 percent -- a number similar to the wealth distribution seen in Sweden."
