I don't quite understand the childcare column...Unless I send my kid (2yo) to the 'daily shootings' area (I live in Miami), basic daycare is on the order of $600+ A MONTH. Three times the figure they have.
All humanitarian issues aside (if you really can put them aside), I think someone has got capitalism down pat if they built a sustainable market selling dirt.

@janedoh 419eater is more about the 'sport' of scambaiting than teaching people about the dangers of these scams i feel. If your going to the site you most likely already have a pretty good idea there is no nigerian prince trying to get his inheritance out of the country and are more into the sport of no scamming *these* crooks.

...Well I guess it's no kids for this guy ;-)

I agree about the direction, this is more like something I would read on BoingBoing - which I enjoy, but I read netorama for different reasons.
I also agree that we cannot seem to grasp the idea that you cannot "fight" and abstract or an idea.
I think if they drew the loin anatomically correct it would have trouble holding the sword, lacking opposable thumbs and all.
