I was very bummed about the gang rape.

No, it's nothing new. With all the progress, women around the world are still treated cruelly, and as property, and beaten, and raped, and subjugated.

Do we hear about it more? Probably. Is it happening more? Who knows? I think it may even be happening less: some strides have had to have been made since the days of the proverbial caveman bonking the proverbial cavewoman on the proverbial head, and dragging her by her hair back to the cave of hell.

This isn't cheery I guess, but I think strides have been made in a deeply ingrained flaw in our society.

And Happy Birthday Cloud!
