Who Let The Kiddies Out?
What makes me sad about this undeniably good thing (don't even try, seriously) is that it didn't come about like good things should. Amanda didn't come to the conclusion that what we were doing to these children was cruel and inhumane. She didn't feel terrible about what she was putting these people through. No-one in Howard's inner circle was so overcome with shame at what their country had become that they resigned in protest and went to live in the woods with their family.
No, this came about in much the same way that a tobacco company settles claims from dying litigants: a balance of profit and loss. Moral factors, unfortunately, don't play a part; the decision is made solely on which path will end up costing less. And if it wasn't politically prudent to release the by-now-psychologically-disturbed children from detention, well, stiff shit, kids. Because you're not really people, just balls to be kicked around in political battles.
Nice to see, also, that Mandy has balanced the ledger by excising yet more islands from our migration zone. I didn't think there were any left to excise.

Could you please stop writing such good blog posts? It's really quite disheartening that you have become so good so soon. Pleases desist.
