Internet empire mauls Star Wars Kid

[Chris Brauer Media Project [BLOG]] The sociological conclusion is that none of this was ever about the Quebec teenager but instead fed the need for the geeks, bloggers, privacy lawyers, guerilla video editors and star wars aficionados to express themselves through his story. All of the rest of it is just bold-faced speculation, unnecessary and uncomplicated and unfortunately Ghyslain has been forced to embody this meme by an excitable audience. It provides unwelcome support for Thomas Hobbes' view of man as naturally selfish hedonist -- "of the voluntary acts of every man, the object is some good to himself".

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

[Isteve.com] Nov 2002 iSteve Web Exclusives Blog by Steve Sailer: So, what's an eagle? Apparently, if Andrew is the model, he's a hyperhawk, except that he seems to think that the military should drop everything to root out anti-gay sentiments among enlisted men, so that that very small fraction of male enlistees who are gay can speak their love that dare not speak its name. So, what's his priority: Send hundreds of thousands of homophobes into harms' way in Iraq, then welcome them home by dispatching them to sexual orientation sensitivity re-education camps?
