Thanks for the ping. I hadn't known of Mr. Ogdu before -- his passing is truly a great loss. As for the "blaming the victim" accusation, it's very important to distinguish between blaming the victim, and pointing out the simple fact that departing from victimhood is something the victim will have to undertake on his/her own steam. Saying "you have to solve your problem" is very different from saying "your problem is all your own fault".

Re JWR, they have requested that FR posters excerpt and link, since they are a shoestring operation (I think "they" is really one man) and need the hits. Especially since they asked nicely, rather than suing FR as the Washington Post and LA Times did, most posters are gladly complying with the request.
