The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

Why was nothing done about the relationship between Don Johnson the actor, 22, with Melanie Griffith when she was 14 and James Webb the songwriter, 22, with Patsy Sullivan when she was 13?

To give a very high profile example, when Roman Polanski was convicted of statutory rape of a 13 year old, in the mid-1970’s, he was offered no jail time, and community service, as punishment. When it looked like the judge might change his mind, Polanski simply hopped on a plane, and left for France, where he had citizenship. It’s only in the last twenty years or so that the U.S. Justice Department has “weaponized” all sexuality and "sex crime" in the U.S.
