The World is a fine Place and worth fighting for, I believe in the latter part. - Ernest Hemmingway, Andrew Kevin Walker

Just in case things were too upbeat...

...it turns out a paedophile ring existed among some of Portugal's elite and plenty of other powerful people looked the other way to let them keep abusing children for several decades. The trial has concluded successfully but those convicted seem to be getting sentences of only around a decade, with the chance they wont go to prison until after they appeal, something which may take years just as the original trial did.

In a world of billionaires and cliquey groups of international elites one has to wonder what other horrors lurk unknown, or at least unreported and uninvestigated.
