The winners and the losers
• Loser: Davis County prosecutors this week said they have built criminal cases against 18 teenagers who have been trading nude pictures of each other over their cell phones. Lest you think this is just some stupid-but-harmless bit of juvenile idiocy, prosecutors added that some boys were using the photos to pressure girls to do things they didn't want to do.
Indeed, kids occasionally do stupid things they later regret. But serious crimes need to be treated seriously. These crimes hurt people. At the least, the kids are creating images that, because they are electronic, could remain in circulation for as long as electricity exists.
• Winner: Men are doing twice as much housework today as compared to 40 years ago, according to part of a summary of studies released this week by the Council on Contemporary Families. But lest husbands begin feeling smug, evidence suggests they still aren't pulling their weight around the house.
