he arrest of non-custodial parents and their incarceration in debtors' prison ranks with political oppression in foreign nations which our own government condemns. It is no less evil than the gulags of Communist Russia where individuals were shut away in prisons for non-crimes such as free speech and religious beliefs. Like the fanatical rule of the Taliban, the system of family law in the United States functions on blind assumptions and ignorance which contradict our Constitution and the very set of principles this nation was founded on -- that men and women should be free from government intrusion into their personal lives. Yet despite these founding principles, we find ourselves in a situation two hundred years later where our federal and state governments have positioned themselves to interfere with anyone's life once a personal relationship breaks down. This family law system, which should keep intrusions to a minimum considering our Constitution, is anything but unintrusive. Instead, it has evolved into a monstrous machine which deprives people of their children and possessions; which targets an entire class of people to strip them of a right to appeal; which entraps its victims through enforcement measures; and denies, through financial terror, a right to legal counsel.

Matt Dylewski and Jake Dylewski are Internet scam artists who've assembled an array of websites designed to entice naive and unsuspecting Internet users to signup in order to supposedly gain access to pirated software, games, movies, music, etc. Whilst users believe they're paying a one-time fee of $4.95 for lifetime access, unbeknownst that what they've in fact signed up to is a subscription of $30/month. Various searches on the Internet reveal how hundereds of unsuspecting users have fallen foul of these scammers, many having to contact their credit card companies to block payments and cancel their cards.

Today, I am asking you to make a donation to support Wikipedia. I started Wikipedia in 2001, and over the past eight years, I've been amazed and humbled to see hundreds of thousands of volunteers join with me to build the largest encyclopedia in human history. Wikipedia isn't a commercial website. It's a community creation, entirely written and funded by people like you. More than 340 million people use Wikipedia every month - almost a third of the Internet-connected world. You are part of our community. I believe in us. I believe that Wikipedia keeps getting better. That's the whole idea. One person writes something, somebody improves it a little, and it keeps getting better, over time. If you find it useful today, imagine how much we can achieve together in 5, 10, 20 years. Wikipedia is about the power of people like us to do extraordinary things. People like us write Wikipedia, one word at a time. People like us fund it. It's proof of our collective potential to change the world. Join discussion...
