It time once again for your favorite political discussion and mine - A-Team Coffee and Politics!

This event is intended to be a smaller, more intimate group setting. While we love having a large crowd for our other meetups, it's just not conducive to the conversation. For that reason, I ask that everyone keep their RSVP up-to-date and to respect the limit.

This meetup will have a political topic that we'll talk about to begin with. We usually let the conversation move in any direction that it wants to and eventually it turns into a chance to just get to know more about each other. These meetups are a great way to get to know us.

Topic:
This week we'll be talking about the phenomenon of sexting where children and young adults send nude photos with their cell phones. In September, the second suicide occurred that was directly related to the harassment young girls receive if their photos are spread. How should we prevent such tragedy? Some places are attempting to use child pornography laws to prosecute those involved. Is punishment the answer? How public should we consider personal cell phones and the pictures we have on them?

For an article that provides a good overview of the problem, read Hope Witsell's Sexting Suicide.

As always, everyone is welcome and encouraged to come!
