I think it was a reaction to the incredible media coverage. Nearly their entire lacrosse program had been villified by, what, 70 interviews form an overzealous, race baiting, running for reelection DA.
Kinda like a restroom in a gas station.....I've learned to be able to *hold it* for about 300miles...LOL
You can't just kick some dirt around :-)
I know what you mean. I was supposed to iron about 20 golf shirts today so maybe I should start doing a few and then just check in here periodically.
Or put a bucket with a capful of PineSol by the door and stick a mop in it. Then get back on FR. The scent lasts for days... giving the illusion of hard work.
That's Miss Marple's theory!
As a practical matter, each game would have become a focal point for all the usual suspects to protest. I doubt they could have played in that atmosphere.
WooHOO......Case explodes in Nifong's face.
LOL!
She lost me during the 2000 election.
hehehehe. The DA won't sleep well tonight.
And please don't mention Cynthia McKinney - this MUST be a political free thread. I just cannot TAKE politics anymore :-)
Tell me, is ignorance bliss?
You can't just kick some dirt around :-)
LOL....but I need to plant my roses...
MSNBC just said again the two dancers were black.
I have some more, but they are trade secrets! LOL!
If it wasn't so heartbreaking, it would be disgusting.
"The idea of imposing strict social codes via the government is abhorrent. I think you'd feel more at home in Singapore or under the Taliban."
Wrong.
I agree with you.
If a bunch of jerks and sluts want to act out, it's their problem as long as they aren't breaking the law.
If you go back to some of my original posts, you will see I was trying to state what you did so lucidly:
"This matter is a special case because Duke, as a private university, has the right to impose moral and social codes on its students. If they violated it by hiring a stripper to perform at a party, the university can punish them accordingly."
Such a situation also applies, or should apply, with respect to certain government employees, teachers, clergymen, law-enforcement personnel, professional athletes, etc.
Society has a right to expect certain social and moral codes be followed for various reasons in certain situations, especially from individuals in a position of trust, authority, or held up as an example for youth.
Most people would agree that a butcher, auto serviceman, insurance salesmen, etc. doesn't need to adhere to any ethical or moral standards aside from those which strictly apply to the service being provided. As long as the guy can fix my car, what he does with his own time is his own business.
I'll iron a few shirts if you plant one rose bush :-)
Personally, I think we're tagged today as lazy housewives.
And credit card receipts!
Do you have a link?
/just kidding ;oD
"Somehow, I think the lawyers will get over it pretty soon. while they may wish their cliets were not indicted, but they have been; it no becomes a battle of skill and wits. Some attorneys live for opportunities like this."
I bet you are right, now that I think about it.
LOL!!!! I always liked Miss Marple. She has a great mind!
