Karen's argument makes perfect sense. That's why she's a lawyer and you're not. Let's start keeping track of the Penn malefactors and see whether there's a trend or not. Mike has a point in that Karen's posting was anecdotal rather than statistically valid. But I believe that what Karen was really getting at was the story behind the story. Of course, neither UCD nor anyone else can anticipate, let alone prevent, this sort of singular incident. But UCD seems to take credit for all kinds of things in this area to which they have no legitimate claim of ownership. More than just take credit. Promote the smithereens out of giving itself credit -- with its $74k flackette not only flushing out the propaganda to the media (mostly the DP and the UCReview) but also acting as a newsmaker-spokesperson herself. And it's this self congratulatory pap about what they want to portray as our little Utopia-on-Schuylkill that Karen cleverly and subtly mocked in her posting. Al Krigman Left of Ivan Grozny ®
