While I may call it a knee jerk reaction, it is and has been a fact of life for a period of time and it affects all of us.
Whether it is a State Law for felony prosecution, the suspension of a chapter, the cost of dues to Risk Management, the death or bodily harm, It will and can harm all of us!
Simple thing, do not do it and then there is not going to be a problem  |
Tom, I for the most part agree with you as well as the other posters in this thread as well as the many others.
However even those of us (99.9% give or take) with a level, clear head and a fair amount of common sense can get tripped up by the laws, regulations, rules and policies of the state, city, school or even the GLO itself.
Why? Because of the way they are written. Having been in or having read most of the prior threads I wonder if what we did back in the day was hazing. Some times I think yes and other times no. I know other GLO's at my school crossed way over the line and that was long ago.
Yes there are plenty of black and white points that just about everyone can agree on. However there are also all too many shades of grays. And those are the issues that hurt us all; figuratively as well as literally.
And what cause train wrecks here.
Off soap box I go...
