Makes sense. No "hazing" laws, but the acts may have been covered under other laws if the individuals wished to prosecute.

You're right in that there was and is a culture that makes people less likely to complain. "Everyone does it" made people think it was a legitimate right of passage.
But a lot of people think hazing allegations didn't really exist before the 1990s' laws, which isn't true.

The thing is that hazing laws today specifically mention that consent of the person does not matter. I think you'd have a tough time without this part of the law.

Hmmm...The whole Bush/ Skull and Bones thing got me to thinking...Wasn't Kerry a Skull and Bones around the same time as Bush?

Yeah, remember that Don't Taze Me Bro video from UF. That is what the kid was getting at.
Why did Kerry give up on the election results so easily and weren't they in that secret organization together? I guess he figured it was a conspiracy. Whack job.

That's perhaps the dumbest conspiracy theory ever.
