My Face must seem so Pale and Wan
as I await a Higher Call.
No Morning school-bus Ride this,
but much beyond my Darkest dream:
Yes, I await the Devil's kiss
and joining with the Evil team.
But soft! In clear cold light of day
just as I know that I am lost,
my Savior Jesus comes to play
to save me from Immortal Cost.
And so he dies there for my Sin,
That's how I know that I can win.

She sits shrivled on the couch weeping
wishing death apon herself, but not him ...
the boy who thinks he's gods son
Yet doesn't believe in god.
the boy who claims Jesus' mother is a slut
a boy of paradox
He hurt her deeply. He lied and lied about things that matter
and didn't care at all
'that he said he cared .. .Although ... perhaps ...
he never did at all.
Her body crumpled and her emotions brusied
. her hand grasping the blackened kleenex
without hope for her own psyche
legs and arms contort, pulling the blankets tight around her shivering frame
she sniffles and smiles appologising for her tears
"He sshouldn't have this affect on me"
"I shouldn't let him"
Calmly turning her face twards the window
she ponders happy moments
of times past
The tears return as the memmories flood
once again
down her face
He didn't care at all
She opened her heart
he held it in his hand
he threw it away, away and gone, and left her empty... alone
with neither his heart nor hand to hold_

And I find it very hard to be Christian
by Naomi Ishisaka
Students , community activists and
homeless people rallied on the Capitol
campus Tuesday to protest the closure of the
First Baptist men's shelter and the lack of
shelters and services in Olympia for the
homeless.
The rally was co-sponsored by
WashPIRG and the Sustainable Community
Homeless Empowerment Movement
(SCHEMe),
.
The First Baptist shelter has housed up
to 117 homeless men per night over the past
15 months. It was originally created to
provide temporary relief for those in
Thurston County needing shelter. The First
Baptist Church decided to close it because
they lacked funding and community support
for the project.
Approximately 40 Evergreen students
attended the rally. among them members of
WashPIRG and Amnesty International and '
volunteers at the drop-in shelter Bread and
Roses, Homeless people also attended to
protest the shelter's closing.
The rally organizer, Michael Bradley of
SCHEMe, wanted the rally to raise
awareness of the crisis in Olympia. He also
wanted Gov. Mike Lowry to declare a state
of emergency for the men who will be
homeless due to the closure.
Bradley created a poster requesting that
people's constitutional rights to shelter be
protected. It was signed by the protestors and
presented to Lowry.
"There will be an overflow of between
30 to 60 men who will be without housing
[due to the closure] ... This should be treated
like a natural disaster; we need tent cities to
meet the need for permanent shelter," said
Bradley.
Ralph Smith . who attended the rally, is
a member of Homeless Services Community
Taskforce and SCHEMe and a Bread and
Roses volunteer. He is also homeless.
"A year and a half ago, the choice was
between the Salvation Army and the Fourth
Avenue bridge. First Baptist filled the gap
and the need," said Smith.
At the rally, Liz Hoar, TESC
WashPIRG coordinator, said we must treat
homeless people as human beings.
"Many [homeless people] have worked
jobs, and done all the things that you are
supposed to do. They are our brothers, our
sisters, our parents ... the only difference is
that they are without homes," she said.
More than a week ago, Bradley faxed a
letter to Lowry outlining the community's
concerns about the closing the shelter, but
he has received no response,
As a person who once was homeless,
rally attendee Brian McDonald says the need
for housing is just one of many concerns
homeless people face.
"I want no more police harassment, no
closed doors for social services. We need to
get the church out of the shelters; it is the
government's responsibility . People
shouldn't think that homeless people need

Savage believes that it was a group

"Either it was a group of people, or
one very brave person to have broken the ·

He also cites the graffiti that was

"We thought that everybody would
come. When only six people showep up, we
weren't sure they were taking the issue
seriously," said Hohman.
"To have less than half show up was
really frustrating," said Scott Brown.
However, Rape Response presenters
reported having a "positive experience" with
the workshop.
"The officers that came were great.
There was some good interaction between
the participants and the presenters," noted
Hohman.
Student sexual assault advocates had to
undergo an intensive three-day workshop for
22 hours of training while the Public Safety
Officers had only a three hour workshop.
Rape Response Coalition advocates
feel this amount of time is.inadequate.
"The reason we went in to do the
sensitivity training with Public Safety was
because it was so important to us as
advocates for sexual assault victims that their
first contact with law enforcement be
sensitive to [them) when they come in," said
Hohman.
.
"They [Public Safety) don't realize
some of the effects, they don't realize how
some of their questions can re-victimize
[victims)," said Hohman. "It is really
important for us to be able to work with
[Public Safety], if we are going to advocate
for people."
Sensitivity is important for students,
faculty and staff, "because you never know
who is going to be put in a position of having
somebody come to them with this kind of a
situation," Rape Response Coordinator
Jennifer Oatman said.
Rape Response advocates are there. to
support the survivor and to let them know
what their options are, and to support them
in whatever option they choose.
"Advocates aren't there to say 'go to
Public Safety,'" said Bennen, "but we will
. go through the entire grievance process."
Some Rape Response advocates believe
that only the officers who attended the
workshop should be allowed to deal with
sexual assault victims. It makes it easier for
advocates to create bridges with the officers.
"I feel I could go to (the officers) and
they would know my face, and we could talk
about things. And if I have to do advocacy
work it would make it a lot easier," said
Brown.
"I was pretty excited with them having
the opportunity to have interaction with some
of the students, it could cut down some of
their stereotypes. I had the idea they thought
the students who were involved were radical
man-hating feminists," said Hohman .

Semesters at .Evergreen?
hy Sara Steffens
Evergreen's deans are seeking
student and faculty.response to a proposal
to move the college to a semester system
hy the fall of 1995.
At yesterday's faculty meeting,
Evergreen's faculty began discussing the
pros and cons of various semester
systems, using a report compiled by
Dean John Cushing.
The deans want the faculty to take a
formal vote on the issue by April. If they
vote to change to semesters, the deans
and provost will bring the issue before
the rest of the colle~e.
In the meantime, according to the
report, the deans will seek student
response, "although the academic calendar
is properly a matter of academic policy
(and therefore primarily a faculty
decision)."
At the faculty meeting, many
supporters of a semester system said that
writing student evaluations only twice a
YCilr would help them give more time to
.teaching . ..
Other semester-system supporters
said that 15-week courses would be more
in-depth and integrative than the 100week
courses they now teach.
A major drawback of the semestersystem is its possible effects on the
faculty early retirement program. Faculty
who take early retirement now sign a
contract to work one quarter per year for

Opponents of the semester systems
said students don't work an,! better in
semesters than quarters. Some said
semesters would not be conducive to
student internships and community
scrvice programs.
Some worried that students could
be trapped for half the year in a program
they disliked, or that semester scheduling
would put Evergreen out of synch with
K-12 education and community colleges.
Both sides said changing to
semesters would Significantly change the
nature of the courses being offered.
Evergreen would probably offer
more single semester programs than the
number of one or two-quarter programs
offered now. All new programs would

Experimental German educator interested in Evergreen
by Dan Ewing
For the past three weeks,
Evergreen was host to German educator
Dr. Ludwig Huber, who was here to
study our approach to interdisciplinary
learning and coordimited study.
Huber is the dean of research and
development of the experimental
Oberstufen-Kolleg at the University of
Bielefeld, Germany. Oberstufen-Kolleg is
a 20 year-old experimental college in the
North-Rhine-Westphalia section of
Germany.
The Gennan educational system,
including higher education, is entirely
publicly financed. It is geared toward
disciplinary specialization.
Bielefeld is the only German
college in which students are allowed to
study a wide range of elective courses, as
well as the required courses in their two
fields of specialization.
Huber was on sabbatical in
Berkeley when he heard of Evergreen. He
was granted travel expenses to visit
Evergeen and study its unique approach to
the Iibeml arts.
Huber said that Bielefeld's
students could benefit from greater
integration of courses that are not part of
their specialized fields. At Bielefeld,
integration of separate disciplines is left
up to the students and is not reflected in
the classrooms, like most traditional
U.S. colleges and universities.
. In the Association for Integrative

counterweight to the disadvantages of
specialization, learning experiences are
necessary that enforce a sort of
intercultural communication between
students of different fields and in doing so
stimulate a change of perspective of their
own fields."
While at Evergreen, Huber sat in
on progmm meetings, faculty seminars
and other faculty and administrative
discussions, including a group studying
student retention.
He believes that Evergreen's
curriculum, in which professors of
different fields combine knowledge from
their specific disciplines in coordinated
studies programs, offers an effective
approach to meeting the challenges of a
liberal arts education.
In addition to the benefits to
students, Huber feels w.tt team teaching
will allow professors to grow in areas
beyond their nonnal focus. He remarked
that seeing faculty, "learning from other
professors [in faculty seminar) who are
neither experts ... this is a great thing."
Upon returning to Germany,
Huber will prepare a technical report for
the German National Research Fund,
which fmanced his trip, detailing what he
has seen and learned here.
He will also report to the faculty of
the Oberstufen-Kolleg, whieh he feels
will be very interested to hear of
Evergreen.

Mariners and Geoducks are both teams to be proud of
A rter the realization that there are
onl) about three people on campus that
re;ld this ~olumn (Hi Mom!), I've decided
III "ri te about something that I know
!'cw. if any people on the campus will
care about: profeSSional sports,
~ rx'cific<illy the Mariners.
No w that I've lost all the
hackysack players, I'd like to say that I
alll glad that people such as Oscar Soule
i/ o l'xist on campus, that I am not the
onl y person here that will listen to a
hallgame on the radio rather than, say,
SWl'dish goat-herding music on KAOS. I
\ uppose that I shou ldn 't be surprised,
howcver, since both the Mariners and
TrSC have some things in common:
I. Both the Mariners and Evergreen
arl' rclative newcomers to the Northwest,
hOI h be ing creations of the past 30 years.
2. Evergreen is also the low-budget
pl<lyer on the scene compared to other
, UIIC universities/major league teams.
This fact is rubbed in your face in
lIlany ways; in the case of the Mariners.
it ' s rubbed in when they have to trade a
great pitcher like Mark Langston because
they can't pay him market value, or lose a
Mike Moore or a Dave Valle as a free

The small-market nature of TESC

lIoOT of the UW's Suzzallo Library, or
Ihal there is two modem lines in to the
campus link to the Internet; that the
cancliclates for provost drop out because
Ih e y can't make enough salary if they
work here , or that students can't take
classes in German.
3. This small-market docsn't stop
hoth the Mariners and Evergreen from
having excellence in people and
perl'ormance. I think I'll leave the places
where Evergreen has excellence to the
l '<lmpUS propag~mda crowd and U.S. News
limi World Report, and concentrate on
the Mariners by saying that Ken Griffey
.lr. and Randy Johnson, great players thal
Ihey may be, arc not my candidates for
the Most Valuablc Person this franchise
lias had.
That would be Dave Niehaus, the
hroadcaster for the Mariners for their
l'lll ire existence. who has saved many a
season where the Mariners were out of
conten tion by July by being an excellent
co mmentator on the game, expertly
cO lilbining the insight and passion for
excel lence, regard less of hom.e team, of a
Rl'd Barber with the enthusiasm and
pa s.sion for the home team of a Mel
Allen. He quite frequently has been the
o nl y redeeming reature of a team that
through a combination of penury and lack
of talent has been uninspiring. Now that
the Mariners actually have talent and a
fighting chance. the combination can only
get better.
4. Both the Mariners and the
Geoducks inspire passion in their
partisans, regardless of their
shortcomings. Both sets of partisans are
most aware, of all 'people, of the
shortcomings and failures of their
institutions.
A Mariner fan knows that the best
the team has ever done is a fourth-place
finish barely over .500, a pitiable mark
compared to the excellence of teams such
as the Yankees or Dodgers,
An Evergreen student knows that
when attending here, one risks the label
of "hippie" or the inevitable jokes about
why the Evergreen student crossed the
road (for Credit).
5. The drawbacks that exist, like
the last-out home run that ruined 'Brian
Holman's perfect game in 1991, do not
sully the attempts that are made at
perfection by eiiher party.
People at Evergreen work . hard
every day to e<\ucate, to . learn, and to .
serve; they are not perfect, .but they are
trying.
So, too, are the Mariners, as they .
practice in spring training as you read
this; they are trying for the same sort of
excellence, even if they do not have the
depth of resources backing them up that
others dlJ.
We, the fans of the Mariners and
Evergreen, might despair of either of them
when they bobble a ground ball in the
ninth inning that lets the winning run
score, or allow a lack of student
government 10 disempower students from
dealing with state government and the
administration, but in the end, we
understand this.
Though there will always be
mistakes, and failures mixed in with good
measure with the successes, the most
important thing to remember is that
baseball teams and colleges are best
constructed with effort, passions for
excellence, teamwork and community, and
hope for the future. See you at the
ball game. Or maybe the seminar.
Rob Taylor can't hit a curveball,
but he does believe in the Church of
Baseball.
Still more advice on how to prevent those pesky STDs
The last "Sexuality Q & A"
column rcspondcd to the question, "I am
laking thc Pill for birth control and I'm
confused about how it works. Docs it
protect against HIV and other STDs?"
The answer explained how birth
control pill s work and that they do not
prevent the transmission of HIV and other
sexually tmnsmitted diseases (STDs).
An editorial decision was later
made to add a paragraph on safer sex. The
inlc ntion was to address the implied
qllestion, "What does prevent the
Ircffl .l1nission of STDs?"
The added paragraph recommended
Ihe use of condoms and dental dams to
preve nt the transmission of STDs. This is
common, valuable advice, but it is not
complete, accurate information.
The purpose of this coJumn is to
clariTy the effectiveness of barrier
Illethods and provide a more complete
picture of what practicing safer sex
entail s .
Using a barrier method such as a
!lII CX condom, a female condom, or a
ill'nta/ dam is advisable. When used
correctly and consistently these barrier
methods arc highly effective at preventing
many STDs, including HIV.
It is important to remember,
however, that using a barrier method is
not a guarantee against the
transmission of STDs. This is true for
several reasons:
-Barrier methods are not always
used correctly and consistently.
-It is possible for a barrier method
10 break or slip off.
-Some STDs, such as genital warts
(HPV) and herpes, are transmitted by
skin to skin contacl and may be
tran smitted jf present on part of the
genital area that is not covered by the
harrier method.
-Transmission of the parasites crabs
(lice) and scabies is not prevented by
harrier methods.
In addition to correct, consistent
usc of a barrier method, there are several
other important steps to practicing safer
sex:
-Talk to your partner(s). What is
their sexual history? What is their history
of drug use? Do they have any STDs
now? Are Lhey aware of having any
symptoms that may be the result of an
STD?
s
transmitted even though there are no
symptoms and some ~ay have serious
consequences (including death or
sterility) if left untreated. It is advisable
to have an STD exam once a year, or, if
you have several partners, have an exam
every six months.
-During exams, know what SrD
tests are performed. At an STD exam,
-Look at your parlner( s). Do they
ha ve any sores, bumps, rashes or
di scharge that may be the result of an
STD? Thi s is important because it is
possible to have one or more symptoms
without knowing it.
-Exchange first names. last names,
and phone numbers. If one of you
discovers an STD later, will you be able
to contact and inform eaeh other in order
to be checked and receive any necessary
treatment as soon as possible?
-Limit partners. The more
partners you have the greater your risk of
exposure to an STD.
-Know your body . Know the
usual appearance of your genitals and be
familiar with the color and odor of any
usual discharge. Also, check your genitals
regularly for anything unusual.
-Have regular STD exams. More
than 50 percent of people with certain
STDs don't have symptoms and would
not be aware they have an STD without
an exam or test. These STOs may be
make sure the health care provider is very
clear about what STDs are and are not
being tested for. Women who go in for
annual exams should know that although
pap smears (to check for cervical cancer)
are performed, there mayor may not be
any routine STD tests. It is important to
ask the health care praclitioner about this.
-Use spermicides. These are not

Women.and people of color needed at CI'J
When America conjures up images
of women journalists they are usually
hard put to reach beyond Barbara Walters,
Connie Chung, Oprah Winfrey, or
Murphy Brown. Unfortunately these
women represent the reality of women in
the US about as well as the Bev
represents college life.
The lack of real representation of
women in the media has profound and
deep effects that permeate every aspect of
our soc iety.
The effects of
disproportional representation create a
newspaper lacking in perspective and
Irilih.
According to "The Fourth Annual
Mcdia Survey" by the USC Project on
Women, Men and Media in 1992, 13
pen.: ent of rront page stories contained
rererences to women, 34 percent of
bylines were women, 32 percent of front
page photographs featured women and 13
percent or those solicited for comment for
women. Since women are not prominent

O ur own Cooper Point Journal is
plag ued with this same problem.
Evergreen is 58 percent women,

should represent more then half of the

;lIlraning and kecping women volunteers.
the lot of a
ttton. Spttt
The inadequate number of women
cre ates a crisis, not only as a simple
Ilumerical equation , but in subtle terms
also.
The lack of women creates the idea
that the few women on staff must always
champion for women. This column is a
perrect example of this sort of tokenism .
As one of the few women
columnists, I feel a responsibility to write
about "women's issues" (as if there is '
slich a thing) because of the lack of
attention paid to women by the rest of
the newspaper,
This phenomenon is not unique to
women, people of color face the same sort
of token activism attitude. Often, they
are expected to take the role of the perfect
agitator. The one who always fights for
the cause, who never deviates and is
always vigilant. While these are noble
;lIld admi rable goa ls, for one person to
con tinua ll y be the perfect advocate is
simply imposs ible.
What is most frightening about the
id ea or the ideal defender is that we can
never ever err. If we dare deviate from
the expected feminist or correct racial
answers (usually determined by white
men), no one will be there to pick up tt
pieces. No one will step in when we ean
no longer fight simply because, as sheer
numbers go, we are the only ones who
can fight.
A -good-s-tart for the C P J in
correcting the intolerable lack of women
and people of color on staff is simply in
more recruitment efforts. Showcasing
more women on staff would - create a
more inviting: comfortable atmosphese for
women who want to volunteer. It would
lessen the inherent difficulty of working
at a new place, with people you don't
know by at least having a proportional
amount of women on staff.
For many people, not knowing
anyone on staff is already a barrier to
volunteering at the CPJ, but also having
your gender (or race) underrepresented
adds to the discomfort. A staff that
continually recruits women by
representing them on staff is much more
likely to be a balanced newspaper.
A surge in the number of women
and people of color applicants would
greatly improve the ability of the CPJ to
adequately repoit issues that effect these
marginalized groups. In order for the
C P J to fulfill its obligations to the
student body, it needs more women
students to participate in the creation of
the newspaper. Positions for next year
open up later this month and there is still
time to apply for the .editor-in:chief
position. Volunteers are always needed
and appreciated.

J-dorm .catastrophe
I must note a point of clarification: I
was told by Bob Carlson that I would
possibly have to move out during repairs . It
was another Housing lackey (who shall
remain nameless) who told me that the rest
of J-dorm might have to move out. Housing
has yet to replace my light fixture.
Only the Providence of the MilkDOg
saved J-dorm from total catastrophe. The
mighty Laser Lance intervened in the Fall
of the Dead Tree, so that the timing was so
that nobody suffered bodily injury (except
my toe, which I cut on the glass from my
fallen light fixture).

CAB gallery vandals
I had another letter ready about the
KAOSlHappy Squad episode. But a recent
event that occured in the early morning hours
of Saturday is a more pressing affair. The
new gallery space in the CAB was destroyed
by horrid miscreants. Several student works
were stolen or vandalized.
There are several issues that need to
be discussed. Issues such as the misogyny
in the graffiti. Should we continue to keep
the building open for 24 hours? And the
Iiberatory aspects of public art as opposed
to private art.
I will leave those issues to other who
are more qualified to speak out about them.
My main concern is catching crooks and
finding the stolen works.
The questions that have erupted in my
angry head are questions to the Public Safety
Constitudon of the State of washington
ArtIcle I § 5 FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
Every person may freely speak, write and publish on all
subjects, belng responsible for the abuse of that right
Response
Office. What are they doing as an
investigation? Why haven't they cordoned
off the area for a more complete
investigation? Has Thurston County been
notifed? What exactly is being done to
apprehend the perpetrators?
I am no detective, but it's pretty obvious
to me that there are several leads to resolving
this mystery. There must be fingerprints
everywhere, especially on the glass bottle
and the glass cases. They left a tag, an ID
mark, on one of the cases. Hand prints in the
sandbox. Have these clues been noted and
investigated? Maybe photos were taken but
the bottle is still there clean and untouched.
Like I said earlier, there are so many
issues that I won't tackle right now. But may
I assume that along with myself there are
hundreds of people demanding an account
of what Public Safety has done and is doing
about this case besides, "keeping their ears
open." We simply want justice.

SUPERCONDUCTER
When one th inks of a graduation
ceremony, what do they think about?
Well, for some, it may be the transition
from school into the real world .
For some, it may be the coming of age
or the completion of a life dream.
When I think of graduation, I think of
the power and the glory of the Royal
Canadian Mounted Multi-Guitar Freakshow,
SUPERCONDUCTOR.
Wendy Hall wrote in last week's Forum
pages about the supposed apathy of the
graduating class. She thinks that the selection
of bands like SUPERCONDUCTOR for the ballot
choosing the musical accompaniment for this
year's ceremony reflects a general disinterest
in the process by which we decide, as a class,
what shape the ceremony will take.
Wendy Hall is not your friend.
Wendy Hall thinks that she knows what
you like.
Wendy Hall thinks that what we need
for the ceremony is something nonthreatening and stale, like samba.
Wendy Hall is dead wrong.
What sort of anachronistic thinking
would deem SUPERCONDUCTOR unfit to
participate in the commencement?
Shall we acquiesce to Wendy Hall's
narrow mind and her inability to come to
terms with the fact that more rock and roll is
exactly what our graduation needs?
No!
We will show her that together as a class
we can stand apart from other colleges with
their pomp and their circumstance and their
tradition.
We will vote for SUPERCONDUCTOR!
They know we are in the process of
voting them in and can hardly wait for an
invitation. They are willing to wear suits (to
satisfy the squares) and learn special music
which will be played for our enjoyment in
their own special style.
(If you're thinking about voting for
Melvins, know that they will probably be
unable to attend - don't waste your first
vote !)
SUPERCONDUCTOR can't wait TO play
here.
We must let them know that we can't
wait to have them .

So what to do? I'm too honest to sleep
out in Red Square to "show solidarity" with
homeless people when tomorrow I get to go
back to my warm bed an they have to stay
out in the· rain. I also have too much
intellectual integrity to try to get the
government (which is really just other
people) to do something about it so I don't
have to. But I'm still lacking in the courage
to just deal with it directly.
I know what I can do, I can work with

Support diversity at TESC by
attending training seminar
by Beth Hartmann
What can you do to support a more
diverse community? How can we effectively
address prejudice in ourselves and others?
What can we learn from each other that will
help us to bridge our differences?
The Prejudice Reduction Seminar,
coming back to Evergreen April 13 to 15,
will teach us sl<ills and provide us with
perspectives that will begin to answer these
a nd related questions.
Developed by the National Coalition
Building Institute (NCBt), the Prejudice
Reduction Seminar is an intensive, three-day
training that examines the so urces and
impacts of discrimination and teaches skills
for cha llenging prejudicial attitudes and
behaviors.
: The approach used to address these
seriolls topics is personal , experiential, and
non-threatening, and works well for people
at any stage of exploration of prejudice and
diversity.
All members of the Evergreen
community are encouraged to participate in
this seminar. Students may find that this
training opportuniiY fits well with their
Spring Quarter program or independent study
plans. Many students, staff, and faculty have
attended previous NCBI trainings.
For more information, contact Lin
Crowley at x6239, Charen Blankenship at
x6232 or Beth Hartmann at x6312.
Registration forms for the Seminar are
available at Academic Planning and
Experiential Learning (L 1400) and Student
Activities (CAB 320).

Did they forget how difficult it is to

i nvol vemen t?
Evergreen takes great pride in that it
exists to serve its students. We are, we say,
a teaching college, where students have
responsibility for their own educations.
The academic calendar is an integral
part of the way such education is offered.
Changing to semesters would affect the
courses that are offered and the way they
are. taught. Shouldn't students have a say
in this decision?
If the faculty and deans really wanted
to know what students think, they would
delay making this decision until after a
time when students can realistically be
expected to comment.

As a community, we must uphold our
responsibility and respect for an artist's work,
just as we must respect our own work, and
the public spaces in which we have the
opportunity to work within.
Though my responsibility to discuss
these issues was provoked by my position in
SPAZ, it does not end there. My role as both
an artist and as a member of this community
carries that responsibility even further.
Indeed the incident that occurred to the
SPAZ display cases is not one of a kind: Acts
of violence occur every day and are by no
means limited to works of art .
What can we do? As ideal and redundant
as this sounds, the only solution visible is to
create an awareness and unite as a
community. I do not believe that we can
eliminate this sort of stupidity but I do believe
we can reduce it. It is getting way out of hand.
