[BC] KDND Verdict

True enough, most likely.

> Personal responsibility doesn't apply here!

    Oh, but it CERTAINLY does! Absolutely it does. It ALWAYS applies, to
each and EVERY situation you ever find yourself in. And this is becoming a
BIG problem with this country, more and more people are wanting to assign
responsibility for all aspects of their lives over to someone else, and for
what reason? To I suspect that they imagine that it will make their life
easier, with no realization of the loss of personal freedom they're handing
over..

    It seems to me that grandma was right when she said "if your friend
jumped off a bridge, would you also"? I am responsible for me. I don't
delegate that to anyone else.

> ...Stupidity by the radio station does!

    Yeah, and here lies the problem! The radio station and parent company
(presumably) has money. If this EXACT same incident occured, but was the
result of a "dare" by a hypothetical (and in this example for discussion
sake, a destitute) acquaintance at a halloween party, would the same
discussion be occuring?

    I don't think so. There certainly wouldn't be $16M involved.
