[BC] KDND Verdict

[Dana Puopolo]

No, it really doesn't Dave. She was publically coerced into drinking the
water, both by the promise of a reward and the 'save face' aspect of
competition. The radio station staff supplied the coercion-and should pay the
price. If you and I make a bet, it's just that-a dare between two people. It's
a bit different when said 'bet' is being broadcast live on the radio-and with
the staff and listeners/callers of the radio station egging you on. I'm sure
it's easy to get caught up in the moment-and I believe that's what
unfortunately happened here. 

The radio station is and should be liable. Period.

> 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..
