decisions by individuals
we all make ‘em. good ones. bad ones. distasteful ones. decisions that affect our health, wealth and everything else. here’s some stuff from the news and comments about the decision making involved:
1) (hat tip Drudge) “the saugeen stripper” is a student who did a bump and grind and gave lap dances for her dorm mates at the western ontario university. somehow (wink wink) photos of the event made the internet. bad decision on her part ? i don’t know, it’s really up to her. the toronto star published an article about the pics including the “saugeen stripper” phrase that guaranteed that everyone could find them. the amazingly named susan grindrod actually said something smart:
“We’re not the alcohol police and we’re not sex police, and I’m not sure we would want to be,” said Grindrod. “And we recognize that many young people in first year may try out new things that can lead to errors in judgment. I’m not sure some of these misbehaviours haven’t gone on in the past. It’s just that today, the images can get sent around the world.”
2) the nannies are at it again. remember when you didn’t believe that they would ever ban smoking in bars. after it happened, i warned you that they would be coming into your house next. you laughed. well.
3) howard stern has left the planet. to satellite radio. which, by the way, like your tv, radio, cd or mp3 player, or computer, has an off switch. if you are a parent, feel free to use it for your child.
4) as an aside, RIP john spencer.
