Do you have any idea what the hell would happen to me if I IDed myself on this forum?  My life would take a plunge down into the Marinara Trench.  You think Hunter is making this up for his own personal gain?  I don't know this guy, but from the posts I've been reading he sounds like a pretty cool cat.  You say you should have been a journalist...go on, just remember to print the truth.

 I was responding to the quote from forpeace that said if it is not true that a school system cant be torn down and lives detroyed.  Not everything in life needs to compare to Hoover

You do not read me correctly.  That is not what I said.  Scroll back and reread it.  Or don't.  It doesnt affect me either way.

The same could be said for Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who did not reveal William Mark Felt, Sr.'s , a/k/a Deep Throat, identity.  Mr. Felt revealed himself on his own accord, as Woodward and Bernstein were going to wait until after Mr. Felt's death. (See Watergate, 1973)
 
The relationship that a reporter and his source have is paramount to good journalism.  Just last week the House introduced a bill that would shield reporters from having to reveal their sources.  This was introduced by the Democratic majority of the Judiciary Committee and opposed by the Republican minority, based on terrorism points.  As a conservative, the Republican points were pretty lame if you ask me.  
 
The assumption here is that everything is correct and true.  You ask in other posts how this affects you.  It doesn't affect you.  You don't have a son in that age group.  Yet.  You will see that once he reaches that age group, as a responsible parent you will be very cautious as to what you expose him to.  No football scholarship is worth selling out for.  Morals and ethics come first.  The rest works itself out.
 
There are parents here who are concerned what their children are exposed to.  Allow them to be concerned.  What is important and unimportant to you may not be the same for the other parents and vise versa.

You said you were going to count to fifty, but you must have quit once you ran out of fingers and toes.

Hunter did quote a source in his story. It was Stephanie's exhusband and his lawyer.

The way I see it differently, the Duke case had one incident being investigated by many parties.  The prosecution, the defense, and probably the papers.  While it was terrible for the boys accused, they eventually were cleared.
 
Here in Hoover, and Eufala, and Ashville, there are multiple  stories, but not much of anyone really saying they are looking in to anything.  We have the BoE saying it really doesn't think it needs to be looked into.  Maybe if there were underage goats....There are no answers coming out, one way or the other.
 
As was refernced earlier, there was a principal taken out of one of the elementary schools, never to be seen again in the school.  It was too bad, because I think he was wonderful.  But you do have to err on the side of what kids are exposed to.

As you can plainly see, my user name is "superdolfan", which makes me a fan of the Miami Dolphins.  Nick Saban is the former coach of the Miami Dolphins who clearly pointed his finger at reporters in December 2006 and said "I am not interested in the Alabama coaching job".  As soon as the season was over with, he was the new head coach of the Univ. of Alabama.  The man is a liar so there is no need to bring him into this conversation.  It's irrelevant and has nothing to do with the conversation.  If you have exhausted your points, then say so instead of grasping for straws.

It has everything to do with the conversation.  This year, people want Rush out because all of the kids are unable to think for themselves and will run off and hump anything that moves because they saw Coach Propst do it.  OK, fine, Propst is out, new coach is in at Hoover High School, team goes 8-4, Little Johnny is now going off to Alabama on an academic scholarship and wants to play football.  Nick Saban, noted liar, not to mention however many NCAA violations pending, is the coach and an obvious bad example for your child.  What is your next step?

I didn't make the connection between your screen name, and Nick Saban being with the Dolphins because I honestly forgot that the Phins were an NFL team.
 
You let your kids pull for a team with a repeated drug offender like Ricky Williams?  He seems like a pretty bad example.  Wouldnt want my kids watching that.  They may see a high profile person like him openly talk about using drugs and think its ok.
