So We're In The Paper

QUIT TALKING ABOUT IT! I got calls from 3 MSUSA people today about the article in the paper - guess what, Bemidji isn't perfect...
People seem to be forgetting that they are hearing one side of the story, and that it is not our job to judge - guilty or not, these guys deserve a fair trial.

Round here, we always stand up straight
Counting Crows
No one is perfect and people make mistakes - instead of speculating and blaming we need to join together, support one another, and MOVE ON - focus on things that we can control and change - this is not one of them.

    Although judging may not be my job, I've always felt that it's important to do some volunteer work.

    But seriously, judging is our job; we just need to be aware of the limits of out ability to judge. It is well within our right to exercise our judgement on these individuals. But that doesn't mean we ought to leap to conclusions.

    And if there is one thing we ought not to do, it is to avoid talking about it. I don't know the context of the calls, and I trust that they were out of line if you say so, but, that's no reason to condemn judgement.

    Of course people are calling...if our campus makes the news, good bad right or wrong, and it gets across the entire state, people are going to react.

    Whether or not it is right to judge, it is human nature. Bemidji isn't perfect, and none of us are perfect. We're all human, we're all flawed. We all judge to some extent. The system will work, and they will have their day in court (with some of Minnesota's best, most renowned attorneys, it appears)

    And the rest of us, as I said on my own blog last night, ought to refocus ourselves on the enourmous amount of good that exists within this school and its students.
