oh god yea. there is so damn much temptation here, students can't even focus, not to mention football players. we have 50+ bars, half of which are easy on fakes, half of those you could show them a napkin that says "im 21" in crayon and you could get in. and the players are like rockstars downtown and every cleatchasing female in athens flocks to the bar the team is at that night, which these days is bourbon street or whiskey bent

FYI: What Benjamin wanted to say before the crowd drowned him out (per the Reveille):
quote:
"Funny Facebook said that there were only going to be 64 of you. I initially began this flag burning protest to define due process for students and suspected terrorists alike, to call on LSU and universities across the country to defend basic human rights and avoid putting students into the criminal justice system when it can be taken care of internally.
Solidarity means standing with those who are treated as guilty until proven innocent, instead of the other way around. That's what freedom is, standing with those who express their constitutional rights in ways that may be unpopular, especially the accused and the marginalized no matter the consequences.
In the name of peace, there will be no flag burning today. This country and the flag that flies over it stands for freedom, democracy, love, peace and the ability to question our government."
Benjamin Haas, communication studies graduate student
