P.S. Your repeated hyperbole (robots, Nazi, toothpaste, etc.) does nothing to strengthen your point. |

This "my way or the highway" mentality is very close minded and anti-progress. Progress and positive change can be made from within by people at the bottom that can see the need for change that people at the top can't. In the same breath, the people moving from within for a change should do so patiently, acknowledging the priesthood leadership and chain of command and supporting their leaders. |

The actions of the HCO should be despised and ridiculed whenever possible. Abby Hoffman destroyed credibility by exposing supposed authority figures to ridicule. Yes it exposes my credibility but in terms of the Honor Code Office, it would be a major victory if BYU students completely disrespected it to the extent it became impotent and incapable of doing any harm or job. The duty of a student is to become educated and to advance thought and one's discipline and often that requires reasonable challenges to authority. I'm not stating one needs a Vietnam style protest against priesthood authority, but I do NOT equate administrators at BYU with priesthood authority even though administrators may hold the priesthood. For many, those lines of distinction are blurred.

So, Jay and I agree. Change needs to occur by vigorous internal discussion, not external pressure.

I think if everyone who ever attended BYU accepted the sentiment of "if you don't like it leave or never come here in the first place", then BYU today would be a much worse place for it. |

Are you offering your expertise in the field of lunacy?
