Thanks Jim for reminding me of my empowerment when I'm into full whining mode. You get under my radar easily, calm me down a lot here -- I owe ya a beer.
I don't live in FF. I don't actually know anyone who knows any real facts about the Pundit Kids, and my posts here are reactions to, well, gossip that may be true.....or not. I'll be glad to write to a 100 national reporters if I had a little help from anyone here who knows something that a reporter can verify. I think the barbed wire is probably enough for, say, a Fox News report to be spun, but if this is truly an illegal or obviously immoral situation, then someone reading this post must be able to point out various things I could include in a letter to really nail the issue. I'm thinking that the slick-TMO has most bases covered, but this thing just smells from where I'm at downwind. That's why I'm posting here -- trying to see what can be seen by others responding to me about this issue. Who's got some nice cold, prima facie, red-handed evidence of fraud, child abuse, "anti-American harsh disciplines," etc.? I don't hate the people of Fairfield. I wouldn't try to alert the press unless I had some substantiation to back my play. If the press gets into this as a headline-money-making story, it could change FF in a bad way by besmirching the whole society when it's merely a few thugs on campus making this thing keep going. I'd like to give a good work-up of the scenario that helps any reporter follow the money. I would hate to see BigMedia make GlobalBiz hay out of this if the Pundit Kids are merely a case of an "intense spirituality program." The barbed wire is not enough proof to sic the press on ALL of Fairfield, but it sure is a red flag that could indicate an abusive, even criminal, situation. Anyone got something for me?
