Blaine:
Orwellian!! LOL You have a sinister mind to ascribe Orwellian
motives to the LDS Church in general, but more so with regards
to Brigham Young University, Perry. We are talking about a
school practice here, aren't we? Not a churchwide
practice. Nothing sinister here!! Just common sense
that if you photograph and publish the photo of a very popular
athlete wearing obvious violations of the school standards on his
arm, you are publicly endorsing the violation. Of course that makes
sense to me, but maybe not to someone like yourself who seems to
see sinister plots and/or conspiritorial motives in everything the Mormon
Church does. Maybe, as
I have suggested before, you need to find someone whith a couch in his office,
and tell him all about this problem you have. LOL
BTW, Perry, what do you
think of the US government when it covers up sensitive information,
or classifies information as "secret"? Is that Orwellian, or just
common sense operating?
