had caused a lot of people to think...(whatever). Talk about the
court of public opinion - and this has long been a peeve of mine -
in situations like this what possible difference does it make what
the public 'thinks' about it? It's not like a popularity poll has
any bearing, or the thoughts have any value or carry any weight. To
borrow a well-loved line from a long-forgotten movie, "Opinions are
like assholes - everybody has one."

No kidding. They actually arrested somebody?
I was living in Boulder during the whole initial brouhaha. I even
knew somebody on the grand jury. (And no, she never told me what
went on in the jury room.) It was pretty surreal.
