  • This headline is shit. It’s just a masked type of victim blaming. What actually happened is that many town employees must have known about the SA, considering there were 14+ victims and SA doesn’t happen overnight, and they did nothing for quite some time… So the real story is that the town faces a huge tax hike because its employees decided to cover up SA.

    If they’d caught the shady bastard after the first or second assault, the legal bills would have been millions of dollars less. But they didn’t, because it wasn’t a priority.

    As for who knew or should have known but did nothing, we don’t know, but the town residents might want to dig into that.

    You just described a situation that is not happening here. If you want to take on debt to buy a business, that might be reasonble. You, the person, BeeegScaaawyCripple, would assume the debt.

    Of course PE doesn’t work that way. The borrowers themselves are at no financial risk. That’s the point, that’s the scam.
















  • Two MOOcs on Coursera.

    • Teaching Writing Specialization: Teaching Writing Process, Teaching Reluctant Writers, Teaching Texts and Forms, & Responding, Revising and Assessing Student Writings. Johns Hopkins University on Coursera. Taught by Mark Farrington.

    And then rereading my old favorite books to see how the authors wrote sentences, specifically, as opposed to the plot which I already knew I liked.
