That's certainly the public line whenever a pledge gets killed in a
dumb stunt and the traditionalists have to scramble to explain to the
cops and the media how this is Fine, Actually. Sounds a lot more high-

outlet for their disease."

It's no friggin' wonder these people end up in politics and Management.
