[Vision2020] Challenge to Crabtree

[g. crabtree]

Actually I agree with Mr. Schwaller. I too, would be surprised if people in that arena didn't use their power to influence those "beneath" them in a negative way. I think that it's a bad thing and as near as I can tell Mr. Schwaller is expressing  no opinion either way, merely making a statement. I see no indication that he thinks it's swell because it's a common practice.

Is this an example of the sort of logic you are offering to inflict on me in a class setting? If so, not only do I decline your generous offer but I urge the youth at WSU to look into disciplines that have less potential for damaging their thought process.
