Response to "A Blog" and Some Other Comments



" . . . many people, names withheld, are definitely not ready for more privileges."

I have to say, I agree with most of this blog post, however, the food is good. And I liked Anchorman, despite how bad the movie is. (I liked the stupidity of it, maybe I have been too intellectual recently, so I needed a break.)

Additionally, many people, names withheld, are definitely not ready for more privileges. As I type this comment certain individuals are making crude comments, even racists jokes resonating throughout my floor. I know most of it is all in fun, but the maturity level seems to be a notch lower than I hoped for. The arguments I have heard have been pretty stupid, top put it nicely.

The distribution of freedom is at first glance inexplicable, but the reasons are painfully all liability. If we are freely allowed to roam the campus, and somebody gets lost/hurt/killed . . . what will happen to Cosmos?

I certainly may sound like a party-pooper or maybe lamass (pardon the language), but just think about it? Can a summer camp let minors run wild? Can anyone who reads this honestly say "every person attending Cosmos is responsible" ?

However, the mandatory movie night was not something I wanted to attend, (despite me enjoying the movie).

To the Cosmos staff: can we skip events or activities when homework or personal interests in, for example, researching for a final project, are more important?

In conclusion, liabilities are a bother, but must nonetheless, when faced with a barrage of maturities.

I wish the blog was not mandatory, but I think I will have plenty to say.

I understand the liability concern. Just an unfortunate circumstance to the whole thing.
