p>Thanks you so much for publishing Jay D. Homnick's thoughtful
essay about the Duke situation. It is a timely reminder that there
are activities which, if not illegal per se, are still best avoided
if we seek the protection of the law. The law is society's ultimate
method of regulating human behavior, but we are poorer society if
it is the only means of doing so. I greatly appreciated Mr.
Homnick's Talmudic approach to the problem; it is remarkably
similar to the approach advocated by the LDS church: It is best to
avoid even the appearance of evil.

I'm not 100% sure of what Jay Homnick is trying to say here. Is his
point that while he is happy the three former Duke students have
been exonerated, their troubles were partially their fault because
they were at that bar or party in the first place?

It would be very appropriate for these young men to accept some
responsibility for getting themselves into this mess. I hope all
those priests who stood by these families have counseled them on
this. A little too much boys will be boys here.
