Re:I have a report (Score 1)

Inevitably someone(or some group) comes along to further their own goals or(in this case) profit at another's expense. This has happened throughout history and shows no signs of waning. On one level, this could be a Darwinian form of evolution, but I do not believe that is not the case here.

What the WAVE group is doing is ridiculous. It brings up thought of the Spanish Inquisition, the early American witch-hunts, and Senator McCarthy's anti-Communist crusade in the 50's. "Turn in your neighbor so people won't think you're a Commie!" That went over like a lead balloon.

The witch hunts were the same way. Accuse the woman of witchcraft after your wife busts you sleeping with her. "She must be a witch as she had me under a spell!"

What's to prevent today's youth from acting in similar fashion? They're even going to get paid to turn in their peers. There is so much room for abuse of this program.

There is also the "Revenge of the Nerds" scenario whereas the 'different' students put an ironic twist on things and start turning in cheerleaders and football players as "depressed" or "dangerous".

It's vaguely apparent that there is some good intent here, but as we all know, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

I wish I had a more reasonable solution, but all I can do at this point is voice my opinion.
