Double-secret probation ... that should do it!   :-(

Call me ignorant, but the current "work hard, be good, or face the 
penalties" is as good as it gets if you believe in penalties. 

I don't know that the people are different now, but it appears that the 
process has changed (over many years).   Now, apparently, the media 
report everything with vigor and the police and administration enforce 
the law and rules.  I'm not saying this is necessarily better, as some 
police and administrators in the past could make the "strong father 
figure" really work and turn around a kid, where now, it appears, all is 
public and there are no "free" second chances.

I'm not saying these people in the news should get a 
get-out-jail-free-card ... more that an institution should have the 
get-out-of-jail-free-card when they follow their rules and toughen their 
rules.   Furthermore, I don't think anyone can say Blake James is not 
doing his job because the President toughens the rules ... but I digress 
from hockey. :-(

What will you do for Maine Hockey this season?

cheers, wayne
