Stupid human tricks...

From the San Diego Union-Tribune comes this story of an over-enthusiastic sorority blood drive coordinator who just didn't think about the consequences... bq. A sorority blood drive coordinator who urged members lie about their health to qualify as donors in a campus competition could face discipline ranging up to expulsion, a University of Missouri-Columbia official said Tuesday. bq. In addition, the campus chapter of Gamma Phi Beta must forfeit any points it would have earned in the "Greek Week" competition for last week's blood drive, campus fraternity and sorority leaders said Tuesday. And the reason for this brouhaha? bq. In an April 6 e-mail sent to about 170 members of Gamma Phi Beta, sophomore Christie Key, the Missouri-Columbia chapter's blood donation coordinator, wrote: "I dont care if you got a tattoo last week LIE. I dont care if you have a cold. Suck it up. We all do. LIE. Recent peircings? LIE." Jeez!!! Talk about blind stupidity. One case of hepatitis or HIV and some innocent person gets infected. Expulsion is too good for that idiot - they should get some transfusions... Posted by DaveH at April 14, 2004 9:01 AM
