Playing with Fire...

Sometimes I don't like Ann Coulter's editorials (usually more for her tone than the substance of her arguments). But I thought this one was good. Especially the beginning:

However the Duke lacrosse rape case turns out, one lesson that absolutely will not be learned is this: You can severely reduce your chances of having a false accusation of rape leveled against you if you don't hire strange women to come to your house and take their clothes off for money.

Also, you can severely reduce your chances of being raped if you do not go to strange men's houses and take your clothes off for money.

There are a few other fairly obvious solutions to situations like this that no one seems to want to talk about: 1) Stripping and hiring strippers should be illegal, 2) Hiring strippers should be against the code of conduct for Duke students, and 3) People shouldn't have drunken parties and hire strippers.

At least we're getting one thing right: if you live in under a government or go to a school that tolerates drunkeness and stripping, rape is still wrong. Wow. How progressive.
