Vanessa, or just Harris if you’re nasty, is an ex-advertising manager, current musician, fashion designer, lover, fighter and fan of one eyed cats. When she is not working out the details of the latest Vocalo.org initiative, you can find her writing new tunes with Das Empire, nurturing her many plants, watching horrible movies, whipping up some silly outfit from thrift store finds or dancing around her apartment to David Bowie tunes turned up really, REALLY loud.

Robin: (11/21 13:25) Who’s at fault in the tragic drowning death of three North Lawndale College Prep Students? Is this a case of kids being kids and paying the ultimate price? Or did the adults in charge fail to do their duty?

mollymolly: when did this happen? where? can you link to an article?

Robin: Sure. Check out our playlist. I'll link to an article shortly.

navraaz: the kids were responsible. they snuck out without the chaperones knowing and decided to go boating in the middle of the night without realizing that the paddle boat had its plugged removed for the winter

navraaz: they were teenagers who took a risk with their lives. im sure they knew that there was a possibility that something could go wrong. which is why they had to sneak out

A-Hole Producer: i read about this in the paper yesterday. i need more info. does anyone know if the kids were wearing life preservers? i'm guessing it's the fault of the kids if they were given life preservers and took them off, and the fault of the paddle boat rental company or the highschool teachers if no life preservers were issued.
