Last week Buzzfeed broke a story leaking several private emails sent among members of a University of Chicago fraternity, calling the culture “toxic.” The easy response is to put on our swimsuits and dive headfirst into the self-righteous fray.

My Take - The time is coming when things will be said publically that are now being said privately, and once the reins are thrown off - there will be no boundries.
