@freshman realizations Recognizing that columbia is a business– almost as trite as entitling your Spec op-ed “A modest proposal.”
@hmmm I feel Hannah should have posted the article on both Bwog and Spectator. TBH, there’s really nothing original in the story (not that i’m saying the experience isn’t personal, it’s just we’ve seen the argument before), but the comments give a very interesting picture of the audience of Spec. I’d love to see Bwog comments on this issue specifically.
@Anonymous The Bwog dire wolves would be picking their teeth with her bones by now. For once I agree with The Dark Hand: SPEC SUCKS.
