Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 176141, member: 780"] No heros in Okie's story. He brings his car to campus in violation of the rules and excuses his behavior by saying other people also did it. The rules don't matter if enough people violate them. Coughlin apparently thought that the place Okie is parking his car --- that he shouldn't have on campus anyway --- is either formally or informally reserved for athletes. In this case ---now the champion of the letter of the law --- Okie points out that it was really public parking. Coughlin's sins are that he left some notes on the car and appeared to be unfriendly. At Syracuse and in living in NYC working at my first post SU job, I often marvelled at the strange flexible ethics of the NYC natives. [/QUOTE]
