This is why I can't wait to take Property. So much controversy! Exclusions, inclusions, occlusions.
Incidentally, thinking about the Esteemed Founder of Ave Maria Law School somehow irresistibly brings to my mind the word "megalomaniac." It has such a nice ring to it. Not that I wouldn't want to start a town where I got to set all the rules. Oh yeah.
Anybody want to join a pool on when the first porno mag is discovered? I pick 3 days. That's when it's discovered, not when it arrives. That happens immediately.
One other thing -- my completely uninformed guess as to why we all try to keep tabs on sex offenders (see the post I linked to above) more than other felons comes down to two words: creepy recidivists. We can all understand natural impulses such as murder and burglary -- or maybe we can't, but somehow they seem a sorry inevitability. But sex offenders, especially pedophiles, behave in a way that is completely beyond the comprehension of most of us. This is not a crime motivated by passion or greed, but by some sick twisted ick. (Ick is now a noun.) It's also a crime with an extraordinarily high rate of recidivism, last I checked. So we like to keep these people far away from us and our children.
We've heard rumors that our property professor has a lot in common with Kingsfield.
