OM DENNE EPISODE
Welcome back to Schauer Thoughts, this week we will be discussing the “Cornell 7” and the horrific gang rape of Jane Doe. I am so mad and you should be too, rape is a systemic issue and we all need to stand up and demand answers, demand accountability, and demand a world where justice can swiftly and with the full force of the law be served.
Discussion of the “Cornell 7” does begin at the later half of the episode but please know it’s not because I am pushing it’s importance to the back, it’s because this exact thing has happened to me and I’m allowed to discuss it at my own pace. Thank you for understanding.
Nuance for my rant on Jimmy Carter: He did try more than *one* environmental initiative and did create CERCLA (I appreciate that) but he could have done so much more and did not. If my direct communities - farmers and those I’ve been elected to represent (the people of the United States) lives were on the line, I would have done so much more.
