Re: JCO: Discussion Question

I think treating the request seriously was the right thing to do. Our new member got off to a bad start not knowing how to begin a discussion in this type of forum, but she's paid for it dealing with a great deal of sarcasm.

Eric suggests the incident could be a metaphor for society's behavior, but I'll throw the question back to Katie on a more literal level: do you think it is reasonable to say that Kelly is complicit in her own fate, or is saying that too much of "blaming the victim?"
