Comment thread on an article about a sexual assault at Drake University.
A complicated case of he said – she said. Unfortunately, when a man reports sexual assault the claim is rarely taken seriously. (On a side note, the caption on the Drake photo says Magnolia trees. Magnolia trees do not grow this far north. Those are redbuds!)

Yeah, they look like Magnolias to me. 😉
And haven’t these people heard of global warming, or is that still a plot by the Chinese? There’s all sorts of “southern” trees that grow in the upper midwest now, that couldn’t make it 50 yrs ago.
