I have a final note to add.....

I'm going to largely echo Sandy's comments re: 'the conversation'!

Communication is key - we're all friends & we're all in law school - which means that we shouldn't have problems voicing our objections to objectionable commentary.

So to quote Elle Woods from Legally Blonde 2:

"I forgot to use my voice. ... I know [now] that one honest voice is louder than a crowd."
