Let me try this: Drum Corps from this time forward will be different than it has been in the past because of these accusations. Just like it seems to be happening in the entertainment industry. And it will take some time before all the impacts to the activity are known. Is that better? Absolutely. I think we will come back a more healthy activity because we’ve dealt with this in a responsible manner.

skevinp Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Analogizing is not equating. It's a completely different thing. And it is entirely reasonable, common and normal to use extreme examples that everyone is familiar with to make a point about something less extreme. In no way does an analogy suggest that everything, or even most things, about the two concepts being compared are the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respectfully disagree. a thing that is comparable to something else in significant respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes; the Weinstine/Spacey/Hollywood situation, or the Cosby situation, or even the Lance Armstrong doping situation with the Tour de France, are akin to the GH/Cadets/DCI situation; a cultural change within a sub-culture that does not deal with a multitude/thousands of deaths and global war. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A powerful person in the industry taken down by years of his own indiscretions. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Lance was on an even playing field...the entire frigging peloton was doping...he is a genetic freak who was blessed with a huge engine to begin with and whose body also adapted to the EPO better. Not sure about the French hating Hop but then again they hate everyone on principal alone. Then they elect a president who shagged and later married his teacher. Maybe there was this Hop-Lance-Macron conspiracy all along and 2006 was an homage to Cosby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But see, it is entirely possible to be comparable in significant respects without being equatable in most or all respects. I appreciate the respectfulness of your disagreement, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
