Despite the good-natured intentions of this blog--that is, the betterment of the Brighton community and the enclosed neighborhoods--I take issue with a few of your characterizations. First off, "Club" kirkwood insinuates that the only aim of the residents here is to indulge in transitory pleasures associated with "clubs." To clarify: we're not a "club", and whatever mischief we engage in on the weekends is juxtaposed with a week's worth of academic straining. Every week. We may play hard, but the majority of the residents here maintain of grade point average of at least 3.2. What's more, the "underage drinking" is commonplace on every college campus in the united states. As for smoke detectors, those were disconnected to begin with; and regardless, the detectors themselves are not affected by cigarette smoke, so we'd have little motivation to disconnect them ourselves. I understand the frustration that exists among the surrounding residents in Brighton, but it's unfair--and irresponsible--to demonize individual houses and/or residents for engaging in behavior that's WHOLLY TYPICAL of college-aged men and women. Moreover, it's bizarre to chronicle the travails of others from afar, particularly considering your presumed lack of direct involvement in these affairs. <BR/><BR/>Sincerely, <BR/>Andrew Sharp<BR/>Club KirkwoodSharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04654898467055247068noreply@blogger.com
