I don't think that the two are necessarily mutually exclusive. I also don't see any immediacy in self imposing sanctions - this case is still in the 1st half as it were.
KATINA POWELL SUED

It only adds to the national headlines. She might think that she is helping but she is not and it will cost her a lot more than what she is claiming as her loss/damages I'm sure.
Yea, you can tell your education stops at high school. Some of us here actually have multiple degrees from UofL.
You're blaming the 60s counter culture as the reason for dependency not out of fact, but self interest. Look, I hate hippies too, but the only connection you presented was that in 1965, Medicaid and Medicare were enacted under LBJ. If that's your baseline, then by your logic, it should be enacted earlier to FDR for social security and tva. Actually under DDE, entitlements of cash payments became the norm. So it extends back much further.
Sorry to derail thread. Back to subject.
The 1960s hippie drug counter culture consisted of the promotion of damaging recreational drug use, irresponsible sex, immoral behavior, and a lack of responsible conduct to impressionable youth. The results have caused a lot of social and financial damage to many of the last three generations. This is evident in the sordid Katina Powell mess and many other social messes. LBJ's War on Poverty only exacerbated and created government dependency problems. In the words of Charles Barkley, "Poor people have been voting Democrat for 50 years and they're still poor." Drug addiction, welfare and whores. Thank you, 1960s hippie drug counter culture for nothing. The country would be much better off if it had never happened. The rot continues.
It is not hard to tell who refuses to think and connect the dots. The Katina Powell situation is symptomatic of many other societal problems and lack of morals that affect all of us as a result of the 1960s hippie drug counter culture. Unfortunately, these sordid events affect many others. There are root societal problems that must be addressed.

For the last time - prostitution has been around since time began - it didn't begin in the 60's. Katina Powell is a prostitute plain and simple. Your effort to blame the current situation at Louisville involving her on 60's counter culture is the type of reasoning one would see from a 6 year old.
It is fairly easy to see the degeneration of morals, personal responsibility, and the increased drug use that resulted with the 1960s hippie drug counter culture. It is easy to have emotional knee jerk reactions to Katina Powell and her daughters as well as Andre McGee. To a large extent, they all lacked basic morals and judgment. Likely, Katina Powell and her daughters were raised in a poor environment with poor or no parenting.
By your own logic, the entire 60's culture was borne out of a"poor environment with poor parenting ". If not, how could it have happened? By the way, lack of morals are not limited to those raised in poor environments - simply take a look at the countless examples of corporate greed and corruption in parts of society where 60's culture never permeated.
Your premise is simply incorrect.
I see the Turd is making friends and compelling arguments on this site, after being banned multiple times at the other ones.........plural. Ha ha, his schtick has to fit somewhere. Just not well among college educations. He got his name the hard way..........."the Turd" earned it.
The 1960s hippie drug counter culture is not to be confused with the entirety of the 60s. There was a lot of great music, jobs, and times were good, to a large extent. The 1960s hippie drug counter culture promoted drug use, and irresponsible conduct and sex to youth. Most youth rejected the 1960s hippie drug counter culture, in fact ridiculing it. Some that bought into it often flunked out of college and had no jobs. Their lives were adrift. The lack of personal responsibility led to drug use, and often resulted in druggie parents with divorce and all related problems. Kids weren't raised right and the sad problems proliferated through too much of the last three generations. This probably came to a crescendo at the 1968 Democat convention when Mayor Dailey intervened with them. All of this leads directly into many of today's problems directly. Drug use, children raised improperly, irresponsible parenting and rampant welfare. What you then get are the Katina Powells and many others. A severely damaged society through too much of the last three generations.

So the small segment of the 60's that was bad has led directly to Katina Powell and the situation that occurred at UofL.
Umm - ok.
Can you seriously be that dim? I feel dumber just having read that tripe. Post all of the nonsense you want - I'm done.
The 1960s hippie drug counter culture definitely led to a lot of the drug use, breakdown of family parental responsibility, and personal irresponsibility. This has led to enormous financial, welfare and social problems. That is something we can all agree on.
There are many unfortunate victims of the 1960s hippie drug counter culture, both direct and indirect. This includes taxpayers who pay for the medical costs of drug users and broken families. As the Katina Powell mess unfolds, it will be interesting to see if drugs were involved, and whether she or her daughters are drug users as well.
You sure he is not your guys'? We were hoping anyway. I think he is. Yes I'm sure. Thanks.
Not hard to tell who is unable to contribute to the discussion. Longtime Cards fan and backer here. Disgusted with the Katina Powell situation. Disgusted with the grossly overpaid university President and assistants.
Better check that breaux. We got us a new Governor. From Louisville. Hoping for racial diversity on university foundation boards, and getting rid of cronyism.
Grossly overpaid President and assistants began with, and are a direct result of, 60's counter culture and drug use. Look in any history book.
Ditto with cronyism - it started with the rampant use of drugs and the hippie culture of the 60's.
After all the Powell woman and McGee were cronies...
According to news reports, Katina Powell will be testifying before the grand jury today. It will be interesting what her version of the "truth" is.
It was on WDRB 41 this morning. Also on their website Katina Powell's daughter Shay was arrested for prostitution in June.
You seem to be confusing several situations.
1. Abraeshea (Shay) Moorman was cited for prostitution in June of 2014 and failed to show for court leading to multiple bench warrants for her arrest. She appeared yesterday (with an associate of Trash Can Larry) representing her for a pretrial conference that was ultimately rescheduled for January 15th.
2. The publisher of the "book" Patricia Keiffner was subpoenaed and was to appear before the grand jury today. Katina Powell has not been subpoenaed to date.
3. Most importantly - 60's counter culture is not to blame for this sordid affair. This is not something new that you're confused about but, I thought that I would take the opportunity to remind you yet again.
The 1960s hippie drug counter culture has damaged a lot of the last three generations. The terrible tragedies of drug use, personal irresponsibility and irresponsible was sold to youth as " cool." It has taken a terrible personal and financial tool, and it would be a blessing if it never occurred.
Rampant moral degeneration got legitimized to youth in the 1960s hippie drug counter culture. That's EXACTLY what happened in the case of Katina Powell and her daughters, and possibly Andre.
If this situation had happened at the University of Missouri, the whole place would have melted down. Talk about emotional little jackwagons.
