I didn't think so. I think Frank pretty much just let it all roll off. He seems to be the only authentic adult on set for this grotesque production.

As Isaiah said later, the only reason he didn't get up and pop him was because he didn't want to screw up his chances of going home by Xmas. Might've been good if they'd both put the gloves on and went a few rounds.

Ok, so there are 12 people hanging around a camp fire. All of them want to stay warm. All of them have a few weeks practice and observation w/ tending a camp fire. How come none of the others said "Fuck this, I'll tend the damned fire."?
I'm guessing is that whoever broke ranks like that would not have gone home for Christmas.
When you're on the hot seat in a situation like that, logically you know that's the case. But, when you're in a situation like that over an extended period under extreme stress and kept intentionally in the dark about everything (what happens next, where will we sleep, will we sleep, etc.) you begin to lose track of where the boundary lies between what you know and what you're seeing and hearing.
It can be most nerve wracking, `bleve it!
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. For when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.

Did anyone else pique at, I think it was, Lexi's comments? If it wasn't Lexie, it was Lauren. But one of the girls said something to the effect that she couldn't be quite sure whether she was really changing or just bullshitting herself into thinking she was changing.
Any of you psyche pros and students want to take a stab at that? I could give you my take, but you'd only think I was projecting. And maybe that's so. But maybe not. Maybe I have a pretty good idea what that means because, under similar circumstances, she and I had similar experiences.
All penalties for drug users should be dropped...Making drug abuse a crime is useless and even dangerous...Every year we seize more and more drugs but the quantity available still increases...Police are losing the drug battle worldwide.

Sounds like a teenage verbal expression of "I want to relieve my cognitive dissonance. It's killing me..."
