[Historical Note:  The Guestbook was originally the most vibrant and 
controversial part of the site--a place of interaction.
Since it involved humans, in particular anonymous immature humans 
(students)it quickly degenerated into a mudfest of insults and 
irresponsible emotions which can still be seen below.  After a series
of death threats following the Vision-Opposition.org 'fratracide' and
split issued in this guestbook, the signing feature was removed, making
the guestbook a permanent archive by Februrary 1999.  Death threats and
complete calumny have been removed, but 95 percent of it still remains
for your entertainment below.]

Why do so many of you criticize Daniel so harshly? I neither agree nor
disagree with what he says (I am not exactly fond of debates and political
arguements) but I don't see any harm in what he writes. It seems that he
writes to inform people, not to at empt to brainwash them. Sure he states
his opinions, but everyone's entitled to do that! :) Is saying what you
think really something to get insulted for so often?

Since the elections, what have you done for the students Danny? Since
coming to UF what have you done? Danny you have a great deal of time and
energy which could serve a much better use. You must put aside the fact
that you lost your bid for a senate seat and move forward in the right
path. If you are going to comment on the actions of individuals and SG,
don't you believe it is important to attend Senate meetings? Why is it you
do not mention on your page that BOM refunded vision ALL of the money which

it was fined for the McGovern fliers? Why do you selectively write about
events which you have little or no knowledge about? I can only assume that
your love of the classics is forcing you to parallel the Greek historian
Heroditus--the father of history (also known as the father of lies).

Mr. Grapski, you told the truth so few times during your last entry that a
rebuttal would go on for pages, so I won't bother. I am not sure if you are

lying or delusional, but good luck getting over whatever has caused your
life to malfunction this way. Maybe you and Vlcek can get into group
therapy for over-the-hill SG junkies together. Danny, thank you for running

an informative page that tells the truth about both sides of the SG
struggle. As someone who was involved until 1993(often as a Group Leader),
I enjoy reading how things never seem to change. Remember, school should be

a fun learning experience. Eventually you need to graduate and just read
about what is happening in the Alligator Online.

It's been a few weeks since I've posted. Firstly, I want to say, Danny,
even though I think you've more or less completely gone round the bend
recently, I do like the addition of the criticism $ commentary section;
letting the good and the bad pass witho t comment reflects confidence and
fairness. Pity the rest of your page starts to stray from that. Second,
this is to Charles and Pat: take it outside girls. Surely, surely, surely
two men with careers or just sheer age can have something else to do th n
nitpick SG. get a football ticket. Go to a movie. Read a book or something.

UF's student government, the efforts to reform it, the entire ocean of BS
it wades in will all go on just fine... without either of you. I'll stand
by my original statement , that no ally of Vlcek's is an ally of UF
students, and that the 'Opposition' better get its act together if anything

is ever going to get accomplished for the UF Student and their interests in

their SG. That is all.

Mr. Siracusa,

As you should well know (and do well know) I have not been convicted of any

criminal offense -- and despite your use of Danny to try and portray that
-- I have no worry about it. Because I know the facts. I am not a criminal
-- an your statement that I am is a mistatement -- as well as quite an
immature thing for someone in your position (as well as irresponsible). You

have taken on a PUBLIC role -- and it seems quite clear, that the lessons
of corruption you learned at UF, you h ve taken with you. You have not
grown up, despite having "left school and gotten a job." Mr. Siracusa, you
are the lowest of the low. Your reputation is quite well known -- and it is

not a good one. You are the very reason I have fought against FBK's
orruption, because it produces people like you, who then infect our state
and local governments and law enforcement agencies.

And other students know the facts as well. I have no problem with that. As
for Danny Davis, the reality is you have us d him as a pawn, and he is
quite willingly being used (because he does not know what else to do).

As for your "influential" role on campus. You were a thug. You were a group

leader of FBK and used that position to control and influence students and
student organizations. And you knew me more than through the Alligator,
although I chose to not speak with you whenever I could avoid it. If you
want me to provided documentation -- I could provide quite a bit.

The amazing thing is that you think it is a potent criticism that I am 32
and a student. There are many people my age and older who are students. The

fact is -- I am getting an education, an education I choose to pursue, and
one which is designed to make an impact in intellectual as well as legal
and political spheres. My goal is to reform politics and law -- to take
away the negative influence of people as unethical and corrupt as you.

The allegations that I am wanting to be president of the student body are
nonsensical. I have not sought that position except once. My goal is and
always has been -- to see to it that UF produces a good quality education,
and promotes ethical leadership. That means it stops contributing to your
type of political manipulation, thuggery, a d corruption. The amazing thing

is -- though -- that in your criticism of me, a REGISTERED student with an
actual stake in the ongoing struggles on campus, is that you, an NON
student, who has "gotten a job" still wants to PLAY the POWER BROKER/THUG
rol you so (very long) played in the FBK Group System. You, sir, are
pathetic -- and fall victim to the very criticism you are trying so
pathetically to wage at me.

FACT: FBK is and has been a corrupt, followership organization, controlled
by polit cal "bosses" known as group leaders who often used "thug" tactics.

You were the epitome of the FBK "thug" and the very thing wrong with the
organization. The very people in your organization who are true leaders,
and who are being harmed by the control ver the organization people like
you have had, feel the exact same way about you.

The sad fact, however, is that someone as corrupt and unethical as yourself

is in a position of public trust. That should not be. And it is certainly a

stain on t e State Attorney's Office of the State of Florida.

Mr. Grapski, As a prosecuting attorney, I am used to being insulted by the
criminal element. Perhaps you could lay out some details on one or two of
your wild and untrue allegations against me.

As you well know, I have never denied being one of the most influential
students on campus between 1989 and 1992. By your standards I was corrupt.
Of course, your standard for corruption seems to be an effective leader
that doesn't agree with you. I di n't really know you while I was at UF,
other than through the alligator stories about your various arrests and
incarcerations, but now I know why nobody follows you for very long. You
are the tyrant that you always accuse FBK of being. Maybe life will work
out for you one day. Graduating and moving on would be a big first step.
You are 32 and still worried about trying to be SG president. You need
therapy.

I think that you are angry because Danny answered those criminal record
questions I asked you in my entries 10-7-98 and 10-9-98. See "Charlie
Grapski's Jailhouse Rock" on the main page. It appears that Danny isn't
very impressed with you now that he knows you better. I am surprised you
aren't used to that by now.

Good luck sorting through your various problems. Go Gators.

Danny,

All I can say is I stopped coming to view your page months ago -- and only
came after Mr. Siracusa (a current state attorney) sent me another of his
harassing emails. Mr. Siracusa, your new ally, is about the most corrupt
FBK group leader type in history He has no ethics, no morals, and was
responsible for FBK's numerous dirty tricks in his years. He was pure and
simple a thug. This, Danny, is who you have now alligned yourself with. And

he loves it. You are a pawn -- and dont see why that is a bad hing. As for
his current occupation, I believe it is for the Florida Bar to examine
complaints made against him, and review his appropriateness for his
position; as well as the State Attorney's office to review the
appropriateness of his current involvem nt in making certain statements.

The real thing that needs to be asked, though, Danny -- is can you not see
how pathetic you look? Your page is full of inconsistencies -- you have
written for a year about the problems with SG and FBK -- been a vocal
critic -- and now, because of what we ill get to next, in order to attack
others (including now myself -- who you used to over praise), you actually
contradict yourself - and defend SG and FBK.

The reason behind all of this, of course, and very obvious to any observer,

is that whenever someone is critical of you (for this very trend of
immaturity) they become your enemy. And you begin attacking them.

This was the trend with Vision, who by the way, you had absolutely NO
problem with when you believed they would slate you -- despite the
discussions we had stating what the problems were (discussions you later
used my words as your own -- "they were putti g party politics over
principles." Then, when I criticized your attacks on Vision and persons
involved with them, and ceased communication with you (because it was
becoming a waste of time) you decided I had to become an enemy.

Danny, despite Mr. Siracusa's influence, I do not have to defend myself
from him or your attacks.

The facts speak for themselves. I have consistently stood up against
corruption in SG and FBK. And I have consistently worked in the interest of

the Student Body. FACT. I have never been convicted of a crime nor tried
for one (despite being arrested - which you do not tell the whole story of,

because a) you dont know it; and b) it would not suit your motivations).
FACT. As for my electoral record -- FACT, I won my seat in District C in
1989, became Independent Leader of the Senate, and then formed an organized

group of independents to inform students and get them involved and to try
and reform SG. That group still has its impact felt on campus today -- and
we have made many successful changes (although we have yet to change the
system completely - wh ch is our long term goal, and remains mine, and we
(not you) are seeking to bring that goal to fruition. FACT. The fact
remains, that while others did nothing, I stood up -- on my own time, at my

own expense, without seeking personal reward or gain.

Danny, you are exactly what is wrong with UF. You are a kid, who came to
that University, and was taught the wrong lesson. And yes, FBK was part of
that, particularly through the influences of people such as Siracusa (who
is long since graduated -- yet ypocritically still is quite involved). Mr.
Siracusa has no credibility Danny. And when you are his pawn (and he has
had many) you have little credibility either. Knowing that Mr. Siracusa
reads your site more regularly than those who are working agains the
corrupt system and for a democratic system -- and likes it (after all he
can see his influence on it) -- should send a message to all (and to you,
if you are not blind) that you have gone very far astray.

Now that I have wasted 15 minutes with this -- I will leave this site once
again, to drift off in Danny's total self indulgent, and pretty much
useless, tirade. There is little of interest here.

Comments:
Dan--As I've mentioned in my emails, I am quite troubled by the twist of
events that appear to be happening down in Florida. While I support the
common cause we both have had from the very beginning, I find it upsetting
that you would turn against those ho are pushing for the same reforms in
SG. Of course there will be differences and of course not everyone is going

to get the position that they want. However, that doesn't mean you should
just turn against those very people who have similar beliefs in S . As you
know, I did that myself and paid a hefty price. I was so infatuated by what

party was doing what, I forgot what was important. Please do not do the
same thing---get things done for students and do what you think is right.
If opposing Vision s something you believe is the right thing, than I am
the last person to infringe my beliefs onto. I just hope you remember how
hard some people are working to free SG from it's everlasting stranglehold
and how far they have come. This has nothing to do with me...I fled long
ago and do not regret it one bit...nor do I regret going to UF to begin
with...it has definitely given me a diverse perspective on how to see
things at my new school. Many people wonder why after over a year I'm gone,

do I still kee an eye down there. Why should you care people ask?? It's not

so much SG, but what I strive to NOT stand for as a person. SG is just a
mere example. After leaving UF, I knew that politics was something I wanted

to go into because I knew how cold other politicians could be. Please do
not add to the problem of being one of those cold politicians. Good luck in

Does Daniel Davis' personal attack against me and Andrew Poole mean that we

have won this battle? I believe that I did nothing to attack his position
in Murphree Area Council in my signing of his guestbook. I am a former Area

Council Secretary who happens to know more than a thing or two about how to

run an area govenrment. Daniel, I feel that this personal attack on my
character is against all of your so-called ideals established on your web
page. Because of this statement, I invite everyone who reads thi to email
me for more information. I happen to be a well informed student, and as
Daniel kindly pointed out, a Resident Assistant in Sledd Hall, who happens
to have created a personal "conflict" whith Davis because of my being
outspoken at MAC meetings an questioning his motives and experience as the
MAC treasurer. Daniel, if you have any other personal conflicts with me, I
ask that you please bring them to my PERSONAL attention, not via your web
page, as I previously did with you. If you are afraid of me which I believe

you are, let me inform other readers that I am not a person to be feared
and I do not have problems dealing with people as Daniel states. Thank you
so much for your support, Mr. Davis. May I assure you that it will be

For someone so keen on reminding people how 'ad hominem' attacks and

by some caps-typing clown, to which y u had a chance to give scathing,
witty, sardonic why-even-bother-because-you-obviously-have-no-brain reply
and instead answered "That's not what your bitch said last night", you have

made yourself out and out rude. John McGovern once told me that "it's not
about manners", he was talking about politics, either not understanding
that I was talking about a way of treating people, or not understanding the

word "manners", I didn't ask. Strangely enough, you are a A+ stu ent in his

school, when in response to the last two posts to your guestbook (both
critical, but neither particularly insulting) you attacked everything that
they said and things that they didn't. Allyssa and Andrew are two friends
of mine, and I've just ead everything from people skills to physique called

into question in insolent fashion basically because they don't agree with
you. A lot of class, you fit into the current SG very well. You could move
on from criticism. You could maybe think that mayb people who technically
are on YOUR side (if not specific ideology) about student government who
have been at UF as long or longer than you might have something valuable to

say. Instead, you virulently attempt to defame and attack. The part about
insulti g Andrew's girlfriend (another friend of mine, and someone who
unlike you, has actually done more in SG than just gripe), that part, whoa
man, you sure have the voice that rallies the people, the voice of the
opposition. "live free or die?" "I regret I have but one life to give for
my country?" no, how about "well, well, say what you want, but your

These are hopefully my last comments on this. Mr. Mullen is right -- enough

bickering. And although he includes me in the list, for he fails to
understand that I have been trying all along to put an end to that very
thing, this is unimportant. The poin is -- that Danny's current focus on
the bickering with Vision is not addressing the real problem with SG. That
was my point and remains so.

It is true, without question, that Vision has failed to be effective in
opposition and in bringing about change. This has been a long standing
criticism. I have spoken with the members and encouraged them to recognize
their errors and refocus their atte tion -- and actually stand up and
fight. This is what Danny should be doing. It is what all students should
be doing. I hope, in the end, it works.

Additionally I have urged others, unwilling to work with Vision, to stand
up and fight themselves. Not against Vision -- but against the corruption
in SG. Then those in Vision, who sincerely seek the same, would likely
stand along side them and fight as well.

It is not easy to fight the system -- but nothing protects it more than
this sort of bickering. Those of us who share the commitment to ending the
corruption in SG need to recognize that when we fight amongst ourselves,
not on matters of principle, but o trivial matters, we defeat ourselves.

The shame is that Danny's site, until recently, was a much needed and
desireable contribution to that struggle. It has been losing impact in that

struggle though. I encourage this to change. I encourage Vision to change.
And I encourage all the rest o you to stand up and demand a change -- in
Danny, in Vision, and in SG and the UF administration's position on SG.

The wrong lessons are being taught. And in the end, good people, like
Danny, are being hurt. They fail to get the education that they should
expect from an institution such as UF. And this should not be tolerated.

Two corrections to Danny's site, however. The quote by Vlcek, "nice touch"
was not regarding false information that was Brad Bondi's idea. Quite the
contrary. It was the comment that Vlcek gave Bondi when Bondi saw that the
flier contained false and de amatory information and challenged Vlcek about

it. Brad Bondi had NOTHING to do with including that information -- and is
the one person present the night they were posted (also there were Vlcek
and McGovern) who did the RIGHT thing, reported the inciden , and told the
truth when asked about it.

The second correction regards McGovern's quote, "Vlcek is evil." This was
not a statement "allegedly" made -- but the statement made by McGovern,
when confronted by Bondi to do something about the posting of the fliers.
McGovern's comments were intended to STOP Bondi from going to the
authorities and to KEEP him from telling the truth. In the end, Bondi told
the truth, and McGovern lied. Danny needs to correct his captions to those
quotes to clarify these points.

ENOUGH! Bickering is pointless. All of you have irrevocably failed to serve

the students of this university at all, and by falling into these minor
skirmishes and territorial disputes. It's nothing history hasn't shown us
the results of, and it was at east watchable when I saw it in "Braveheart".

I'll paraphrase one of the most sharptongued journalists of the 90s, Keith
Olbermann of MSNBC when I say "It's official, Student Government is no
longer a representative political forum, it is now a college wide parody of

the old "who's on first, what's on second" bit. As legislators and interest

groups pursue stiffer penalties for those caught in the midst of electoral
or political tom-foolery, why not look into penalties for those caught
simpy being involved in Student Government. It's not just that the
organization and its surrounding parties have lost allo direction and
credibility, no, its just that its not even funny anymore" Nari, Danny,
Charlie, settle ladies. some student may come across this page and
guestbook mistakenly believing that the "Independant" and "Minority"
leaders and figureheads are more concerned with students interests than
with political infightin , and we wouldn't want to let that cat out of the
bag, now would we. I tire of watching this, watching you all picayune hacks

sit back and bicker while the current regime perpetrates as many if not
more atrocities as they ever have since I've been here. There is no side of

"right" in this argument (certainly not one that any ally of Vlcek would be

qualified to comment on, Pat). Do you want to no why? Because you have all
failed. I have quietly grown outraged by the unmmitigated impotence of the
"opposition" (I can hardly say it with a straight face, as opposition can
afford neither weakness nor ambivalence), and I'm going to vent now, and
hopefully you will just sit, read, have a coke and a $&@*$! grin as I
berate all of you. VISION: negative fliers and balking consideration of
maybe one day mildly suggesting that perhaps McGovern should possibly be
removed from office are not getting it done. There is no moral victory in
winning 8 seats and sitting on them. DAVIS: And very well and good that
they didn't try to impeach McGovern the night before elections. Considering

that SG has already assumed the position of interpreting McGovern's crimes
as unimpeachable, the attempt would have been naked political grand
tanding. McGovern is not the problem, not the issue, but merely a component

of a system that the "opposition"'s misdirected attention has allowed to
continue We get an interesting look at the sky while falling. The few who
I've seen express genuine moral and political savvy are coninually brunted
from the social elite in SG, and are now being pushed from the
"revolutionary elite" that is rising. You will sto these mindless quarrels
now if any of you want any chance to ever make the changes you all profess

I am an FBK alum. I count Pat Siracusa and Peter Vlcek among my friends. I
have met Mr. Grapski, but apart from talking with him at a few parties, I
did not have much interaction with him. He seemed nice enough, I suppose. I

am a member of Phi Kappa Ta fraternity, which is apparently still active in

campus politics. I dabbled in SG, with some success and some failure, and
found the experience interesting. Now that you know my background, let me
say this: you people are silly. I never understood why people in campus
politics behaved the way they do. There is some money involved, to be sure
(and many treat SG as a personal shopping spree), but year after year, the
money tends to go where it's "needed", and the average student could not
care less abou SG; not because they are ignorant; not because they are
duped, but because it really is not particularly important. Grades are
important. God is important. Ethnic cleansing in Serbia is important. Gator

football is important. Student Government is n t important. Perhaps the
most disappointing aspect of this warped SG mentality is that some very
talented people are wasting their time in this bickering. Mr. Grapski, if
nothing else, was a very passionate person. I'm sure many of you involved
in this mess today could actually contribute something to your community if

you weren't wasting your time with this nonsense. The next time you lose an

SG election, why not spend the next semester tutoring a middle school
student, or, better yet, focus your ener ies on the corruption and abuse in

Daniel, since you enjoying qouting others (often in words they did not
use), I will qoute you "A message for those who have the bad habit of
virulently attempting to defame and attack: When you write malignant ad
hominem attacks against me, it means that you have lost the argument, the
debate, the question, and the truth. It means that I have WON, and you have

LOST." This is all your page is anymore. A long list of defamatory attacks.

Be honest with people, why is it you don't mention on this page that all of

the anti-vision additions were made shortly after you were not slated with
vision. I am sorry that you feel you should have been slated; however,
there were better candidates for your area (yes plural more than one better

candidate than you). You will probably add critical remarks, false
commentary, and such to the end of this so I'll simply allow YOUR words to
speak for themselves. Anyone who reviews this page can easily see your
personal motivations and your malicious ways. Danny, you have lost sight of

the ideals of ethics and morals. Attributing false qoutes and actions to
individuals will not get you the senate seat you so badly wanted--the
senate seat which in a single member district the voters did not want you
to have. All this will get you is legal troubles. It's a shame that a
resource such as this web page had to turn into such a defamatory wall of
hate that geocities is currently reviewing revoking all of your web
privilages for life. The way to make change is to go to senate meetings,
voice your concerns, and work through constructive not destructive
measures. It is ironic neither me or you are senators but we both find
fault with our student government. The difference between me an you is that

I go to senate meetings, I learn the facts, and I formulate options of
correcting wrongs. I do not simply sit around and complaing that Action is
bad, Vision is bad, independents are bad, apathetic voters are bad, how is
everyone bad? How is it you are the only one who is right? Nari Heshmati

republican male college student ( I think I have covered everything
including the positions I currently hold which reveal and bias I have;
however, I am sure Danny can make up some reason why my arguements are
false and his are true)

Editor's response: Again, I wish to state that I only respond to guestbook
entries when they attack my honour and principles, which yours certainly
does. Calling something I have written defamatory when it is not, is
defamation in itself. Anyone who reviews this entry of yours could tell it
surprisingly came right after you were tapped in the "hall of stupidity".

Although those quoted would like to say it is always out of context,
sometimes it isn't; every word, ad verbum, is what the person in question
really stated. There has never been any quote taken out of context; the
excuse you give is an old politician's retort. Although you would like to
potray my disgust with VISION as solely resulting from "not being slated",
you know damn well better than that. Why didn't you also mention that both
you and the Party Chair personally called me before slating and promised to

vote for me in the slating committee? Then why don't you mention, that
after the interviewing for slating, both of you withdrew your support,
leaving an under-qualified candidate with the slate? The person you slated
has had

1. No previous involvement with the VISION party, and
2. No previous involvement with the area or the area council (which I was
elected treasurer of), and
3. No previous experience or involvement with Student Government or campus
issues.

Nari nari, you know better than this. . . you stated to me after the
election results were in from the Treasurer's run-off in the spring that
you wanted to "Create a political machine" with the VISION party in
control. During the summer, you stated, and I quote (in a conversation
witnessed by Charles Grapski):

Nari Heshmati: action...i want their people to back us....slow
changes.....i'll explain in detail fully later we have connections with the

guys moving up in action..with vlcek gone...once mcgovern is gone...things
are open for taking. It would be nice to control both parties

Myself:Impossible. FBK has the control

Nari Heshmati: nope...i want fbk too...no reason to destroy the
machine... just change the operator if we
push blind tapping we can take it

You are the type with the bad habit of forgetting that the first amendment
exists. Remember Nari, truth is an absolute defence against defamation. You

shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free; or at least free
from an insider turning the once independent party into a pawn of the
system.

This is getting ridiculous. Danny's site has become a vehicle for the likes

But now I will. You are one of the most unethical, imoral students ever to
grace this campus. You have a history of such behavior. You are one of the
people who have given FBK and UF a bad name.

As for arrests -- that is irrelevant. Fact - I have never committed nor
been convicted of a crime. Fact - I have stood up against the likes of you
every day on this campus, in a moral, ethical, and consistent manner. You
are trying to intimidate me -- and it does not work.

For those who read this they should be informed that you are a public

person of your unethical stature deserves to serve in such a position of
public responsibility.

As for your comments in this past message -- let me state this, they too
are defamatory, as well as untrue. Furthermore I am drafting a letter to

As for Danny, I had hoped you would wise up. You are now a tool of the

Comments:
Lets get a few facts straight here. I find it quite interesting Mr.
Chandler has written his comments -- and he certainly has not actually read

mine (actually means read the content -- not the words). Because he clearly

misunderstands me.

The fact of the matter is -- that I was critical of Vision long before
Danny. And Danny and I have spoken about it on many occasions.

What Vision has done over the past year has been wrong. And I am truly
disappointed in them. I do not believe they have been effective, nor a
truly representative independent party.

But I also understand WHY they have been what they have. And that has been
primarily not a malicious reason -- but a sincere belief on the part of
many in Vision that they were doing the right thing. Their mistake was
failing to truly understand the problem -- and to truly understand that
what we dont need is a mere "opposition party" but a party which is less a
party, and more a coalition of independent thinkers, who stand in strong
opposition of the current corrupt system (of which, by the way, Mr.
Chandler is a CURRENTLY active member) and who propose ways and means to
fix the problem.

The key point that needs to be stressed -- is that Danny himself made the
same statements Vision put on the fliers. And Danny has admitted to me that

he is simply using ANY weapons he can find against them -- because he now
sees them as the enemy. This, however, is being hypocritical.

And it is counterproductive to his own aims. The proof of its
counterproductivity can be clearly seen in Chandler's coming to his
defence.

Furthermore -- the main point about the Vision fliers -- is that they
stated FACTS. John McGovern did not "allegedly" post defamatory fliers. He
DID post them; he WAS PROVEN to have done so; he was found GUILTY by a
jury; and held CIVILLY LIABLE.

Therefore Vision did nothing illegal (and Danny knows that full well) --
despite McGovern claiming it is no different than what "I allege he did."
(See last weeks Alligator story on the Elections Commission). There is a
great deal of difference between the two.

1. Vision admits distributing the fliers. They had the Vision name on them.

And they were handed out in person. McGovern and FBK did not admit their
fliers. They posted them anonymously; and at night on boards.

2. Vision's fliers contained FACTS. McGovern and FBK's fliers contained
known FALSE STATEMENTS. The intent of which was to prevent me from winning
an election and to discredit me publicly.

3. I dont "allege" John McGovern and FBK posted and created these fliers. I

have PROVEN it. And they have been found guilty of it.

Now for Mr. Chandler's comments about my conclusions (negative) of FBK --
being based on a "few personal observations" and "without speaking with the

leadership in FBK."

My conclusions -- have been proven -- and there is a judicial notice in the

courts of the state of Florida which state, as fact, that Florida Blue Key
is primarily a political organization, which dominates campus politics and
student life, through a corrupt political machine and unethical and often
illegal activities. FBK is a followership honorary -- not a leadership
honorary. All of this has been proven -- with a wealth of evidence in
support of it. What Mr. Chandler needs to do is to provide evidence to the
contrary -- and he cannot.

My conclusions (and the means by which I have proven these facts to the
courts) have been based upon historical documentation ranging from 1920 to
the present -- and factual analysis. These are not a "few personal
observations."

In this trial I introduced documents from FBK ITSELF -- which, while not
written expecting to be shown publicly, describe EVERY allegation of
corruption and a political machine I have made.

Furthermore, in the trial, FBK members (the few who told the truth -- most
LIED (perjury) to protect the organization -- including their faculty
advisor -- supported ALL of my claims to FBK's corrupt nature.

This is all public record now. And Mr. Chandler has no leg to stand on.

As for not taking the time to talk with members of FBK. This is false. True

-- I have not talked with Chandler -- but Chandler is bullshitting
everyone. Here Chandler proposes to the Alumni Review Group that FBK will
eliminate the Group System -- yet Chandler has been the Pi Tau Group
Leader. Chandler also has written (seen on Danny's site) that the group
system is a "good thing" which is above and beyond FBK and is a "natural
product of democracy." Chandler knows (or at least should) this is absurd.
FBK IS the Group System. That is how he became a member; that is how
McGovern became Student Body President; and that is how Chandler became FBK

president.

Furthermore, this Saturday I am meeting with the FBK Alumni -- to discuss
these problems. I am the one who demanded the meeting -- so it is a hard
point for Chandler to try and make -- that I am just sitting back, without
facts, making accusations. And I am doing this because I care, not about
FBK, but about the negative impact it is having on the student body, the
university, and the community. And I am committed to putting an end to that

negative impact. That is my motivation -- and always has been.

Now, as far as my criticism of Danny Davis goes, I like Danny. He is a good

kid. But I think he is misguided in his attack on Vision. Not that Vision
is beyond criticism. I am highly critical of Vision's actions. But I also
have talked to the individuals. And told them my criticisms. And I hope
that they will address my concerns -- and rectify the problem.

But Danny's attack on Vision has LOST the credibility of the argument that
he waged against FBK and McGovern. Because it has tended to be based not on

the facts first -- but on Danny's personal hurt feelings and anger. As such

he is using anything out there -- thus stating (contrary to fact -- and
contrary to Danny's knowledge -- and contrary to Danny's own position and
past actions) that the Vision fliers were ILLEGAL and that it was proof
that Vision placed politics over principles.

What Danny fails to state -- is that the phrase "placed politics over
principles" is not Danny's original words -- but MINE. I have stressed that

about Vision to him and to Vision members. And it is a serious concern.

However, the handing out of the McGovern fliers (by the way -- there were
TWO. One stating, factually and truthfully, that McGovern was found GUILTY
of defamation (and by the way conspiracy to defame -- both charges which
FBK was also found guilty of); the other showing McGovern parking in the
Law school faculty parking lot using an official business decal. That, by
the way, is a VIOLATION OF THE STUDENT BODY CONSTITUTION. And an abuse of
power.) ... so the handing out of the fliers was not what Vision did wrong.

This is the message that Danny is now supporting (even though he knows this

to be false). What Vision did wrong was not standing up the past year in
Senate and elsewhere demanding McGovern's removal from office (which, by
the way, is mandated by STATE law). That is what they did wrong. And the
reason the fliers were wrong -- is that they should have been unnecessary.
There should have been no reason for Vision to have to have told everyone
they were opposed to McGovern -- this should have been known to the public
-- by their actions. IT was not. So they put the fliers out. There was
nothing illegal about the fliers -- what was wrong was the need for them.

If Mr. McGovern truly believes that the Vision fliers are similar to HIS
fliers about me in 1995 -- he has a lawyer -- I suggest he take them to
court, as I did, and see if he has a case. It would be much easier --
because Vision doesnt deny putting them up. The problem is -- they are not
defamatory. They are not even factually incorrect. And he has no case.

I have stated -- and will continue to state -- John McGovern and FBK were
found GUILTY of defamation and conspiracy to defame. If they truly believe
they have a case -- I challenge them, take me to court. They cannot.
Because it is a FACT.

In conclusion, my concern over Danny's current position, is not that Vision

is free from criticism. There is a lot to criticize. But that a) Danny's
current criticisms are bordering on the unsubstantiated rantings of someone

(who in this case justifiably) is personally upset; b) Danny's current
criticisms are not, therefore, gaining the merit of his earlier critical
and factual analyses; and c) Danny is losing focus of his real concern, and

wasting his energy on side issues -- Vision has problems, but they are not
the enemy.

Nothing, I think, states LOUDER the fact that Danny's current activities
are diverting his attention from the real problem -- then Mr. Chandler's
response in "his defence." Come on -- Chandler doesnt like Danny. He is
attempting to use him. He want Danny to keep focusing on Vision; rather
than FBK. What Chandler does not mention in his response -- is what is
contained about FBK on Danny's site.

I challenge Ryan Chandler -- if he can PROVE FBK is a "leadership"
honorary; if he can PROVE FBK is not engaged in unethical and illegal
activities -- to do so. Put up or shut up. Where's the proof.

Because I can -- AND HAVE -- proved the opposite.

And I have proved it with facts; with sworn testimony; with historical
documents; with analysis; and with personal observation.

Although I have perused this sight several times, I have not until this
moment decided to sign this book.

I find Mr. Grapski's recent commentary very interesting, if not somewhat
hypocritical. Grapski lashes out at Daniel Davis for wronging the Vision
party by exhibiting conflicting statements attributable to a Vision party
official. Grapski asserts that Mr Davis has allowed "personal feelings" to
cloud his focus. Yet all Mr. Davis has done is make and support an
observation. Grapski states that certainly "it is not true that all of the
people in Vision have become like the FBK-people." Well, it does not take a

genius to realize that "FBK-people," in Mr. Grapski's mind, denotes some
negative idea.

Regardless, if Mr. Davis is wrong because he bases his opinion on a part
rather than the whole, you too, Charlie Grapski, are wrong for labeling
Florida Blu Key as a corrupt organization based on a perception supported
by only a few personal observations. Interestingly, Davis appears to have
actually spoken with the Vision official he criticizes (the party chairman,

I believe). I wonder why you have not taken similar time to approach
someone truly representative of all of Florida Blue Key before making up
your mind based on a small minority of members you encounter?

Oh wait, I forgot. It would not matter what was said. Your mind is made up.

It really woul not matter what Mr. Davis' reason were for changing his
site. So long as the view and tone espoused on this site differs from
yours, he has to be wrong.

Someday Charlie Grapski, you will realize there is a Truth greater than
your own. Practice what you preach or quit preaching.

Good work Danny. I applaud you for sticking to your convictions, and for
pointing out something that is wrong even when those who are wrong are (or
were) allies. What VISION did was wrong, and they need to take
responsibility for their actions, or fall to the same critic sm that they
have doled out to the action party. Of course Vision and Action are
different in many ways, but you can understand when one group makes
accusations about another group about one action, and then performs a
similiar action (if not illegal, th n inappropriate),they leave themselves
open for criticism. As for the idea that the fliers were only "allegedly"
handed out, you are hiding behind double talk that we all criticize Action
for over and over again. I recieved a flier; can we all now agree that they

were handed out? I think that Dan has a legitimate beef with Vision, and
that Vision is the one who has alot of explaining to do. Why advertise
yourself as the "independent" party, if you are not willing to slate people

who work for the party imply because they are vocal independent thinkers?
What does Vision hope to accomplish by becoming the other side of the SG
coin? Until they learn to think outside the SG spectrum, Vision will be
nothing more than the loyal opposition, hoping to grab so e scraps from the

Action feeding frenzy. So why play their game?

Danny, This is quite unfortunate. Your page is losing sight and focus.
While it is true, there are problems in Vision, it is not true that Vision
= Action. That is a mistatement -- and an exageration, and your personal
feelings are getting in the way of your udgement. (In politics you will
have to learn that it is easy to let this happen, because it can get so
personal, but if you want to be truly effective; and truly what you claim
-- as well as what you claim to expect from SG; then you will have to learn

to put thos personal hurt feelings aside while you make judgements and
decisions. You are not currently doing this). As a result -- this valuable
site -- is becoming clouded. Remember this, Danny, I was the one who stated

that truly good politics puts "principles over pragmatics (and party
interests)" -- and I was the one who stated that some people in Vision had
reversed this principle -- to the detriment of the Vision group, as well as

the student body. It is true that Vision has been relatively ineffective.
It is true that some individuals in Vision have made bad decisions, and
done wrong things. But it is not true that all of the people in Vision have

become (or always were) like the FBK-people and FBK-backed parties. James
Salt has made several mistakes -- and I think you will find that he is the
first to admit it. But James Salt is not an ind vidual with malicious
motives. Quite the opposite. Everyone in this process is learning,
including yourself. Therefore they make mistakes. James did. Vision has.
But the fact is -- they are recognizing this, and trying to deal with it.
What you sho ld be doing is enlightening them as to what those mistakes are

-- and encouraging them to rectify them for the future. You too -- have
made mistakes. And this is one of them.
To point out how much you have lost sight -- look to your first claim that
Vision = Action. You rail against them about the McGovern fliers. Now look
to your own site. You have a picture of McGovern with a moustache drawn on
it; and you rail against Mc overn (deservedly). Thats what Vision did.
Nothing you have not done. The only real reason Vision's fliers were a
mistake -- was not the content -- or the supposed "negativity" -- but the
fact that if they had done their job; spoke out in senate; and demanded his

removal - they would not have HAD to put those fliers out. You know full
well that Vision's statement on the fliers was ENTIRELY ACCURATE. John
McGovern WAS found guilty. He was found guilty of defaming (me) and of
conspiring to defame (me). The jury's verdicts read as follows: "We the
jury find t at John McGovern DID..." these two acts. That is a finding of
guilt, in every definition. As a result of finding him guilty of these acts

(two acts in violation of civil laws) the jury THEN held him "civilly
liable" for those acts. This, however, is NO DIFFERENT than saying he was
found guilty. You know full well that you have said exactly the same thing
numerous times. You know full well what Vision did was NOT illegal. Yet you

have gotten so caught up in feeling the need to attack Vision; that you
have taken ANY argument, no matter how falac ous, and asserted it as yours.

Now, Danny, think a little deeper -- who does that make YOU like? In this
case, Danny Davis = Action/FBK would be equally as applicable to your
statements about Vision. This I know not to be true, just as I know that
the ndividuals in Vision are not all fitting of this description (although
some associated recently do fit that). Danny, think before you act. And I
think, knowing your intelligence, that you can see that you have erred
here. I hope you can put aside your hurt feelings (which certainly should
be hurt, given the recent events) to see the bigger picture. Charlie

Danny, Why your sudden change of heart with Vision? I'm a bit confused by
your statements. How you reached the conclusion that the Vision party is
totally about politics just like Action is totally nonsensical. It is
ALLEDGED that Vision handed out the "banned" flyers about McGovern, it
hasn't been proved. I was under the impression that any illustration of SG
Corruption would be OK in your mind if its purpose was to inform students.
How would passing out political flyers in a campaign differ from this?
"Guilty" or "civilly liable", whatever. The fact of the matter is that they

connote the same thing, as James pointed out in his article. So o me a
favor and lay off of James Salt because he has done nothing wrong in any
case. This incident does NOT prove that he is a "political party" man as
you have insinuated. I am also suspiscious of the timing of your "change of

heart" concerning Vision. It wouldn't have anything to do with you not
being slated for the Murphree Area now, would it? I'm disappointed that
you're throwing away the logical arguments that you hav made in the past in

order to launch an assault on Vision. By doing so, you are being
counterproductive to your own goal, which is, I assume, to end SG

1995. I was heading a joke party: "Florida Orange Key." But I did it with a

message. I had run for senate twice beforehand, with serious parites, and
lost to FBK by huge margins So I figured, I'll run under a joke party, but
I will look and talk like FBK. I had shirts, platforms, buttons... the
works. I even used some doublespeak during the debate. But the kicker was
when Peter Vlcek gave me one of those flyers that said Gra ski was a child
molester. Yes -- he actually GAVE one to me! And before he did s, I put my
hand up and said, "Are you sure this is OK for you to give this to me?" He
said yes, I relented, and he gave it to me... which I then gave to Grapski
the next ti e I saw him... anyway, I graduated in 1997 and came to
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (no, I can't pronounce it either...
everyone says RPI) in the Albany, New York area for graduate school.
Imagine my surprise when I was contacted by Joe Little in mi -March 1998 to

come testify in the Grapski v. FBK trial! Well, I flew into Gainesville in
early April, and saw old friends, and then I testified for about thirty
minutes on exactly what I wrote above. It was very interesting and
exciting, and I kept thi king to myself, "don't perjure yourself. Don't
perjure yourself. Don't perjure yourself..." I had a feeling that Vlcek
would do something stupid during the trial (and only because he was stupid
enough to give me that flyer in March 1995), and he did. e was representing

himself at the trial, and I thought he had a fool for a client. Anyway, he
asked me, "Why did I give this flyer to you?" (He didn't even say
"allegedly"...) And I responded, "Well, you're supposed to be this great
political thinker... maybe you wanted to see my reaction." He kinda mumbled

to himself after that, with a final "No more questions." Grapski got
everything he deserved in that trial, and Vlcek will get everything he
deserves... at any rate, I am doing fine here in upstate New York. Grad
school is everything I imagined, and I keep track of the FBK news by way of

the 'Net. Keep fighting!

Daniel, I commend you in your efforts to reform the much-maligned student
government here at our prestigious university. It is difficult to stand up
to opposition of any kind, let alone a power structure so deeply rooted in
the history of politics at the University of Florida. It is a frustrating
and disappointing issue…one that many people do not want to face, let alone

talk about. In a society that seems to stress grades over comprehension,
money over sincerity, and gain over morality, it is sometimes wearisome for

one to stand up for others in the pursuit of democracy, integrity, and
honesty. Anyone who takes up this cross deserves commendation for it is a
long, arduous road that offers no rest stops along the way.

The frustration and disappointment that many feel toward SG is natural.
Everyone wants to believe their elected representatives are impartial and
trustworthy, acting always in the best interest of their constituents.
Unfortunately, the majority of representatives in our SG are self-serving
as they wallow in self-exultation, drown in insidiousness, and asphyxiate
the very essence of democracy, WE the people.

Well, it is time that students at this university stop justifying their
apathy in the name of frustration, disappointment, and history (among an
array of other excuses). Change has to be initiated, not simply
conjectured. The current majority party has deceived the students at UF in
more ways than one. You expose these deceptions, lies, and fallacies to all

who are willing to listen. However, the plight is not yours alone, it
belongs to anyone with even a shred or morality. This includes the students

professors, and especially the administration who has stuck its head in the

sand one too many times as the frightened ostrich.

We can agree that procedures, policies, and provisions are all in need of
desperate reformation concerning SG. However, attitudes must change first
in order for these things to take place. One must have conviction to do
what she/he knows is right or prevaricate thyself to the world.

Danny, even in your facetious manner, you take up the cross on the road for

an honorable, equitable, and most importantly, democratic student
government here at UF. Your efforts are not simply praiseworthy, but
admirable.

The page was well done and the facts appear to be in order as far as I can
see. As a former Vision '97/'98 candidate and party Treasurer, I would like

to commend Daniel Davis for the time and effort that he put into
coordinating this information. It as been my experience that most of the
students at UF feel that the facts as they relate to GS and FBK and the
Power Group system is just part of an opposition party "conspiracy theory"
which has no basis in fact.

I would like to publicly state that, in my opinion, nothing could be
further from the truth.

Universities, by their very nature are transient institutions. The
advantage that the FBK system has is that it is able to pass down its
organization to successive students. Opposition parties in the past have
been somewhat unorganized and have not been in a position to pass down
their organization from older to younger students because, for the most
part, these organizations were built around a temporary issue, and when the

students who were working on that specific issue graduated, any future
oppositio party would have to start over at "square one."

If this web site does nothing else, it is my hope that it would inform new
students of the things that have gone on in the past in relation to SG, and

to alert them as to what will continue to happen if they ignore their
responsibility to go out and vote. You as the student reading this message
do not have to go out and vote for the Vision Party, or the Honest Party,
or any other opposition party that surfaces from time to time. But I would
ask that you take the time to examine the issues and the candida es and
take the time to vote, so that the Party that does win can do so because it

received a mandate from the students as a whole, and not just from less
than 10% of the eligible voters. Please remember, if you do not tell your
elected officials what yo want, and then hold them accountable at the polls

- then you are getting out of government what you have put into
it...nothing, and that is a terrible waste of time and resources.

Nice page. Keep the fight up, keep the misinformation flowing and the

what the politics are like at UF but having been a student of FSU and UCF
its probably simillar. A popularity con est in which a small vocal minority

votes and is represented. The majority is not represented cause they dont
give a shit anymore. Its like that at the student, local, state and federal

government levels. Nobody cares anymore. The elected officials are ju t
figure heads manipulated by the powers that helped them get elected. Mabey
not so much at the student gov. level as at the federal, but the point I'm

Wow. I wrote that last entry without looking at the others, and before
doing more than giving this site a once-over. As an outsider, I have to say

that most everything on this page is confusing and sometimes bewildering. I

do not have the time to read al the archives, nor to look at any other site

regarding these issues. From what little I can glean from jumping into the
middle of an obviously ongoing debate, I can only make one truly confident
statement:

My goodness! How different your school is from mine!

We have a separate Political Union (YPU) and student government, the Yale
College Council (YCC). The YPU brings in big political guns and they
keynote speak before a student debate. I would have to say the best
parallel I see here to our YPU student deb tes would be this guestbook. As
for the YCC, well, they really have no power, so there is very little
interest. I believe the last voter turnout was something along the lines of

35%, and this was after they put the ballots online so that one could vote
at anytime for 3 or 4 days from one's email account. As far as I can tell,
they organize social activities and "advise" the administration on student
related matters, but that is the extent of their duties.

It is funny to note that the latest campus outrage was over the fact that
the YCC got the Indigo Girls for our Spring Fling instead of a group with
more broad-based appeal. This was our "scandal". It seems rather frivolous
in light of what appears to be real problems of politicking and shady
dealings that are facing your SG and campus.

As a member of the YPU and specifically the Tory Party, my college
political experience has been one of philosophical idea exchange, rather
than true politics. I am grateful for this, seeing as i have a lifetime to
be upset and outraged at my government.

Also, as an officer of a sorority, I have to say to my fellow Greeks at UF
that you are lucky that you are important enough at your school to cause
such debate. The frats here can attract attention from time to time in ways

other than parties, but so orities are basically ignored. Even if it is
negative press, be grateful that when you speak,someone actually listens
and cares. Apathy is far worse than controversy.

Oh dear, I may have just contradicted myself, as I earlier stated that I
was glad that student politics were not so involved and implied that I
myself am quite apathetic to the YCC. To defend myself, I can only say that

I have no issues to complain about in terms of student government. So far,
whenever anything has even slightly bothered me, student action committees
were formed which rectified (or at least attempted to) the situation. A bit

of a sad defense, I admit, but hey, it's almost 1AM and my min is shutting
down.

To conclude, I apologize for the length of this entry. The jarring
differences I saw compelled me to write. If I misunderstood any of the
characteristices I saw in campus, I'm sure Mr. Davis will let me know.

Cheers from Connecticut.

Dear Mr. Davis- Your web page reflects quite a bit of effort. Your
passionate distaste for injustice is a wonderful quality. However, I would
invite you to take your thirst for knowledge beyond what you have already
done- more specifically, to Senate and Budget meeti gs. You are undoubtedly

aware of the Alligator's tendency to selectively edit and publish that
which the editorial staff chooses. You are also probably aware that the
reporter covering the trial for the Orlando Sentinel was living with
Grapski at the ti e. I'm not filing any accusations- quite frankly, I don't

know Grapski and have never even meet Vlcek. But, I would encourage you to
open yourself up even more for information. Neither of the major parties
have spotless records. Vision and Action memb rs have been known to destroy

each other's paraphernalia, and senators from both parties have proposed
controversial (to say the least) budget appropriations. Talk to these
people- ask questions before you accuse. You will be amazed at the things
that ca happen when you let go of your anger.

Our private conversations have left me slackjawed, and as I read your page

Gordon who pointed out that for a l your rhetoric (yes, that) about budgets

and so forth, have you ever been to a budget meeting? Difficult as it may
sometimes be to see opposing views as at all valid (you sometimes KNOW that

you're right, you know?), to be successful as a journalist and political
commentator, it is neccesary to be more than a satirist, and to
successfully change th system, it is neccesary to be more than a spectator.

Here more council than your own. I suspect I will be targeted for one of
your so-scathing retorts, so I remind you to think about why you'd be doing

it. Good day, and fight a better fight.

It is not my responsibility to baby-sit SG budget meetings. It is the
responsibility of the budget committee, the treasurer, and other SG
members. WE THE PEOPLE ELECT representatives to REPRESENT us. Hence, I cast

my vote for my student senators, executives, and they form their own
meetings and committees.

This page is the most god-awful piece of trash I have ever encountered in
my existence. The arguments are weak and illogical, and the the humor is
just not very funny. I have no idea who has produced this sorry example of
freedom of speech, but whoever it is should be pushed up against a wall and

shot. All student government operations at UF are a joke, and the people
who cannot see that need mental therapy. Usually, strong attackers of a
political party are made by people who yearn for power themselves, but they

usually have none and can only compensate their faults by creating lame web

pages for people to make fun of. This page sounds like it was written by an

over-competitive asshole who takes every rejection as a personal insult and

instead of confronting people face to face, he slithers behind their backs
and writes mean things about them -- in the tradition of all pathetic wimps

with no self-esteem. Looking over the guestbook once more it almost seems
like it serves only to boost the author -- this Danny characters -- sorry
relations with his peers. I feel embarrased myself that I even spent so
much time reviewing and replying to this garbage. Whatever.

Editor's response: They tell me to take it easy on stupid people, and I
try. They tell me not to be so direct with inferior intellects, and I try.
I really do try. But every time I have to read a malignant entry like
yours, I cannot help but respond with the appropriate righteous
indignation.

Oh my. . . where shall we begin? You state, "The arguments are weak and
illogical", thus assuming all of the arguments and propositions in this
publication are so. Yet, if they are all so wrong, why cannot you name a
single one that is wrong? Not even one? That is an interesting thought. And

there are no "sorry" examples of freedom of speech in this country. (with
perhaps, the exception of your defamatory and malignant guestbook entry)

Where are the main objections that you should therefore have? You say the
knowledge within this publication is illogical, yet you commit two glaring
logical fallacies in your first few sentences. Argumentum ad hominem, and
Argumentum ad baculum; attacking a person instead of the idea, and also
fallaciously arguing that they "should be pushed up against a wall and
shot" (the second fallacy {among countless others} an appeal to brute force

and not logic). Apparently, you believe that my arguments are entirely
fallacious without exception, though no less than former president of FBK
Pat Siracusa has corroborated with the Inside FBK section of this site (see

proof.html). Of course, you giving a death threat is SO much more logical,
you are beginning to sound like Spock from Star Trek.

SG "operations" are a joke? You will, perchance, not find it quite as funny

when you are part of a student organisation that needs funding from SG and
does not get it. You will not find it so funny when you learn that
kickbacks and illegal bidding practices are been allegedly going on
(Remember former SG Tres. Joey Standlen's resignation over the advertising
bid?) You will not find it as hilarious when you find out that the status
quo has completely disenfranchised almost the entire student body (see the
votes to senate seats discrepancies located under "Inside FBK") Have you
ever used telegator? SW Rec centre? Did you laugh as you used those SG
funded services?

Oh but I forget; according to your brilliant logic, if you don't find
telegator, the SW Rec centre, and the on-campus buses (all of those are SG
"operations") to be a "joke", then in your logic system they "need mental
therapy". So your perfect Spockian logic has every student who does
register by phone (while laughing) to be in a dire need of a psychiatrist
(you must be feeling lonely in your current group therapy). "No
self-esteem"? Wow! Not only do you have such perfect logic, but you also
have the unique and non-existing ability to give correct psychoanalysis
(which usually takes years of intense vis-a-vis therapy) without ever
seeing, speaking, or even knowing someone. That is an amazing discovery in
the field of psychological science! You are quite talented (it almost makes

up for your many other faults in communication and debate - {for the
record, I said almost })

As for the tired old line "you just want power for yourselves", I have
never run for a SG office, nor am I an official member of any party. The
only power I desire is to democratic power to vote for whom I choose. I am
a concerned student, and with people like you around, I have every right to

be concerned. You say that "he slithers behind their backs and writes mean
things about them . . ." I find that to be "a joke", since that IS EXACTLY
WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. Suprise, suprise. . . This WWW site has been published
for the ENTIRE world to see. . . that's not exactly "behind their backs",
now is it? (whoever's backs you are referring you so logically did not
mention)

But now I feel embarrassed that I even spent so much time reviewing and
replying to your garbage. What a joke you are, son. Whoever you are. Or as
you like to say, whatever .

Danny, I decided to add my comments to your wonderful page. Yes indeed, you

did coordinate this page and write most of it long before you met me. And
may I say I WAS IMPRESSED. You are truly a well informed and well
intentioned student. Any of the detractors on his page have the opportunity

to attack your ideas -- but obviously cannot -- so they sink to ad hominem
attacks.

The truth of the matter is that the University of Florida, with the support

of John Lombardi and the rest of the UF administration, has supported and
condoned FBK's domination and control over SG -- and FBK's hazing (to put
it mildly) of the Greek System. On this last point -- for those of you who
think that Danny, I, or any others fighting this battle are anti-Greek --
this simply is not the case. Members of Greek organizations are students
too. And as students they are being denied their rights to a resp nsible,
ethical, and representative SG. And in that denial they are losing out.
Just think of it this way -- how many Greek houses have been put on
probation -- or even removed from campus for hazing violatons. Well, when
FBK threatens a house and/or its embers with retaliation for not actively
supporting its party (such as refusal of its members being tapped into FBK
((and you thought it was about being a leader!!)); or refusal of its
members being slated for senate, or being given a cabinet directorship,
etc.)-- that my friends is HAZING -- and it violates UF's conduct code.
Fraternities have been punished for it -- why not FBK? You ask the
question.

The real harm, though, is that done to us all as citizens. UF is teaching
the wrong lesson. It, through SG, is teaching the average student that it
is not worth the trouble participating in government -- because its
corrupt; that its not worth standing up for your rights -- because the cost

is too high - and you'll probably lose. And its teaching our state and
nation's future leaders -- not how it OUGHT to be done in the real world.
But how to get ahead through corrupt practices. Lie, cheat, steal --
threaten, bribe, coerce. These are the tools UF gives our future leaders.
And in not taking action -- John Lombardi condones the actions of FBK,
Vlcek, McGovern and the rest. That is a bad lesson for our students. But
that is the University of Florida. I have tried to change it in my years
here. And I have tried to expose it to the public. There is little personal

reward in this -- beyond meeting people like yourself, Danny.

Keep up the good fight.

I would like to respond to the idiotic statements made by some fellow Greek

members. It is all good to say what you think however illogical they are,
but at least be somewhat respectful of views that may not always coincide
with yours, including dissenti g views from many of your own brothers and
sisters who happen to just not verbalize them. It is WRONG for Greeks to be

a target of all these attacks. HOWEVER, FBK has PURPOSELY MANIPULATED the
inherent "Greek vs. Non-Greek" scenario to further cause tension. It
doesn't have to be that way and SHOULD not be that way. The Action Party
does no represent Greeks but is a puppet of FBK. Fraternities and
sororities should not be given token positions just to be given the false
sense of security that these brothers and sisters can even GET THINGS DONE
for them. If Student Government continues to xclude students, than Greeks
themselves are hurting because of the low representation that results which

further weakens their resolve (and everyone else's) in issues of the day.
As an independent Greek, I made my own decisions on the basis of what was
best for the Greek system and the entire Student Body, in getting things
done, not just to pad a resume. I hope those who read this, deeply consider

that IT IS NOT GREEK vs. NON-GREEK but getting things done for ALL students

vs. padding a resume.

Daniel, I really like the site. It was forwarded to me by a college buddy
who was one of the few deserving and ethical FBK members. I was the author
of a letter to the editor of the Alligator earlier this month explaining
FBK operations. Unfortunately, the let er was edited, and some of the best
parts were not printed. However, I found a quote on your FBK trial page
that I think should be removed. It is: Bobek: "Do you know what a leading
question is?" Bondi: "Yes" Bobek: "Isn't it one that. . . [proceeds then to

lead into the question]" -Barry Bobek, Attorney for defendant John
McGovern, cross-examining Brad Bondi and evidently unaware of the irony of
his words While it may be true that the question he asked was a leading
question, leading questions are allowed on cross-examination. The only time

that leading questions are disallowed is on direct or redirect examination
(unless a request by the examining attorn y to treat the witness as hostile

is granted by the court, or the witness is an adverse party). FED. R. EVID.

To the people who criticize Daniel's right to express his political views :

shame, shame, shame. If you stupid ass critics want to show discontent with

Daniel's statement, argue it on the facts and with reason, not on personal
cheap shots. Taking cheap s ots at people shows me that you are a dumb ass
who hasn't the capacity to THINK. FBK knows that they are on a sinking ship

right now. Their tricks will only get dirtier, their attacks only stronger.

My advice to my brothers and sisters: Hold the battle line. Do what is
right by recognizing true leadership and merit, not bowing down to the
aristocratic, political machine. These attacks on Daniel are only natural.
When a wild animal, who doesn't have the ability to reason, is trapped in a

corner, it will fight back in its own instinctual way. It will claw and
snarl, but it can't compete with the barrel of a gun. I just wanted to
congratulate all of my fellow NATIONAL BLUE KEY brothers and sisters who
were inducted the other night : Daniel Davis, Mark Dembinsky, Gary
Slossberg, Jim Stanton, Brad Casey, you guys are the bomb. We will be
carrying on the legacy of Gr pski and Plaza, the paragon of UF leadership.
To all of the supporters of the establishment out there : I still hold out
hope for you, hope that you will see the light. You can't fight the light,
for it is right. WE represent the majority on this campus, regardless of
whether the majority participat s in the political process. McGovern and
his cronies are an albatross around your necks. Remove it from your neck or

you will forever have a stench about you. It's OK to embrace change. I've
got love for you all, but maintaining the status quo is only destroying
you. Show some in ividuality and pride in yourself by standing up for what
is right. FBK is a machine. Picture it as a car. This car has struck a lot
of passersby. But cars break down sooner or later. FBK got totalled, and
when cars get totalled, they need to go to the junkyard. So to all of the
beholders of the status quo, step a side, the new wave is in town.

Shame on each and every person who seeks only to tear down the system.
Also, let he who is without sin cast the first stone..... For those of you
with perverse agendas.. and you know who you are, shame on you. This is not

high school anymore, nor is it a place for all you ex-hackers techno geeks.

What SG should be is to serve the UF student body. So far, I have not heard

from one person that is QUALIFIED or WITHOUT SELF INTEREST who would be an
appropriate candidate for any position. Daniel, get a life. IF your gang of

computer wiz kids put half as much time into school work as you have here I

would probably see your name on the Dean's list. But will that ever happen?

Probably not. I wonder how many of the people who are casting stones at Mr.

McGovern and FBK were turned down for membership in the past and now acting

out in revenge??? Bottom line is that if change is desired by the student
body, the only way it will occur is to rid SG of both the ACTION party, AND

Charlie's party. They are both politically organized to get for themselves
all that they can. But, is not that what global politics is all about? Ask
Charlie, he is a PhD student in Political Science. That alone suggests that

he is wise to the hooligan plans and policies that have been traditional in

politics. It might make each and every student sick, but then again, this
is one step away from the real world and real world politics is just as
dirty, just as full of political games, incentives, and partisanship.
These, of course, are not illegal just causal of extreme indigestion.
ACTION is not illegal. Charlie is not illegal. It is politics.
Qualifications are the bottom line. Show me a candidate with
qualifications, and I will show you a person that has been brought up in an

informal political organization like Charlie's group and the ACTION party.
That is the only way to get the qualifications that are required to
effectively hold office and oversee >$8 million worth of A&S fees. Daniel
get over it. It is the game that has ruled the world since feudalism was
replaced with some form of political involvement by the people. I just hope

for your sake that those of you who condemn these political systems are not

political science majors, or you will fail, fail, fail in your classwork.

A special guest response by Charles Grapski: While this commentator remains

anonymous, I choose to correct some errors. First, tearing down a corrupt
"system" is taking positive action toward making things as they ought to
be.

As for people with "agendas" -- let me reiterate what has publicly been my
agenda for years. SG indeed ought to be for the UF student body. And it
ought to be teaching a positive lesson about what government and politics
OUGHT to be -- not a training ground for corruption.

As for the notion that those of us fighting against the FBK system have
been turned down by FBK for membership in the past -- get a clue. Most
people fighting against FBK would never associate themselves with the
organization. I for one never have and never would apply to FBK. If FBK
inducted me on its own I would refuse to allow them to place me on their
membership list. It would be a dishonor to be involved in such an
organization.

Now, back to my past and present public agenda -- and the comment about
"my party". It is true that I am a PhD candidate in Political Science. What

you may not know is that my interest is in establishing democracy. And what

you probably do not know is that I am opposed to the concept of political
parties. The history on this one is pretty clear -- I founded the
Independent Student Coalition -- and through it ran people for office in
SG. However, the publicly stated intent was not to be a party seeking the
self-interest of its members -- which I oppose -- but to begin a process of

change orientated towards establishing a self-governing process aimed at
identifying and achieving the common good. Maybe if you just asked before
making unsubstantiated comments. Or maybe if you actually paid attention to

what has been both said and written in the past.

And by the way -- I do condemn these "political systems." And as you
noted, I am a political science PhD candidate. Why have I not "failed,
failed, failed?"

Editor's response: No one wants to "only tear down the system". I want to
reform it, to bring it back to the students, where it belongs. As far as
"he who is without sin cast the first stone" (ignoring the fact that your
insulting signing was a stone, and you have declared yourself a deity)
neither I nor any member that I know has played the uncountable dirty
tricks that the ruling machine has. Where to begin? A Free keg party to the

frat that takes the most vision fliers down, midnight posting of
vision/independent fliers by action agents illegally to frame opposing
candidates on elections code violations, kickbacks and graft to certain
people through the a&s fee fortune, but the list goes on.

Get a life? Ad hominem. No logical response to this publication, just
personal attacks.

"Perverse attacks"? Oh, I see; it is PERVERSION to criticise your own
government in a free land.

Techno-hacker? No, this WWW site was placed on the internet so these things

could be published and shown to all the world. The WWW is means, not an
end; it is a way to communicate literally through the pen. But you wouldn't

know much about that, would you? If you are so blameless, why did you not
even leave your name? Afraid? I thought we are just non-greek wimps who
like to order milk at bars? Huh?

You stated the fallacy of revenge, "I wonder how many of the people who are

casting stones at Mr. McGovern and FBK were turned down for membership in
the past and now acting out in revenge???" Guess what? You just
subconsciously admitted that THERE IS A SYSTEM THAT EXCLUDES ALL OTHERS WHO

ARE NOT "IN" WITH IT. Don't worry about the slip, your therapist will
explain it in greater details (like they always must do to you).

One more thing: There is no such thing as "Charlie's party". This site was
designed before I ever met him or anyone who knew him, and before I spoke
to anyone who is a member of the opposition. I am a concerned student, and
that is all. Now, why don't YOU get a life?

I would like to make some other comments about my former involvement at UF.

As many of you are aware, I was chairman of the Alliance Party in Fall of
1996. Although I believe that the system is one of the most unethical
things I have ever seen, some of he people within the organization are good

people who are trying to make a difference in a completely messed up
system. Unfortunately, I tried that and it DID NOT WORK. As a fellow Greek,

I will argue that it is wrong to exclude just because a person is Greek. As

a new student at Binghamton University in upstate NY, things are much
different here. Things actually get done, whether win or lose. There is no
hostility, as I'm working with my former opponent when I ran for VP. There
is no bullshit. As I read the guestbook, I will continue to make comments.

Danny , You really have too much time on your hands. Your facts about Blue
Key, SG and the Greek System are inherently wrong. Yes I am in Blue Key and

in a fraternity. And yes I believe as do others that the
Dorworth/Lasso/Gordon Administration has done a good job. The two are not
mutually exclusive. Imagine that with all your time and energy that you
spent on this web site you would have applied for a position in SG cabinet.

Only then could we all claim that we are trying to make a difference.

Editor's response:

Mr. Vice President:

I understand your public stance; I would do the same if I were you. But
different people see different things in different light, and may I just
state a few things about your entry?

You used the term mutually exclusive when juxtaposing being Florida Blue
Key(I am in Blue Key National- mistakingly you think FBK is the original
'blue key') and thinking the Dorworth administration did a good job. This
does not make logical sense. . . you should have said 'I am not in a
fraternity, but think they did a good job'. That would have made your
'mutually exclusive' term effective. But you are in both FBK and an IFC
fraternity, meaning although you personally are known very well for being
truthful and honest, you may not be the most objective viewpoint. You are
(were) part of the administration. Your leadership in itself was seemed to
me to be without the scandal that faced others in the majority. For a more
detailed opinion on the year of action in power see
http://www.geocities.com/collegepark/library/7971/inaction html it
describes various actions taken and promised on the action flier.

If i applied for a position in SG cabinet, not being in a fraternity, not
knowing anyone in a fraternity, the chances of being selected are slim to
none

But that is besides the point; certain cabinet directorships should be
elected, not appointed. -d.d.

sheep through Student Government as you do. Some of us do actually take the

time to educate ourselves before we vote. Some of us do visit other

believing what is handed to us on a bright orange paper in the middle of

Well, well, well. It's that time of year again. Time to rip down Vision

etcetera etcetera. You guessed i : it's SG Presidential Elections! Now that

the elite is in power once again, they will continue their tyranny on the
third floor.

They have NO respect for student organizations on this campus, most
notably the Inter-Residence Hall Association, the Bo rd of College Councils

(just ask Jim Stanton), National Blue Key Honor Fraternity (the REAL
leadership honorary co-founded in 1994 by Charlie Grapski and Raymond V.
Plaza), and the list goes on and on. They're condescending and
uncooperative, insisting that they get their way. Let's take a brief stroll

through recent attempts to snuff out the opposition : threatening to zero
fund IRHA when Ray Plaza (former IRHA President) announced that he would
run on the Grapski ticket back in '95. Bad-mouthing Greg Cook for being
anti-Gree when he was Greek himself. Spreading vicious rumors that Jim
Stanton would reduce the Intermurals budget if elected. Even abstention
ballots don't count now! Hell, let's give a round of applause to the elite
: they could sell shit to a manure company. We bought shit and now we've
got it.

Here's coming from an experienced veteran of leadership here at UF. Having
served in residence hall governments, IRHA, working with BOCC, and knowing
a considerable deal about SG, it makes me sick how such a group can claim
to be leaders. They don't now the work ethic that real leaders go through,
when their residents want to check out a piece of equipment in the middle
of the night. Leadership is about self-sacrifice, not self-worship.
Leadership is about meritocracy, not aristocracy. Leadership is oing the
right thing, not the popular thing.

Vision recognizes this ethic. Its members come from all walks of life, but
they share one thing in common : a committment to real leadership. Folks
like Slossberg, Stanton, Zissimoupholous (sp?), Monchek, Heather Kelley,
Bret Taylor, Plaza, Grapski, etc That's leadership. Gook luck to Vision in

I guess Action is "thinking ahead", yeah preplanning the next fucking of
IRHA. I would not doubt a zero funding attempt if it did not mean losing
their "accomplishments" for next year. .It then tried winning IRHA's vote
with photo ops ACTION must be short for hypocrisy I have love for ALL but

Thank you for taking the time for organizing the facts and putting together

They really number so many.... As the elections end and SG fades away as it

always seems to after ele tions for another year, we can hope that the few
dedicated officials that will take office will make an attempt to pull SG
from the realm of the laughable to one that is willing to work for the

My outrage on how the corruption affected myself and the rest of the
members of my party was the only fuel we were running on in this election,
and action/fbk did nothing more than kindle that fire with all the dirty

Your work is commendable and your concern for the Univ. of Florida S.G. is
also understandable. Most of the points that you have come up with are
legitimate and based on facts. But isn't it true that at one point , you
yourself wanted to be part of the Gr eek system and the organizations it
controls? Maybe this fact has left you bitter and thirsty for revenge! I
agree with you on most of your arguments and concerns, but my question is ,

what is it that you are fighting for ? The upliftment of this university
via fare [sic] elections or you are simply trying to satisfy yourself by
avenging the greeks by using this merely as a platform ? And whats up with
all these other, obviously self written and narcisist remarks in your
guestbook ? I think that making fun of the greeks and sick humor like that
will not help you in whatever it is that you are trying to accomplish.
Anyways best of luck in your pursuit of justice and your webpage is quite
impressive !!

Editor's response: but 'tis all in good fun, isn't it?
