Dave, the difference is that no one gives a shit about you outside of your group of friends and family. At the very least, I hope that you realize that Ben was doing some bad shit that night. I agree that it's not his job to check ID's at the bar but it's still pretty fucking stupid for a guy that's already been accused once of sexual assault to put himself in the position of getting accused again, regardless of the merits of the accusations. If he's going to party with young women (and I've got nothing against him doing exactly that), then he should make sure that he's never alone with one of them unless it's overly obvious that it was all her idea. As of now, I don't think anyone can definitively say that about the Georgia case one way or the other.
