Subject: "And we can plop this puppy in here"- Mark Klempner's hatred
spells trouble for BU and the CDC

No doubt about it.
I should digitize Klempner's entire speech, so the HATRED and CONTEMPT
comes
through:

=========================BU Lab Slam Dunk to Almost sunk

Allen may be frustrated by what she considers a lack of respect. But
she's also
using this frustration as a motivational force. At one point, she
cited a comment
she claims was made by Mark Klempner, the biolab's director, at a
meeting several
years ago. According to Allen, Klempner called the biolab opponents
***"incompetent."***
(Klempner has since stated that he doesn't remember making the alleged
remark.)
"If Klempner would have treated us with respect, if he would have
answered our questions,
we would have been like, 'Biolab? These people seem like they're cool,
and we don't
know shit,' " says Allen. "We would have just went to the meetings,
done what we
had to do, maybe put up a little fight here and there.
"[But] you just don't call a person 'incompetent' in a room of 90 and
then expect
for that person to walk away," Allen continued. "And if that's what
you expect,
then that's a pretty good understanding of why you think this lab
should be here.
Because [you think] these people aren't competent. [You think] they're
sucking 40s
every day; they're smoking blunts every day; they're really not aware;
we got 'em
working three and four jobs; their kids are getting shot left and
right; everything
is going on pretty well. And we can plop this puppy in here."
