The deteriorating situation which has developed at USM reminds me of the story of a man who fell into a filthy cesspool. His head submerged down into the muck, then resurfaced, and the man yelled FIRE. The man's head submerged a second time, and a third time, and each time  the man came up he yelled FIRE. Another man heard his frantic cries, rushed over to the cesspool to rescue him, and asked "But why are you yelling FIRE? There is no fire." The first man replied "Because nobody would come if I yelled S***t. 

The moral of this story expressed in interogatory manner: why hasn't the IHL helped us out of this cesspool? Are we yelling FIRE when we should be yelling S**t?
