Who cares?
     Good question: I doubt that very many people care.  In fact, if you are student reading 
these remarks, you are probably in the minority.  Similarly, you probably care.  Libertas 
readers have the brain capacity and attention span required for concern.  No matter what 
the people in the admissions office told you, not everyone at this 'happy little college' is 
your equal in this respect.  After all it's a lot easier to worry about whether you'll fit into 
your black sexpants, or to brag about who fellated you last weekend.  Actively pursuing 
your beliefs takes time and energy, conviction and emotion.  
     We're the only people who need to care.  Systems are not democratic; the margins are 
always left critiquing the interior, redirecting courses and opinions. 
     Why bother?
     Another good question: I don't expect any of the criticism of this issue's Focus to 
effect idealistic changes.  Criticism is discourse, which is only information, language.  
But the Constitution is discourse.  The Bible, too.  Libertas has every intention of 
exposing alternative perspectives and re-examining convention.  Thinking and talking 
about things in a new way is the first step in change.  Discourse's nonsubstance has more 
substance than a sword. 
      Who do we think we are?
      The margins.  Everyone else is fair game, naked in our sights: direction and change 
comes through this discourse and the organizations that this discourse represents.  Yet 
this is not entirely true.  Truly we're all just satyrs too clever and energetic to spend all 
day with bottles and pipes.
