When the turrets of time turn turbulent, rationality resigns to being rationed rather randomly, and despite the optimism of punk rock patriarchs and their pre-pubescent patrons, this brand of anarchy is never fun in the sun. Take that, Sex Pistols; Anarchy in the UK, my ass.
You see, chaos can cause quite catastrophic conditions to consequently be created, the kind in which depraved lunatics could thrive and amass into abominable forces of destruction and strange alteration. And let's face it folks, despite Bowie's urge for us all to turn and face the strange, ch-ch-ch-changes are not always the refrain in a catchy song.
Catastrophic is too big a word not to be scary as hell. This is why Student Government can be called the single most significant entity in the Northern Hemisphere, diligently battling both the "Godless communists" and my own unemployment.
You may imply as to who am I, to which I reply, "Why, I'm that Associate Justice guy. Hi! I first joined SG in 2005." Or I may just grunt incoherently without any kind of rhyme scheme at all. Anyway, as a justice in Student Government (SG), my minimal workload barely justifies the smug and contemptuous manner in which I arrogantly strut amongst the civilian, I mean student population.
For the most part, I am nothing more than eye candy for all as I sit at the weekly SG meeting with my ego-massaging placard before me, proclaiming my importance to the world.
Thankfully however, the vast majority of SG members not only surpass me in pay, but in hard work as well.
Indeed, I initially thought them all to be antisocial recluses, but have now come to realize that they are just extremely dedicated, disciplined to a level that I can't even hope to understand. Whenever I wear a hat, I tip it in their general direction. So too would many at WSU if they only knew of what SG can do, I think.
Therefore, I urge one and all to come out to the weekly SG meetings and share your personal suggestions or concerns, ask questions and become more involved in student affairs in general. Wright State has its very own Justice League whose only kryptonite is the apathy of their constituents: YOU.
Consider, please, that the entire city of Gotham has merely one Batman, while WSU gets not only a student elected Senate, but an executively appointed Cabinet thrown into the mix. Add a dash of a Judicial Branch, and you get quite the government body platinum level package.
Have it work in junction with the House of Representatives, and you have the niftiest combination since the spork. So, if you're hungry for a voice within the administration, then this is the tool by which to satisfy your metaphorical appetite. I hear the diner bell ringing, folks; who's ready to feast?
