I realize that two columns were posted within very close timing to one another and I also realize that they pertain to the same subject. However, I feel that people are lumping the two together and not paying attention to the message I had in mind when I initially wrote this. My column is about petitions. Not about subbies. Not about upperclassmen. Not about glory. Or chances. It is about signing a petition when it matters to you. So if you were a subbie who signed the petition because you wanted your little buddies to have the option to scamper around all night with the other kids...good for you. Seriously. Yes, it is mature. What I do not agree with is merely signing because its there or because someone asked you to. Any petition. Not just ones about lock-ins. I felt that I needed to clarify because by the tone of these comments, it seems that a 'subbie issue' is being brought up over and over. There is a different column for that. I like subbies. But my column is not about them, it is about something bigger.
