Let me spell this out for you nice and neat and pretty: The petition is beside the point. Just in case that wasn't clear: The petition is beside the point. One more time for you: The petition is beside the point.

Let me quote, yet again, the thesis: “This event was meant to expose the utter and absolute waste inherent in our student government, in all governments. It was meant to show the absurdities of compulsory fees absurdly and mock anyone who thinks they know how to spend your money better than you with all the mockery we could muster. This event is a joke. The whole thing is just a big joke. The punchline, of course, being “Government Works!” It doesn’t. It can’t. And as long as some of us aren’t afraid to laugh at the jester pointing to the emperor without clothes, we can do something about it.”

Do you get it yet? For the love of God, no one gives a shit if some alumni thinks our petition isn't going to “succeed.” Obviously it's not going to, are you kidding me? Actually abolishing the ASUN? That's a pipe dream.

The point was to absurdly show inherent flaws of government.
