Enough!

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, look out the window will you? Go ahead an look. You see that? That's the rest of the world, the world is spinning, the world is going on with it's daily life. Maybe we should too.

I mean, around here, everyone's flailing and "oh noes!-ing" around because of some mutant wackjobs. Mutant wackjobs? Guys, for us, that's THURSDAY.

ENOUGH ALREADY. They didn't kill us, they didn't even dent us (which I keep hearing over and over and OVER) so fine, pick up and move ON. Stare at your navel long enough and you will shove your head up your own ass.

Terry's right. Like you said, everyone's going through the same things right now. The difference here is that Elpis was directly impacted. You, by nature, can all become directly involved. You can take action, seize control. So could most of the staff, in various ways.

The students are on the outside. Coming into volunteer groups sponsored by others can work, but some of them want to be more proactive. To help in a way that doesn't depend on the sufferance of what others will set up for them, and what they've been allowed to do. Some day, ideally, they'll graduate and move on to live their own lives outside the school. They want to start learning how to handle things for themselves. I know you're trying to give them a voice in the existing structure (and for some it'll even help), it's just that in some regards this is a no-win situation. Either way you go, some people will feel it's not enough.

Student-run organizations like HeliX, though . . .
