Okay, I usually just read these talk emails and don't reply, but even I
have had enough. I didn't actually vote for Rhett, but now I wish I did,
because then at least my vote would be making a statement. I'd be saying
how I don't think the UA represents me, and I certainly don't see any
progress. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right. In case you didn't notice
(and from your sarcastic emails, Kelly, it seems that you haven't), but
that's not the issue here: the issue is that a large portion of the student
body doesn't see anything the UA president does, even students who are
"involved." This is what you should be concerned with, and NOT attacking
other students.
