In 2017, We Are Governed by Privileged Frat Boys [View all]
Most of us who attended a college remember Fraternity Row and its tendency to consider itself the heart of the college, even though fraternity members were far outnumbered by other students who weren't interested in such organizations at all. A lot of those old fraternity boys go on to become corporate leaders and politicians. It's in their blood, really.
As they move on in life, they maintain some of that old self-centered groupism that fraternities celebrate. They know they're the very best of the best, because they've been telling themselves that for decades. They know they're right, because all of their buddies tell them they are right. They just disregard the rest of the population, because...well...those people are not like them.
In 2017, the frat boys are in power in Congress. They've managed to win their elections, just as they did back in their frat boy days. Their friends voted for them, and the rest of the student body wasn't all that interested in student government. The frats had the best parties, got the "best girls" and kept their ugly secrets well hidden.
Well, folks, it's time for the majority of the student body to say NO! to the frat boys. We need to have had enough of that late adolescent nonsense and insist on serious, thoughtful people doing the job of running government, if we're not willing to do it. It's time for the partying, self-centered bully boys to lose. Aren't we tired of them yet? Aren't we ready to call them out for what they are?
Let's shut down the frats, OK?
