Daniel's theory of ASB de-evolution

Castillo also went on to tell me that if students were really interested in running for elections, they need to go ask questions and find out for themselves. She said that no one is going to give you anything; you have to go get it.
Upon further prodding, Castillo admitted that she first saw that ASB applications were due when she saw it announced in the El Paisano newspaper. This in turn led her to inquire about the ASB elections.
The funny thing is that the announcement in the newspaper came upon my suggestion that we run an announcement for ASB elections. The announcement in the paper did not appear because of any request from ASB, because we didn't receive any, but rather as a protest against ASB keeping the elections so secretive.
As anyone knows, with variety in any species, we get a stronger basis for excellence and survival, but when there is inbreeding, the organism suffers greatly. This is how I see the ASB elections.
Very little was advertised and thus we only have a gene pool consisting mainly of past members.
Instead of trying to get people from outside the organization and thus increasing the chances of having better debates and leaders, the ASB has resigned itself to ending up a weak and feeble specimen.
