Funny thing. Jon and I had just this "what if" discussion at the first ACUC. That time I came away reassured. This time, not so much. But I have seen this coming so I am not really surprised. Don't really even care anymore. I will leave the battles to you youngsters. I am too old and weary and long ago gave up my high ideals about AC being different from all the rest. It was just a matter of time until both Jon and I succumbed to the big dogs.
Idealism has a way of falling victim to the ravages of time just like the rest of us. It is so much easier to quantify ones success in terms of money than in terms of "good deeds done."
