[ale] ALE forum ?

Fri Feb 25 13:51:33 EST 2011

For no good reason, that reminds me of my days in college as a Jaycee.

In one of the meetings a motion was made to disband the Jaycee chapter.
I was truly incensed - I felt if you didn't want to be a Jaycee any
longer why not just quit?   Why try to make everyone else quit at the
same time?   My only theory on that was the guy would have felt like
less of a loser if he could later say the chapter disbanded rather than
he quit.
