Why should it even matter what is really important here anyway? TTie Colby Echo reserves the right to edit all submissions. What seems to me to be important is that our economy is faltering in a recession, that means if we are lucky enough to get a job after graduation chances are we'll make considerably less than we hoped for. We may not, as many people are now finding out, be able to afford health insurance. That a whole generation of children, teenagers and young adults are being wiped out in the inner cities. That the cost of paying for our nationally ranked liberal arts education will rise, while sources of aid will be cut. That certain segments of our population will be ostracized, persecuted and discriminated against based on the opinions of the host of the 700 Club. Yes, these issues seem to be important.
