"Facebook has become something that is much bigger and a lot of ways better for the adult, but not necessarily for the college student," he said.

Rod ts said she doesn't like the new Facebook and is inter­ ested in "another way to con­ nect with people socially." Freshman Bobby Abdo thought that the new Web site might have potential, but that it would have to gear towards Notre Dame. "If it actually provides a service different from Facebook, more specific to Notre Dame, I'd definitely use it," he said. Junior Katie Weber also said that she was fed up with Facebook and that she believes that others are as well. "I think people will be really receptive to something differ­ ent," she said.

This is what is passing for democracy in our nation, and the people are dis­ tracted by the false feud that exists between the two parties. That is not to say that we do not need the voices of Democrats and Republicans, but we do not need them to be our only voices, especially when much of what they are saying is the same. Until we can break the stranglehold these two entities have on our politics, we'll never see true "change" in this country. It is an uphill battle, for sure, but one that is definitely worth fighting, for the sake of principle, and to "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity" as our Founding Fathers put it. And yet, we still find ourselves taking the opium every election cycle, hop­ ing that somehow this dose will do for us what the last dose didn't. Here's to hoping we'llleave the bottle on the shelf the next time around.
