Being in FIRST should
not mean having blind faith in the organization. It should not mean that all FIRST is good FIRST, either.
FIRST can do plenty to shoot itself in the foot and sacrifice the gains its made in the name of "media exposure" and "growth."
I want
this organization to succeed. I really do. It's what the organization may become that I'm afraid of. Today's goals and tomorrow's goals won't necessarily be the same, and I don't know if I really agree with or support what seem to be tomorrow's goals.
I want to bring FIRST to as many people as we can, but I also want to make sure that they don't receive a watered down, illegitimate, ill-fitting facsimile of what FIRST really is. What are televisions and movie screens, really? They're really big, high-tech, colorful fax machines.
