Universities once were the place to develop cadre - but as luis  
points out his enterprise and most others are voluntaristic and  
adventurist - they had no outside just dreams within - it replicates  
the myth of the hero - the individual who will lift the veil from our  
eyes - but "god for bid" lend oneself to a collective effort  or  
create an organization - Our attempts to reform- reformulate as  
pointed out does not arise from material conditions but good  
intentions - a list of should bes and wrongs but no plan as to how to  
get their from here.  This is what makes it easy to hide behind  
cynicism, to claim someone did my best and low and behold they prove  
to us all exactly what we expected to find -- What doe sit mean for  
one to do their best when one's best is without program nor method or  
communication to anyone other than our students -- when as Luis  
acknowledges they did not even feel the responsibility to others to  
leave behind a trace - a lesson - a lead -- that others might build on
