Dear Readers,

This is a pre-issue of Dogma, and as with any first issue there is
a need to set forth a certain set of objectives, the goals toward
which a magazine aspires. Well, surprise! We don't have any. no discernible
agenda whatsoever. In fact, I think the word ``agenda'' sucks, and
as I am editor, of sorts, I hearby ban the word from this magazine
altogether.

What we do have is an open forum for you folks who harbor a secret
desire to express unadulterated spite. Yes, that's what Dogma is all
about - but there's so much more!

For instance, how many magazines cover only one topic an issue and
fill every page with subversive information and editorials? Okay,
so there's a lot, but dammit, we're the best! And what makes us better
then the rest is the simple fact that, uh . . . we, uh . . . have
a cool name! Oh yeah, and also because you write in and tell us all
the dirty little secrets you know and then we tell everyone else.

However, you shouldn't think that this is just some collection of
hacks putting together another subversive, dime-a-dozen eletric rag
to satisfy their own ego's. No way buster! We're in it for the money
too. But until we think of a was to collect money without actually
paying you writers out there - it's free. What a deal! (Like you'd
pay for it anyways you stingy bastards.)
