Point: We Ask You Stay for Dinner, not 400 Year! By Indian Chief Massasoit Spirits very angry at Pilgrims! Indians very angry at Pilgrims! I have should listen to Squanto when he say “White people move in? There go neighborhood!” Indians save starving Pilgrims, teach plant corn, shoot turkey, harvest crops and what get in return? Blankets full sick, and lousy reservations, so small, worth horse turds, even in bloated California market.
Long-distance relationships result in turkey droppings
As it is seasonally appropriate, I shall take this time to impart to you a jewel of knowledge I acquired as a freshman here at Cal Poly, when I was still young and the current phase of my romantic-relationship education commenced.
As I recall, it was a fellow freshman who took it upon himself to inform my roommate and me of what apparently was dormitory-common sense.
Minutemen infringe on human rights
The throng of those who call themselves “minutemen” expressed this and various other anti-immigration statements on shirts, signs, and through verbal statements last weekend in Los Angeles when I arrived to work at Ruby’s Diner.
Two hundred years ago, the term “minutemen” referred to citizens who would be ready to fight for our nation’s integrity in a moment’s notice.
EPA sidesteps global warming responsibilities
On Sept. 27, 2006 California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law bill AB 32. The legislation, known as the Global Warming Solutions Act, is an ambitious step toward statewide reduction of carbon emissions. Ratification of the bill marks the first time in United States history that policymakers will have the authority to limit carbon emissions specifically for the purpose of controlling global warming.
MLK's dream is still far from reality
In Washington last week, work began on a memorial to honour the murdered Civil Rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Thousands attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the monument, which will be fittingly situated near the Lincoln Memorial where King gave his legendary “I have a dream” speech.
Bible-bashing book review lacked credibility
Maybe “bashing” is too strong of a word, but the review of the book “Sex, Lies, and the Bible” printed in the Mustang Daily on Wednesday was much like the book itself – way off the mark.
Such lines as, “the Bible is no better than a good set of Shakespeare,” and “how can a person who believes in the Bible find truth?” are inflammatory at the very least.
Let my pronouns go
I must say, I find a certain delicious irony in the fact that the commentary on correcting people’s grammar contains a sentence that ends in a preposition. This could just be a typo, but it brings up an important question: Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
For those of us who never took Latin, the approximate translation is “Who will watch the watchers?” Who will police the grammar police? Along that same line of thinking, who will police the grammar police police? Or the grammar police police police?
And at what point does this whole exercise become so ridiculous we should just never do it? I say it starts at the grammar police.
How does porn affect you?
Thank you to ASI for putting on the debate between Ron Jeremy and Craig Gross on Thursday night. It’s important that provocative perspectives are shared, and for those of you who weren’t able to go, I hope I can accurately summarize the encounter.
The debate was over the merits or dangers of porn.
WTF R U AIMing w/a severe acronym prob?
If you’re anything like me, you spend countless hours on AOL Instant Messenger. I mean really, why would anybody want to have any kind of face to face interaction with anybody anymore when you can just type to people online instead1? Again, the problem is that with so many other things going on, you might be doing all of your instant messaging wrong.
How to Survive: Getting a Date
So there’s this person you like. You really, really like them. You want to go out with them. But you can’t just go up and ask them out. Or can you?
The answer is yes, yes you can.
You can’t just ask someone to a dance like you did in high school, which can make it a little bit more nerve-racking for some.
The simple life: till USA do us part
“By the time you go home at the end of your program, you will have learned to live a much simpler life.” These were the first words our program director said to us, shortly after arriving in Torino, Italy.
Like many other American students, I mentally argued with her statement, feeling as if I already lived a pretty simple life.
