I’m sorry, Tennessee. I spoke in haste. You are NOT the most ridiculous state in the union, nor the one with the most INSANE laws. Where Tennessee pushed “Turn Away the Gays” back into committee, where it will hopefully die, Arizona has let it go before the governor. But more […]
Opinion
Christian Politicians?
I am starting to change the way I see things. I have truly begun to see politics and Christianity in a new light. Many of you know that I am against the government sticking their noses into the Church. I still am but I have a new view of how […]
“Turn Away the Gays” turns my stomach
Really, Tennessee state legislature? You were so close. You were almost reputable. People almost thought about our state fondly – we have the show Nashville, for goodness’ sake – and you had to just stomp on it like Caesar with your big feet. Last week, state Senator Brian Kelsey of […]
No more Mr. Ice Guy: Frese fights global warming
Global warming was first used by the very environmental scientists Ms. Brown claims adhere strictly to “climate change,” which the same scientists admit includes the greenhouse effect “global warming” along with the other effects like sea level and precipitation changes. (www.nasa.gov) As for calling to question the moral fiber of […]
Valentine’s is more than chocolates and candy
Valentine’s Day is a day of love, chocolate, roses, rings, and basically everyone telling you how useless you are because you are single and don’t have someone in your life to “buy” you things. I have never had a Valentine or someone ask me to be his, but this has […]
I wear your grandad’s clothes, I look incredible: Going thrifty
The popular song “Thrift Shop” includes phrases such as “popping tags” and “wearing your grandpa’s velour suit.” Although students at Tech do not usually wear velour suits, they are shopping to get the most bang for their buck. It is a way of life for the typical Tech student to […]
Adjunctivitis Crisis: Higher Education’s Indentured Servitude
We’ve all been there – the 1000-level classes seating at least 30 people, if not closer to a hundred, studying the basic introduction to some subject we may not even need for our major. For some, it’s classes like Algebra, or Writing 1010. For me, it’s zoology. Two hundred underclassmen […]
Pray for the people
Prayer is an act of faith. If people stop praying for something, evil is bound to come and disrupt everything people believe to the very core. Sunday, Feb. 2 brought my church family to its knees when news came of a shooting and possible hostage situation at a church in […]
Altar of American Idols: Celebrity distractions from real issues
I’ve always been a huge Tolkien nerd. From 8 years old, when my mother handed me a copy of The Hobbit, I was lost in Middle Earth. I have all the books, I have all the movies (The Two Towers is the best, and I’ll fight you if you disagree!), […]
Building interest in loans
How many people actually know anything about banks and loans? We, students, deal with loans every year. Some of only take out what is necessary, while others may take out extra to cover certain expenses. Unfortunately, the undeniable truth is that we will have to pay back every penny…with interest.
