Globalists trying to save the world, not take it over

Colin McKim, are you really that dense? Do you honestly believe there is a secret organization of so-called “globalists” that are attempting to infiltrate all major governments with a secret agenda to unify the world under one oppressive and freedom-quashing rule? Man, I thought Nero was paranoid.

To be blunt, I was shocked and ashamed to see that you’re an environmental management and protection major, for I am also one. You, better than anyone, should know that the Kyoto Protocol was established for a pretty damn good reason — to work as a whole (yes, believe it or not, there are other countries out there) as inhabitants of the Earth to procure, nourish, manage and protect (cough cough) all that important stuff (like air) so that we won’t run ourselves into extinction within 50 years. I’m not sure how you twisted a global effort to save the environment (again, cough cough) into a backdoor attempt of government officials to take over the world.

Maybe you’re right, though. I mean, we can’t hear what government officials say behind closed doors. I’ll utilize some early 1990’s pop-culture dialect to demonstrate this possibility:

“Gee Obama, what do you want to do tonight?”

“The same thing we do every night, Biden…try to take over the world!!!”

Sex column doesn’t cater to majority of students

Editor, I’m not sure why we need this “LBTG-friendly” sex column in our paper. For one, there seems like there is barely any demand for it. I bet not even a fraction of a percent of Cal Poly students identify themselves like that (gay), so where’s the market for this column? Secondly, the whole thing reeks of affirmative action, like maybe Sean Penn or Perez Hilton threatened to sue the college if we didn’t meet a “Gay Quota” for voice in our paper. Fourthly, along the same lines, this is what I think is known as “reverse discrimination;” this whole column she is complaining about the preconceived notions that “we” have against her, but that whole idea is based on the ones she has about us! Talk about “progressive.” What if someone (especially a man) asked to write a “straight” sex column? Liberals would throw a fit.
