Last week we talked about a phenomenon called “turkey droppings”: the unfortunate Thanksgiving-season demise of many long-distance relationships (LDRs).
As steadfastly optimistic as I am that relationships can work, as a surveyor of relationships, one must remove the rose-colored glasses every so often.
In less than 3 weeks each of us will take our last final, sell our books back for a little cash, clean out the rotten unidentifiable foods in the back of our refrigerators, and prepare to say goodbye to SLO-town for the holiday season. San Luis Obispo hosts an airport, bus station and rail station providing many travel alternatives for students and citizens alike.
America’s national dialogue about homosexuality has always perplexed me. The current debate over sexual orientation centers considerably around science, as we try to answer whether being gay is a choice or not.
However, since science and religion are usually at odds, a definitive answer in the scientific realm wouldn’t change a thing for many religious Americans.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
