    • The College Student Mantra: If It Isn't Fun, It Isn't Worth It

      As this year's gubernatorial elections near, I find myself doubting that many of my peers will bother to use their vote. College students may be happy to participate in political activities in a group setting, but when it comes to taking the individual initiative to excursive their civic duty, many bow out. Scores of college students jump at the chance to travel hours to Washington, D.C., to protest Roe v. Wade, petition for gay rights, etc., but few are willing to even travel to their mailboxes request an absentee ballot... continue reading »

The agreementfrom the G20 Summit was that the countries agreed to put more money in trade finance over the next few years and todiscourage protectionism. However, theU.N. General Assembly President Miguel D'Escoto Brockman has made his opinion loud and clear. In recent remarks, he has called the "G20pretty much a failure any way you slice it"because it did not allocate 2 or 3 TRILLION dollars to developing countries. He further goes on to blame the global economic crisis solely on the war in Iraq, apparently ignoring the credit default swapproblems, housing market fluctuations and other economic and market factors that have ZERO to do with the Iraq War... continue reading »
