Alfredo Kiernan’s cycling accident with a pedestrian on Stadium Road should remind us that we all share our spaces.
I couldn’t agree more with Sean Quinn’s Wednesday column. Alcohol is a far worse drug than marijuana, and the fact that marijuana is still illegal in most states and federally is absolutely insane. I would love to see the Alligator do an in-depth article on recent studies that have been done to support the idea of marijuana being legal. I’m 30, and our generation, which is soon to be in power, largely thinks marijuana is no big deal. And it isn’t.
Recently, Florida’s child-welfare system was given a 10-month extension to its Title IV-E waiver allowing organizations the flexibility to use federal funds to serve children in their own homes and reducing the number of children in foster care.
Sean Quinn’s Wednesday column was right on the money, and for those readers who got that knee-jerk “Keep dreaming, stoner!” reaction,try to think rationally about the issue.
Idan Solon’s Tuesday letter to the editor in which he attempts to chastise a capitalist system through actions by the U.S. government misses the mark.
I am writing in response to Chris Dodson’s Monday column, which condemned President Obama’s negative view of Fox News.
Mr. Solon is right to condemn our government’s clandestine escapades. They are inexcusable stains on this country, but they are not products of capitalism.
William Tew’s Monday letter to the editor and his suggestion that socialist governments have more frequently brain-washed their citizens than capitalist governments should be called into question.
Chris Dodson’s criticism of President Barack Obama’s campaign against Fox misses the point.
I want to echo Kyle Robisch’s Friday comments regarding Bryan Griffin’s columns. Despite being a right-leaning moderate myself, Griffin’s writing is bland and banal, which wouldn’t be so bad if it also didn’t exude a smug, “look-how-clever-I-am” tone.
While I’ve never taken much of what is written in the Alligator to be worthy of print, the ignorance of Wednesday’s editorial left me slack-jawed. I can’t say for sure which parts most showed the complete disregard for history and, more disgustingly, the implied lack of intelligence of the Alligator’s average reader.
I was very disappointed to read Kyle Robisch’s letter to the editor in Friday’s Alligator. As a former columnist himself, I know Robisch is capable of expressing a meaningful and constructive opinion. Unfortunately, his letter falls much more soundly in the category of “Playa hatin’.”
As the prominent newspaper at UF, I was wondering if some members of your sports staff could do the university a huge favor by informing John Brantley that he needs to step up and become the quarterback all UF faithful expect and deserve.
Do you know why I hate reading the Alligator on Thursday?
Though the recent tragedies involving gay youth across the nation have made particularly notable headlines, it’s imperative to note these incidents happen more frequently than we’d like to admit.
I have to say I was truly disgusted by Kevin Kleponis' letter in Monday's Alligator. I have always been taught leaders should hold themselves to a higher standard of excellence. Kleponis demonstrated how not to be a leader.
Where are all the caring Independent candidates? During the past few days I have seen a lot of blue and nothing else. I ask myself, why would candidates for the Student Senate not be campaigning to win their seats?
I can’t believe Bryan Griffin actually compared Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell to Elizabeth I.
As a student senator, I feel an obligation to set the record straight.
Matt Michel and Dana Summerstein both wrote letters trashing the Independent Coalition.
