Gators hypocritical in Cameron Newton scandal
By Don Kershaw | Nov. 11, 2010I am neither an Auburn fan nor an Auburn enemy, but the hypocrisy of The Gator Nation regarding Cameron Newton is astounding. It takes The Gator Nation but a few days to try and crucify him before any facts come out.

Rights should be protected, not attacked
By Noah Beckman | Nov. 7, 2010I am disappointed The Editorial Board worried about a setback to the gay rights movement and gun control in the same sentence. On one hand, The Editorial Board wants to grant more rights, yet on the other it wants to take rights away. Did you know Florida is actually a state where concealed carry has been legal since 1988? In all that time, only 0.02 percent of carry permits have been revoked. That means 99.98 percent of permit holders have been perfectly good, law-abiding citizens.
