A serious need for America

It’s been a long and crazy road to these midterm elections with lots of rhetoric and lots of ridiculous commercials. However, now it’s time to have a moment of seriousness before we go to the polls in less than two weeks.

Life is hard for those with HIV/AIDS

“Life isn’t fair!” says the 15-year-old girl whose parents just told her she couldn’t go to a birthday party because of a bad grade. “Life isn’t fair!” says the college student who can’t go out with his friends because of a 10-page paper due the next day that he hasn’t started. “Life isn’t fair!” says the wife at home who has to take care of her two kids and work on a proposal for her job. Well I’ll tell you whose life isn’t fair: the life of an individual suffering from HIV/AIDS — especially one in a low-income state.

Bryan Griffin deserves forgiveness

Over the past couple of weeks I have gotten to know Bryan Griffin as a person and a friend. I know he would never intentionally plagiarize. He’s passionate person about his beliefs. I’m sure this was nothing more than him admiring an article and trying to get the message to others. All it would’ve taken was a citation I’m sure was subordinately overlooked due to the pressure of balancing activities and schoolwork with the column.

The Greasy Bird

In a marketing move some are calling greasy, unhealthy and hideous, not much unlike the criticisms of its artery-clogging sandwich laden with 32 grams of fat, KFC is paying (supposedly) good-looking girls at a handful of colleges across the nation to promote its death-defying sandwich with the words “Double Down” on the buns of specially-designed sweatpants.
