We know there are tons of people who still haven't come around the socially uptight corner to accept the idea that "South Park" is a well-written show that doesn't depend solely on fart jokes and filthy language. That's fine. You'll see the light soon enough.
"There is no context that makes murder acceptable," Bryan Griffin said in his Tuesday column.
In Ian Shtulman's Monday letter to the editor, most of Shtulman's "evidence" grows out of the mass anti-vaccine rage following an October 2006 article by Tom Jefferson that was full of speculation. The rest of the scientific community, in virtual unanimity, has agreed that the flu vaccine is both safe and effective.
I appreciate the Alligator sending a reporter to cover a local fundraising event. However, I am sorely disappointed with its lack of sensitivity and misinformation.
A northern California brewery has taken it upon itself to establish the most directly proportionate presidential election model so far this election year. Actually, the brewery has only succeeded in running the election hype into the ground.
Wes Hunt's Monday column is, perhaps, the worst opinion piece that I've seen in the Alligator in the last five years.
Boy, was I disappointed when I opened the Alligator on Monday morning.
I am taking the final economics course for my major. I learned curves, graphs, labor and capital, and I have come to a truth about economics. It is incapable of quantifying human factors, such as fear, trust, greed and hope.

These four members of UF faculty should be ashamed of themselves, as well as the rest of the people nationwide who signed this disgusting document.
In the past five years of the Internet's existence, has their been a more welcome addition than good ol' YouTube?
College students pride themselves on being the most optimistic, innovative and take-action demographic in this country. Our generation in particular is said to be more committed to solving social injustices than any generation before us, but it seems as if college students have lost their giddy enthusiasm and unrelenting optimism.
The Bowl Championship Series poll is as biased as the sky is blue.
There must be something in the water on the Atlantic side of the U.S. because people over here are making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
The college degree you're working so hard to get doesn't mean jack. Last week, I mentioned a professor at New Mexico University, Marcus Ross, a paleontologist who believes dinosaurs walked the earth more than 65 million years ago but is also a Young Earth creationist. Yeah, doctorates don't mean a damn thing anymore.
Presidential candidates should be very clear on every issue, especially national security. For example, President Ronald Reagan emphasized the role of a strong military in keeping the peace. His policy eventually resulted in our Cold War victory and helped cause the breakdown of the Soviet Union.
On Friday, Kevin Homrich-Micocci's column was largely dedicated to an informative summary of the poor decisions, mishaps, lies and conspiracies recently perpetrated by the UF administration and its lapdogs in the Gator Party. However, he also somehow found reason to praise the Gator Party's ability to "get something done" and criticize the Orange and Blue Party's "impotence."
I urge everyone to think twice before getting this year's flu vaccine. While getting a little jab in the arm and saving yourself from illness sounds like a great deal, it's really not.
