Making an informed decision can often spell the difference between strutting your stuff to class in a pair of oh-so-tight Sevens or having to hide your face as you duck into the nearest Lane Bryant.
In response to Yoav Mor's Monday letter to the editor titled "Gainesville lacks informed intellectuals," I was one of those ill-informed "hippies" he was referring to â€" though human rights activist is a far more accurate term. As a matter of fact, those ill-informed hippies he was referring to are graduating this semester with their bachelor's degrees in Middle Eastern Studies.
So begins another chapter of the Middle East conflict.
I still giggle at the thought of Steve Spurrier throwing down his visor inside The Swamp. That's part of his legacy. And the really funny part is that he would only throw it down once, maybe twice a game. Gators fans were happy he got that upset only a few times per game.
As the dawn of the Age of Obama approaches, the president-elect is moving to distance himself from the former president as quickly and easily as possible.

The Editorial Board knows we aren't perfect - look around hard enough and you're bound to come across some minute error somewhere within our pages. But, unlike the outgoing president, when we admit our faults we would like to think we own up to them. Eight long years and you're halfway there, George.
After reading a recent editorial on how Gainesville residents are ignorant about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I noticed that the the ignorance was directed toward those that support Palestinians.
LuckyD0g21: So what are your plans for this weekend?
It has recently come to my attention that there are some in the media who do not believe Florida should be crowned the BCS National Champion.
What do you call 2,000 Americans at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean? A good start.
The Gators took home the championship, Superman will return to Gainesville and the Alligator Editorial Board rocked "I heart Bernie" T-shirts at work Sunday night.
As a University of Georgia graduate and devoted Bulldog fan, you may find it hard to believe that I was actually rooting for Florida to win the BCS football national championship.
Driving down University Avenue about a week ago, I saw three typical Gainesville hippies waving a banner comparing Gaza to the Warsaw ghetto of Nazi-occupied Poland.
