Additionally, we here at the Alligator in no way condone flag burning.

However, that flag symbolizes more to us than a collection of our shortcomings, and we cannot condone such a behavior.

I washed most of the makeup off and put on my regular clothes before coming home from the party, but I left the nail polish on. I liked the way it looked.
