Ronald Reagan once said, "By emphasizing the importance of a common language, we safeguard a proud legacy and help to ensure that America's future will be as great as her past." To say that the language "legacy" in the United States is "proud" is a dangerously presumptuous statement. (6) comments
Reality TV shows truly are the bane of our modern society. Have we as modern, mostly boring, humans reached the dénouement of our glorious civilization where we are now voyeuristically watching other pathetic humans going on about their daily lives?

We are concluding the eighth week of classes for the Fall semester. Fall break blessed us with a short three-day week, the football team has yet to do anything less than impress and the first round of tests are only memories.

The executives at Sony Pictures have really outdone themselves this time with the upcoming release of the movie "Legion." Every premise in the movie is utterly blasphemous to Christians, and generally to anyone who has a moderate dose of ethics and morals. (51) comments
In the past few weeks, you might have been wondering what AFTERdark is. I attended AFTERdark my freshman year at the request of my Frog Camp facilitator who, when I asked exactly what AFTERdark was, said simply that it would be a good time. When Joe White took the stage, it was fairly obvious what was going on. (6) comments
It feels as if everywhere you turn, you hear about an animal shelter closing or see a new puppy in your friend's house. Nothing can melt a heart more than seeing a 4-month-old puppy trip awkwardly over its big feet. But nothing can break a heart faster than seeing a homeless or sick animal. (0) comments
