It is about time someone accurately depicts the end of the world. Today, the long anticipated movie "2012" hits theaters and will tell the story of how the world will come to an end in a little more than two years. But how could that be fair at all? Society won't get to witness the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics. (0) comments
The Bible has been under scrutiny for centuries. Many of those who claim to follow the Bible's guidelines are considered oppressive, ignorant and closed-minded. Now, at least two of those adjectives can be removed from the Mormon Church's description. Mormonism has long been known for its inconsistency and its vehement lack of acceptance. (17) comments
Sometimes it's good to be a journalism major. Seeing stories like Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward's, which exposed the Watergate scandal, make me proud to one day be able to call myself a journalist. However, journalism frequently disappoints me, especially when it tries to talk economics. (1) comment
With the recent shooting at Fort Hood outside of Killeen, one has to wonder what the exact causes of the horrific shooting were and ways to alleviate them to prevent similar problems in the future. Is our support system for soldiers outdated, or in this case, is this one instance that "just got away"? With the immense levels of emotional and physical stress that our armed forces go through home and abroad, maybe we need to question the support system we have for them. (0) comments
Most of the time when a husband cheats on his wife, he might get kicked to the curb and served divorce papers. That would have been a fortunate outcome for Abas Hussein Abdirahman, a 33-year-old Somali man who was publicly stoned to death this week for adultery. (0) comments
The debate over health care reform in the U.S. has been healthy, deserved and prolonged, if not overly discussed. The issue has essentially become partisan, divided along the Republican and Democratic lines with a few crossovers here and there. Proponents of each side have been vehement about making their points, garnering support and using all types of arguments to accuse the other side of being "uncaring" for a variety of reasons.

Hopefully, around this time next year, most of us will be going to the polls to vote in the 2010 midterm elections. One of the most important elections on that ballot will be the Texas governor's race. After nine years of the Rick Perry administration, the governor is running for an unprecedented third consecutive term. (1) comment
I hear them silver bells ringing, and the bright snow's glistening shroud can be seen on the distant horizon. That's right, the Christmas holiday nexus has arrived. This, of course, includes all wintry festivities from tacky sweater parties to all additional excuses to drink eggnog, and believe me, they are plenty. (0) comments
"Look on the bright side" and "every cloud has a silver lining" are common expressions that aren't used frequently enough. Let's face it - we are usually prone to negativity more often than positivity. If it was raining, you couldn't get a parking spot and were 10 minutes late to class, you'll be most likely to remember that rather than the fact that you made an A on a quiz or that someone complimented your new top.
