PETA's support for the humane treatment of animals is admirable, but their methods are questionable when they show violent videos with scenes of graphic animal abuse.
Dear Gators football team,
We often talk about justice and doing the right thing. Well, supporting the Coalition of Immokalee Workers is one way we could actually practice what we preach. Several food service providers have agreed to pay the one cent more per pound, but I have yet to hear that Aramark has decided to do the same.
As if I am not already mentored enough in my life, the Department of Housing wants to coach me on my wasteful showering habits after a stressful day at meetings, school and work.
There is asbestos in nearly every dorm on this campus. I live in Tolbert Hall, and we had exposed asbestos in our trash room at one time.
I was severely disappointed in the representation of Louis Centanni concerning the front-page article. Certain inaccuracies were statedthat all together misrepresented not only Louis himself, but all thosesuffering with Tourette Syndrome.
When I saw on Monday that the third floor of Rinker hall would be required to pay $3,000 each for damages, I was flabbergasted.
Good for the anthropology department for defending diversity and minorities. What could be more diverse and be a smaller minority than a reckless-driving professor who attempts to exchange drugs for gay sex near a church? Shame on UF for reinstating such a creeper.
Mr. Wheeler makes an excellent point. If you can't afford health care, don't go running to the government to solve your problems. Just get on Medicaid!
As great as it is to read about our student senators feeling "uncomfortable" regarding the health of hotel guests, I would like to take this opportunity to remind our representatives that as residents of Rawlings Hall we live under these circumstances every day.
The Oct. 6 Gallup poll reports that only 21 percent of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing. Considering that so few people support the effort being made by congressmen, it seems obvious that Congress is failing to represent the will of the people.
When I was growing up, duct tape was the solution to all problems.
Government's raison d'être is to be of the people, by the people and for the people. This is a core tenet of our republic. When the people wanted safe food to eat, the government provided it through the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
I would like to respond to the opinions in the Alligator that show a bias against health reform. And ignoring the likely possibility that these gentlemen watch Fox News, I'm going to try to debate with them rationally. First of all, studies show that 45,000 people are dying otherwise avoidable deaths every month based on the simple fact that they don't have health insurance. If that isn't worth fixing, I don't know what is.
In response to the letters today regarding health care, I think it is unfortunate that some think this way. What about children - do they not have a "right" to health care? They can't go out and get a job, and often their parents won't spend money on something that is not mandatory. They would rather go to the emergency room uninsured, and guess who pays the bill for them? We do with our hard-earned taxpayer dollars.
Yesterday I got a text from my brother saying, "Stay away from the Reitz Union today. There's a bomb threat there, and the bomb squad was deployed."
I know Darts & Laurels doesn't come out until Friday, but I'd just like to give a spot-on-nail-on-the-head-explanation laurel to Delta Upsilon President Matthew Panzano.
Matthew Christ's Monday column is a shining beacon of willful ignorance and shallow thinking.
I understand the fact that many students did not get the inside jokes about certain Greek organizations spoken during the Weekend Update at Gator Growl, but from the editorial "Let the Greeks Growl," the Alligator seemed very upset by this. I actually thought that the members of the Alligator would love this part the most, seeing as they appreciate any jab taken at the Greek community.
