Supreme Court should leave video games alone
Nov. 8, 2010The Supreme Court has agreed to hear several cases that will further define the freedoms of speech that are protected by the First Amendment, but only one case prominently involves Arnold Schwarzenegger and the tenuous link between Mortal Kombat and parenting skills.

Earth Day official endorses UF’s Meatless Monday
By Sean S. Miller | Nov. 8, 2010Our generation is one of change and progress. We revolutionized the Internet. We elected a black president. And we are legalizing same-sex marriage. Now, we are beginning to reshape another age-old custom of our society: the American diet. Our generation deserves more than just Happy Meals. We deserve healthy meals.

Team America
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Nov. 8, 2010In a move that can only be labeled as an attempt to become the super-exclusive “Mean Girls” of Capitol Hill, GOP-elected officials rallied behind an agenda Sunday based largely on bullying their boss: Mr. President.

Rights should be protected, not attacked
By Noah Beckman | Nov. 7, 2010I am disappointed The Editorial Board worried about a setback to the gay rights movement and gun control in the same sentence. On one hand, The Editorial Board wants to grant more rights, yet on the other it wants to take rights away. Did you know Florida is actually a state where concealed carry has been legal since 1988? In all that time, only 0.02 percent of carry permits have been revoked. That means 99.98 percent of permit holders have been perfectly good, law-abiding citizens.

Entertainers just aren’t entertaining
By Nate Rushing | Nov. 3, 2010A friend of mine was required to watch “Singing in the Rain” for a class last week. She, like all blue-blooded Americans who have anything remotely close to a heart, loved the movie that tells the whimsical, fictitious story of the first talking movies. This prompted me to look up some of the singing and dancing numbers from the film. As I browsed through “Make ‘em Laugh,” “Singing in the Rain,” etc., I realized something: We settle for some sorry excuses for pop stars these days.

Block the block: Proposed tuition change is unfair for students
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Nov. 3, 2010Imagine going to a coffee shop, ordering your typical 12-ounce latte and being charged for a 20-ounce drink. The shop doesn’t have room to hold any more wasteful small cups, and the large, which costs a good deal more, will lead to higher profits for the premier coffee institution.
