Violence Against Women
March 08, 2004
| March is National Women's History Month--the month of girl power and body parts. Many people use this month to campaign against violence aimed at women and girls. Nevertheless, these well meaning women forget that their own behavior has helped perpetuate violence against women. Ignoring half of the perpetrators of violence gets no one anywhere and can only harm women even more. Their actions truly constitute violence against women, by women.

Marriage, the social contract
February 17, 2004
| Valentine's Day has come and gone for the year 2004. And, in what some might call a fitting circumstance, San Francisco's officials opened up the registers for homosexual marriage licenses. Marriage is a social institute designed to protect the children that result from the sexual union between a couple and, ultimately, to prevent the burdens imposed upon the community by a neglected child. The moral decay of society, in the form of increased divorces and abortion rates, has lead the way for acceptance of homosexual marriage, because it has destroyed the foundation of the social contract between a man and his wife and society as a whole.

Avoid the appearance of evil
Decemeber 12, 2003
| It appears the Supreme Court thinks American politicians should avoid the appearance of evil, but with a little help from a law called the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2003. Perhaps the Courts ought to leave mandating the avoidance of evil to God, instead of their own flawed decisions based on imperfect reasoning and faulty evidence.

But He Tried
October 4, 2003
| "But he tried," whined a voice in the back of the classroom. I had just stated in my poli sci class that Jimmy Carter was one of the worse American presidents ever, and here was a young woman defending him, saying he was a good president simply because "he tried."

Truth about campus diversity
September 2, 2003
| A week at the University of Arizona has already gone by; and yet, you might be like me who, after a year, still does not know that that big red brick building to the right is supposed to look like a cat or that there is even a police station somewhere on campus. Like me, you could still be struggling with how to pronounce Harshbarger or Kuiper; and it definitely does not help that the people at the Mexican American Studies and Research Center think it is time to change the Econ building's name to the Cesar E. Chavez building.
