Opinion

Immigration enforcement law useless

By By Aaron Zundel April 13, 2009

If Noel and his constituents are really concerned about fighting illegal immigration, they should be focusing on legislation that either facilitates legal, well-regulated immigration. or addresses the underlying economic causes that spur illegal immigration in the first place, not passing ineffective laws and threatening the budgets of law enforcement.

U.S. needs tighter belt, not higher taxes

By By Liz Carlston April 13, 2009

There will be winners and losers, but for now, America needs to go through this belt-tightening to purge through bad credit and bad decisions. The outcome will be a stronger America, one that will produce long-lasting sustainable economic value.

A passage to sustainability

By By Edwin Firmage April 13, 2009

Sustainable living rejects in principle the instrumental view of nature and extends this golden rule to all living beings. Sustainable living is, therefore, living in community with all other people and all other beings, recognizing their equal and inalienable right to the earth's bounty.

Chronicle should mention smaller sports

April 13, 2009

While it is wonderful to have a student-produced paper, it would be greatly appreciated if they would show at least even a hint of interest in those smaller varsity sports teams we have on campus.

Reinstating automatic weapon ban would be ineffective

Save a life and make some cash with your plasma

By By Sabriel Harris April 10, 2009

With minimum effort, I continue to have a fair amount of spending money in my wallet every two days and potentially save lives at the same time. Plasma is a natural resource one hardly thinks about and rarely uses. It is only fair we give it to someone who can benefit from it.

Electric cars would stop inversion

By By Jonathon Deesing April 10, 2009

Electric cars aren't going to sweep the nation in the near future, and they're certainly not going to fix all of our problems. In fact, they could even further our dependence on coal-burning for energy, which is the obvious downside. However, they would help the air quality in Utah during January, February and throughout the year.

Endangered Species Act should be restored

April 10, 2009

These rules gut our nation's most important wildlife protection law, which has been safeguarding species for more than 35 years, and fail to use this successful law to fight the greatest future threat to endangered species8212;global warming.

Stem cell perks outweigh potential drawbacks

By By Liz Carlston April 9, 2009

New ideas can now be pursued and we no longer have to live in a climate of fear and distrust stemming from a broad stroke immobilization of stem cell research. The federal government's new policy on stem cell research is a good thing and will lead to more life-saving medical technologies in the future.

Campus shuttle system results in frustration

April 9, 2009

Perhaps I should have taken weeks to research the intricacies of the shuttle system, but even if I did that, I still doubt it would get any easier. When you see two red shuttles following each other, it's not a good sign.
