Stay sassy, Utah

November 19, 2008

With the Utah vs. Brigham Young University game coming to a head, there is only one question left: Whose side is U President Michael Young on, anyway?

Oil leases threaten national parks

By By Brian Trick November 18, 2008

If it takes three Utah national parks being strip mined and polluted beyond recognition for the United States to realize it has a problem, then so be it, but I'm selling my house now, before the whole neighborhood goes.

Facebook stalking isn’t funny

By By Anne Roper November 18, 2008

Being "Facebook stalked" is very real. It's taken a while, but I've finally realized how exposed my Facebook profile left me, and how much I would rather not know about other people, too

Potential humans don’t have rights

November 18, 2008

The idea of extending rights to "potential" human beings would mean that using contraceptives or even waiting until marriage would be equally unethical propositions. Potentially, Alison could be pregnant right now with a child that might develop a cure to cancer. That doesn't mean I think she should be forced to keep it.

Don’t forget that you too were once a collection of cells

November 17, 2008

How would you like it if your mother had decided to terminate your development on the basis that you were "just a collection of cells" without meaning or importance?

Campbell not qualified to comment on dino study

November 17, 2008
