In re: Economist addresses the issue, even if we won’t

The Economist, a publication I strive to read religiously, often puts forth opinions I agree with (it is a British conservative publication, which puts it somewhere in our center, although they often have more liberal stances on the environment etc then we have) Either-way, if your looking to get a good opinion on the tragedy [...]

In re: Handgun ban? not likely…

Events like those at VA Tech usually get people talking about the laws concerning guns, although at this point its unclear what arguments will emerge (some have already blamed gun laws for not allowing students guns to defend themselves with), what is clear already is that the guns used in the shootings were legally purchased [...]

In re: Colleges come together to support VA Tech

Across the country colleges are coming together to support and pray for VA Tech, OSU yesterday had what I thought was a good way to honor the tragedy by having the chimes of “Orton Hall, on the Oval…play[ed] the Virginia Tech alma mater in memory of those individuals who lost their lives Monday on the [...]

In re: Tragedy

There isn’t much I can add to the massacre at Virginia Tech where at least 32 students were murdered by a classmate yesterday. I learned the news at work and was numbed by the numbers and the horror. I still remember 9/11 and my feelings on that frightful day and possibly because of that I [...]

The craze hadn’t seemed to have hit the states as hard when I went to study abroad [...]

In re: Crazy weekend of snow moves Indians to Milwaukee?

Baseball + Snow in Cleveland on Opening Day

This is what Ed was talking about.
