Student gov't drama is unacceptable
Our Viewpoint
In the past week alone, Palomar's student government has witnessed rumors of manipulation, a presidential resignation and an overwhelmingly long string of e-mails that cloud the drama even more. Annoying or not, students absolutely need to care about these issues.… Post the First Comment
 
Church ban goes a little too far
It's hard to pity sex offenders, but maybe we should. When North Carolina legislators implemented a policy barring convicted sex offenders from attending churches that have day care facilities, it seemed like a perfectly good thing to do.

Halloween: Devil's Holiday
Halloween used to be about the trick-or-treating, the costumes and the chance to indulge your creative side but now it is just another mock holiday that some people believe gives adults the chance to play dress up, even without kids, and allows for Satanists to celebrate and degrade many groups of people.… 1 Comment
 
Halloween: Innocent Fun
Halloween is one of the oldest holidays, and in many ways, it is just like any other holiday: stores have sales, there is food galore and friends get together. That doesn't sound very pagan to me, so when did this traditional holiday become associated with evil? Adults can let their alter egos out and dress up as super heroes; kids stuff their faces with candy.… Post the First Comment
