Want to know how to make those preachers go away? Sure you do. Even our most devout Christian students must take exception to having some unemployed loudmouth condemn them to Hell on a daily basis. So, how do we get rid of them? Starve them. They feed off the same thing as unruly 5-year-olds and black Labrador puppies: Attention.

Last Thursday at noon, as a few friends and I tried to inaugurate Occupy FGCU for our first weekly General Assemblies, Brother Micah also made his way out onto the campus green. As an American, and a believer in real democracy, I believe Micah is free to spew whatever hate he wants. 1 comment

I was really looking forward to this year's Nest Fest because I had so much fun last year, and the performers were awesome; one of my favorite bands was included. This year I was not really happy with the choices and their decision to not to make it a rock concert anymore.

As an alternative rock and metal fan, I do not like the fact that I have to skip going to another concert because there will be so-called "musicians" performing that a lot of the teenage population likes. This happened in the fall semester and now it's going to happen this semester.

Thanks to Jeffrey Haut for his thoughtful reappraisal of the Ringling Bros. Circus. Please allow me to point out that there are volumes of documentation available about Ringling's sordid history, including a former Ringling staffer's eyewitness account of baby elephants being beaten until they give up all hope and circus owner Kenneth Feld's own sworn court testimony that elephants are hit with bullhooks—heavy batons with a sharp metal hook on the end.

Why it's wrong to blame Occupy protestors:

This is in regards to your Nov. 8 article titled "P2P sharing software keeps us honest." You said yourself that since I am a freshman, there should have been a flier in my room explaining the university's policies.

Tucked away in the comfort of our bedrock Guiding Principles are two behavioral expectations necessary for all human beings in relations with other human beings.
