Opinions from around the country
This editorial comes from The Lantern
at Ohio State University.
In
yet another move to appease the far right members of his party,
President Bush last week made a vocal plea to senators to
ban any further funding for cloning research.
The president’s comments put him at odds with, among
others, 40 Nobel Prize winners whose letter in support of
the research was released yesterday by the American Society
for Cell Biology.

Opposition
to same-sex
marriage restricts freedom
By Tim Dragga
Skiff Staff
It
may come as a bit of a surprise to know that actually no rights
are guaranteed all of the time.
The government’s “police power” allows it to invariably
limit some rights in favor of things like societal order, government
interests or in order to protect rights placed in higher value.
But the government always has to show significant justification
for the use of police power.

Loving
one’s self not a bad thing; Being in love with one’s self
causes problems
By Samuel Rose
Skiff Staff
Do
you love yourself?
Yes dear readers, it is a trick question. It is one that I myself
am often incapable of answering.
However, recent observations of the world around me made me conjure
up a picture of what the world would be like if people truly loved
themselves.
The stone that most people trip on after they embark upon this journey
of life is often the very first stone on the pathway: loving oneself.
It is often confused for being in love with oneself. But, in fact,
upon closer examination they look nothing alike except for a resemblance
in syntax.

Corporate
radio forces bands to conform sound
By Jeff Dennis
Skiff Staff
I quit.
Listening to corporate radio, that is.
Bands such as Default and Puddle of Mudd, who essentially aren’t
doing anything out of the ordinary, are currently in heavy rotation
on radio stations across the country. Though undeniably talented
musicians, these bands have reached stardom not because of innovation,
but because of their ability to produce a product which record companies
foresee as profitable. The end result then, is that radio listeners
get to hear a big pile of homogenized garbage.
