Well, it is that time of year again: The Patriots have found themselves embroiled in yet another scandal. Following their 45-7 victory over the Colts in the AFC Championship Game, concerns were raised that some of the Patriots’ footballs may have been under-inflated, a claim that was later confirmed when it was reported that 11 out of the 12 footballs used by the Patriots were indeed under-inflated during the first half of the game.

1. Sexism: Who has declared in the laws of the universe, that if the cashier does not have a Y chromosome then she cannot help someone bring a bag of feed to their car or be knowledgeable in lawn mower parts? Hearing, “Where is your manager? May I speak to him?” is a good way to earn a sarcastic comment such as “Yes, his name is Susan and she’ll be happy to help you.” It is unfair to assume she does not know something. Instead of asking if there is a guy around to help, it is possible to see if she can help first.

What political party do you consider yourself a member of, democrat or republican? It seems like those are the only two options.

“D’s get degrees,” is the mantra that so many college students are telling themselves today.
There is truth in it, after all. If a university gave out degrees for passing courses with the minimum required grades, then why would students strive for anything higher? This way of thinking is a problem, and it is the immediate byproduct of a single flaw in the higher education system — general education courses, or “gen-eds.”

With the semester coming to an end, the main things on most students’ minds are their final grades. Whether you need to finish, or start, that final paper for a major class, or begin making note cards for some last minute exam review, students are always stressing about how to get the highest Grade Point Average.

Can someone please tell me why society has grown to be so greedy? Why in the hell are we rushing Christmas earlier and earlier every year and so concerned with buying presents? Yes, it’s nice to give to others, but it is seriously just over a week after Halloween. I didn’t know the date of Christmas changed suddenly to Nov. 1.

On Friday, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down rulings that would have legalized same-sex marriage in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. This, especially given the fact that it is the first serious defeat the movement has seen in several years, understandably upsets proponents of same-sex marriage. The Supreme Court’s struck down DOMA, California’s ban on same-sex marriage in 2013 and a series of rulings from the 4th, 7th, 9th and 10th Circuit Courts that similarly legalized same-sex marriage in states under those circuits’ jurisdiction. However, the 6th Circuit’s striking down of same-sex marriage provisions may not, ultimately, be a bad thing. In fact, while it may feel like a major step back, it could very well be two or three steps forward.

There is an issue with religious culture that needs to be addressed. It is in your face and down your throat and, for lack of a better phrase, I am going to refer to it as “bible thumping.”

I appreciate it more than you think. “Thank you for your service.” Every time someone gives their appreciation, the memories come flooding back. The years of service went by so fast, it seems, and I miss it every day.
