Like most Americans, I have grown up under a deluge of TV advertisements. I have been bombarded by all sorts of product pitches, ranging from financial services that no one really understands to pharmaceutical companies that end up listing side effects such as \may paralyze you from the waist down.""
Compared to the Middle East conflict and the war in Afghanistan, the World Trade Organization dispute over U.S. steel tariffs seems fairly trite'because it is trite. Unfortunately, some of the more petty arguments between nations can become matters of worldwide importance when international trade is involved.
Alcohol abuse is one of the most commonly used phrases to describe when an individual who decides to drink a lot of alcohol in a short period of time. It used to be called getting drunk, and getting drunk used to be considered an embarrassment. However, getting drunk has now become a badge of honor among much of the younger population of this campus. So, adults must now resort to the word alcohol abuse to emphasize the damage that drinking too much alcohol can cause to the drinker and the rest of the world.
An indignant President Bush declared to the rest of the world this week that he is doing all he can to bring peace to the Middle East. He is right. All Bush can do is helplessly flail his arms in a desperate attempt to distract the two combatants long enough for calm heads to prevail'assuming that calm heads will prevail.
Attending UW-Madison is not cheap. In fact, at $4,060 per year for in-state residents, it is relatively expensive compared to other public universities. The College Board's annual survey of tuition and financial aid estimates that the average cost of a year for an in-state resident at a four-year public institution is $3,754.
Like the emergence of flowers in May, the issue of binge drinking emerges sometime around March. Last year, it was the fight over the University Square Theatre's liquor license. This year, it is Chancellor John Wiley's favorite'the elimination of drink specials.
At the height of British imperial dominance throughout much of the world, the British adventurer and writer Rudyard Kipling wrote one of his more controversial poems, \The White Man's Burden."" His philosophy of noblesse obligation toward other races had a profound impact on colonial thought and still influences most of the discourse concerning developing nations to this day.
I read George Orwell's \1984"" for the first time my sophomore year of high school. I listened intently as my teacher expounded on Orwell's hatred for communism and totalitarianism. I think I even wrote a fairly good essay on how Orwell's dark vision was what the world would look like if communism ever overcame the bastions of liberal democracy.
Apparently the newest fad is to criticize the Olympics. I guess the Olympics are a perfect target, considering the imbroglio over the pairs figure skating competition and NBC's inane and gut-wrenching coverage. Yet, I can't help but disagree with the Olympics' growing number of critics.
Imagine a rich land of luxurious homes and natural areas, protected by 20 mph speed limits and bike cops. A place where you can live without high property taxes or a tyrannical city hall, but still enjoy all the benefits of a large city. Stop dreaming'move to Monona or the village of Shorewood Hills.
President George W. Bush has an active imagination. How do I know? I think anyone who watched his State of the Union address could detect it. Bush was obviously imagining himself to be President Reagan.
Gov. Scott McCallum's proposed state budget has been called many things in the past few weeks, most of which are unflattering. What it has not been called is an investment in Wisconsin's future. McCallum's budget may be unfair to cities and counties throughout the state, but it does protect the future of Wisconsin's students.
Last Sunday, my church had its annual service honoring the memory and the dream of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. These services have always been an important part of my experience with the church, especially since the arrival of a new pastor who, as a young man, walked with King in Tennessee. His stories of his father's struggles as a white pastor of a predominantly black congregation have moved my church's usually stoic congregation to tears for the past two years.
Late in the evening Dec. 27 I was pulled over by the police. I reacted the same way most Americans would'with fear and resentment. As I pulled over to the side and turned off my car radio, I kept thinking to myself, \I wasn't speeding. There is no way I could have been speeding.""
According to the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America, a Washington, D.C.-based lobbying group, the cost of slavery would be around $8 trillion.
Madison School District Board member Bill Keys has inadvertently become the symbol of a growing trend throughout the United States'political intolerance. Though the ally around the flag"" mentality has always been present in America during times of crisis, rarely does it manifest itself as so politically opportunistic. Conservative groups throughout the country are targeting individuals like Keys for dissenting'and in so doing are attempting to stymie political debate.
During the 1970s, what was once a rather obscure school of economics in Chicago changed the course of American history. Milton Friedman, George Stigler and a host of other economists from the University of Chicago set out to prove that state intervention in the United States economy was only leading to high inflation and a blooming national debt. What was needed, according to these economists, was a tight fiscal policy that de-emphasized state control.
Three Americans have died from what has been diagnosed as inhalation anthrax. As a side note, 7 million people will die by 2010 unless drastic steps are taken to prevent and treat the spread of AIDS in South Africa, according to a recent report released by South Africa's Medical Research Council.
I never recited the Pledge of Allegiance in school. In fact, I never got the chance to recite the pledge. I never had a teacher who felt it necessary to start each day with a reaffirmation of American values. I don't think this represents a deficiency in patriotism but rather an emphasis on other ways of learning patriotism.
