Gay Studies Classes

Summary

The first homosexual studies class in a university opened in 1972. Since then, these classes are offered at over more than two dozen American universities. Same-sex marriage and homosexuals dealing with the military are two of the topics discussed in class. A few of the classes available in this field are Homophobia, Coming Out, Gay Love in Literature, and Queer Art History. So many students want into some of these classes that some professors have to turn away students.

Opinion

“Coming Out” ?!?!?!?! What?!?! This is about as legitimate as a class solely about excretion. No; the class on poop would be more legitimate. This is just more actions of gay people and the movement to bring the morality of this nation down. This is an affront to all that stands for right. A class on homosexuality is just a place where these people want to feel good about themselves and let their evil movement grow. Someone should start a class on excretion, maybe that would be flooded with students too.

Protest March in D.C.

Summary

Many people gathered near the white house with the plan to march on the Capitol building. The protestors were anti-war and said that the people of Iraq did not want American troops there. They marched with barricades on the sides of the streets, and on the other side of the barricades were counter protestors. Both sides had many loud things to say to the other. Arrests and other police action began when the protestors were climbing the barricades after lying on the Capitol steps. The crowd was not pleased with the police. About 190 protesors were arrested.

Opinion

These people are a bunch of hippies (they were trying to show that it’s not just hippies protesting the war) who do not have their facts straight. Many, in fact, most of the people of Iraq want American troops there. More and more Iraqi citizens are coming to American troops or Iraqi police and revealing locations of potential insurgents, which they used to be afraid to do. Many fell that if the troops left, their people would be abandoned to all of the fighting and bloodshed that would take place. These people simply do not have a firm grasp on reality and are blinded. They don’t understand that sometimes war is necessary. Essentially, and not all of them, most are just plain stupid.

Bus Crash in Mexico

Summary

Many families in the Phoenix Valley were on a flight to Guadalajara, but their flight was rerouted to Puerto Vallarta because of a fire at the airport in Guadalajara. The passengers were to take a bus to Guadalajara. On the way, the bus crashed and killed about 17 and injured about 13. The people were there celebrating their independence from Spain. Authorities are still waiting on a clearer picture of what happened.

Opinion

This is sad that these people died. I hope the families of those who passed away are doing fine. Hopefully this can be avoided in the future. Hopefully this does not create a big international incident. Authorities need to find out what happened so it can be prevented in the future.

Musharraf for Reelection

Summary

Pakistan’s leading political party is going to try to reelect Musharraf, the current president, begore the former Prime Minister, Bhutto, reenters the country from being exiled. Bhutto plans to return on October 18 after being eight years in exile. He wants the presidential election to wait until the parliamentary elections have taken place in January. Musharraf and his party still plan to get him elected before Bhutto returns.

Opinion

I do not know much about Musharraf or Bhutto, but from what I do know, I do believe that Musharraf is better than the alternative. Both are apparently allies with America and anti-terrorism, but one has to wonder. If they really are this, than why are not Pakistani officials doing more to find and eradicate the Taliban and other terrorist organizations in their country. However, “The Devil You Know“, right?
