Don’t tell me democracy can’t win. Don’t tell me it doesn’t work. And don’t say Iraq was a lost cause. Less than four years ago Iraq held its first real election in over 40 years, coming just two years after the U.S.-led invasion.
Dear Scribe, When I first read Mr. Green’s rant that ethnic and women’s based studies are obsolete, I had to giggle and was under the impression that it was a satirical piece. After reading the whole article, I realized Mr. Green was being serious.
There is an odd complex in our society that suggests when a member of the human race disagrees with something another believes, he therefore must hate the individual holding the beliefs. Like what I wrote just now for instance. You may not have noticed anything odd about that first sentence, but in case you were one of those who want to throw a rock threw the Scribe window because of Joshua Green’s column last week, you probably noticed that I exclusively used masculine pronouns.
On the night of Feb. 3, many adults were tucking their children into bed. Some college students may have inebriated themselves, a few executives were probably just leaving the office, and perhaps some high school students were staying up late at their friends’ houses working on “homework.” And in other news, a couple submarines armed with nuclear warheads collided. Seriously.
Anyone who has worked at The Scribe for any length of time has been privy to some sort of scandal, controversy or other general unpleasantness. Sometimes the latest Scribe scandal is something to be expected, other times it’s anything but. A few weeks ago, we ran a short story about what UCCS’ school colors are. Simple and uncontroversial, right? Surprisingly, we got several e-mails and comments correcting what was perceived to be a mistake.
