In response to "UW should sign climate deal" by Devin Trezise:

I think yer sposed to drink the rainwater. Use yer dirty wash water to flush. And corn cobs to wipe!

In response to "Imus' fate should depend on market, not critics" by Will Smith:

Sharpton also claims that this is only about what he said and that his past acts, or whether he is a good person, is not at question. What is not being considered is that Imus had a large audience that he has lost now. He will no longer be able to generate the money and attention that he used to be able to. Sharpton calling for Imus to be fired is short-sighted and will hurt the black community overall because Imus did work on issues of minorities (such as sickle cell or the ranch he had that is 50% minority children). He cannot do that with no show.

There is no doubt that this will increase segregated fees. In fact, it is not even debatable. ASM made recommendations to the Chancellor that included the increased cost of the higher wage. I find it troubling that we are going to increase the costs to all students on campus in order to pay low skilled student workers a wage that is far above what the market would pay them.

In response to "A day of mourning" by the Badger Herald Editorial Board:

I hate to say this, but to what has all the money for "homeland security" gone? Couldn't a terrorist, in the traditional sense, have bought a gun and done a similar massacre any where at any time? The "War on Terror" is a farce, because we've changed very little since 9/11. Secure airplanes, but not weapons…

In response to "Politics paralyze justice" by Bassey Etim:

As unjust as the treatment Barrows received was, I think that it is ludicrous for him to play the race card. A white man targeted by Hong would have been immediately, totally destroyed and probably never been given any opportunity for vindication.

In response to "UW focus on new buildings way off" by Jason Smathers:

If you can't afford a reasonable tuition that falls at the low end of the Big Ten schools, maybe you need to examine your priorities and consider a cheaper school. The answer is NOT to bring down the quality of the UW. Then you end up with a degree that is worthless in the national market. The new buildings for the School of Business have greatly improved the quality of the school and the overall experience. The students love the building compared to the old Commerce. Building quality reflects the overall commitment of the school to that area of study.

In response to "Tragedy provides opportunity to re-evaluate nation's violent culture" by Emily Friedman:

Does individual responsibility still even exist? Blame society, blame guns, blame violent video games, blame profane music, etc. …but, no, never blame the murderer. -David Lapidus

In response to "An unholy Union" by the Badger Herald Editorial Board:

Just because all of us can not afford to pay another $200 does not mean that we should be forced to leave the university. Our ability to complete our education here should be based upon our academic performance, not our pocketbook (or our parent's pocketbook). How do we justifiably complain to the legislature and regents about tuition costs when we are unwilling to hold the line on segregated fees?
