How quickly a fanbase gets spoiled.
I was watching the Auburn-Utah State game on TV and saw something I just couldn't believe.
Chick-fil-A has recently been outed as a supporter for known anti-gay groups.
In last week's issue, Jonathan Newman wrote that I "never said how YAL was being dishonest" in my original dispute of the group's recruitment claims, and I can gladly specify.
I recently read, with great interest, Raye May's opinion piece on NATO's intervention with Libya, and I have to disagree with her assessment.
Last week's criticism of Young Americans for Liberty accused the freshman organization of lying to recruit the interests of the Libertarian Party.
Matt Greenemeier wrote a piece last week attacking a student organization, the Young Americans for Liberty, for "blatantly lying," "using dishonesty" and "tricking people" while recruiting potential members on the concourse.
Recently, the University of Alabama started selling buttons saying "Never All In."
Recently on campus, I stumbled across a large display of the U.S. national debt, an advertisement for Young Americans for Liberty. Although I had previously heard of the group in passing, I was uncertain about what they actually represented, so I chose to ask them. This proved an alarmingly poor method to learn about the organization. I was blatantly lied to about the ideology and purpose of the club. In fact, despite a recruiter vouching for the club as a "nonpartisan" group that was "separate from political parties," less than five minutes on Google demonstrated those quotes are anything but genuine. YAL was formed as a Libertarian advocacy group, and some of the Auburn chapter's free literature--namely, The Economics of Freedom: What Your Professors Won't Tell You--attests to that. I read the book's introduction, and I knew that I had been misled about the nature of the club. What's particularly infuriating about this is I felt insulted that a group demanding greater political culpability would use dishonesty as a recruitment tool. If you trick people into supporting your cause, how are you acting any differently from the "typical" politicians belittled by your recruiters? Effective politics demand honesty, and the first step toward honesty is admitting to your own biases. I merely ask that in the future, the YAL stands by what it actually represents.

I read your article regarding the idea of some people, including Eric Smith, to make Auburn a smoke-free campus.
I believe I'm a little late on reading about the rhetoric concerning a possible smoking ban on campus, and I usually hoot-and-holler and wouldn't write in, but I have an issue with how things seem to be viewed nowadays.
They're ba-a-ack! I'm referring to the Total Quality Management folks, a hardy management sect last detected at Auburn in the administration of TQMer William Muse.
