I found your recent article by Kelly Tsaltas about breast cancer awareness to be highly offensive.
Does anyone besides me feel that Elizabeth Bonner has it backwards in one way, and wrong in two others, in viewing the Occupy movement as echoing the "louder voice" of President Obama, who she characterizes as "going against" "the rich" and "capitalism", which she, at one point, seems to equate to "social and economic inequality"?
Plainsman staff, I usually greatly enjoy the humorous and informative articles in Auburn's esteemed newspaper, but a recent cover story has both disappointed and embarrassed me.
I sincerely respect the thought of informing the people about today's issues and events; however, the article you published titled "'Occupy' demands echo Obama Politics" was misleading, and the "facts" you obtained about Occupy Wall street were not facts at all, but merely assumption.
I am beyond offended by this article.
In the last week, an item of note was brought to my attention: Climategate has been debunked.
The organic food trend has been going strong since it began nine years ago.
I meant to write earlier to The Plainsman, after my experiences crossing campus on Hey Day.

I have an Alabama driver's license, but originally I'm from Wisconsin. To drive back to my parents' house, I have to pass through Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois. I'm licensed to drive in each of those states because I'm licensed to drive in Alabama. And while the driver's test in Alabama may be markedly different than the one in Wisconsin, my license in Alabama works in Wisconsin. This is because of Article IV of the United States Constitution, which states that "Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State."
To understand the goals of Occupy Auburn, you must understand the origin of the movement.
Alabama's new bill, HB 56, went into effect recently, and it's already having a negative impact on our communities. Let's ignore, for a moment, the philosophical and ideological underpinnings of immigration--whether it's right or wrong, good or bad--and look solely at the bill itself. Alabama introduced the bill because legislators did not believe the federal government was enforcing immigration law well enough, so we took it into our own hands.
There has been some confusion recently about whether Young Americans for Liberty is nonpartisan or not, and I hope I can clear things up for everyone. I refer here to an article published about us in USA TODAY and to Matt Greenemeier's letters to the editor.
Many myths abound about what organic actually is, and the "Get Clean with Organic" article was full of some of the most common.
To be a Christian is to be a disciple of Jesus. I think that Braxton Tanner's and Samuel Maddox's view that homosexual practice and Christian practice are not opposed to each other is a serious misinterpretation of what the Bible teaches. Professing Christians, myself included, need to ask ourselves if we are letting the Bible speak for itself, or if we are reading our own views into the Bible.
Tuesday night, the Auburn University College Democrats held a non-partisan forum addressing Alabama's new immigration law which went into effect the day before.
Breast cancer is way, way over-advertised.
To those who march, let me first state that I am all for freedom of speech and expression. However, I do not have to support the viewpoint.
Last Friday the Obama administration announced that it had killed one of the most dangerous terrorists in the world: Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical American-born cleric living in Yemen.
