Break the control… step away from the screen

Posted November 16, 2008 at 11:06 pm
By Joshua W. Newman // Opinion Editor

The entertainment industry controls our lives. Our clothes, our speech, our actions, our interactions - all based on television and movie characters, scenarios, soundtracks. Our emulation of these idealistic morals and values has gone so far over the top that some people get trapped and simply don’t know where to go.

So far in the 2008-2009 academic school year, three have been sent out. One took two days, one took four and the most recent took almost a full week. That’s unacceptable.

By Austen Gregerson // Contributing Columnist

Alaska, once our quiet, second-cousin of a state, has now turned into the obnoxiously drunk uncle who likes to brag about how much better “his days” were.
