Super Tuesday's here!  My vote for the lesser evil
by Jacqui Streety, editor-in-chief
 

So, tomorrow is Election Day. I’m voting for the Democratic candidate, John Kerry. Now, allow me to explain why.

It isn’t because I want a more grammatically correct president (although it would be nice to listen to the State of the Union without thinking, “What did he just say?”). It isn’t because he’s smarter (and we all know that’s true), or because he has a better platform (because no one really knows what his platform is)—it’s because he’s the lesser of two evils.
 

You get home after a long grueling day at work and class, you log on to the Internet, check your e-mail and head over to a chat room like many Internet junkies around the world.

You check your buddy list and see that Mojodaddy123 is online, so you decide to say hello. You have a pleasant conversation with Mojo. You tell him about your day. You can’t help but brag about leading your baseball team to win the state championship during the weekend.

After the seemingly innocent conversation, Mojodaddy heads on over to your profile, where you have your name, birthday, age, hobbies and possibly even your location. Even if your location isn't listed, it's nothing a little search on Google couldn't fix. All Mojo would have to do is search for your championship-winning team that you mentioned while chatting, and he's got a general idea of where you live.
 

AIDs epidemic needs understanding
by Giovanni Rosendo

Ignorance and a lack of literacy are what cause the stereotypes of AIDS.

Africans, homosexuals, and drug addicts are usually the first to come to mind when someone mentions AIDS.

Obviously, there is an epidemic of AIDS in Africa. According to aidsandafrica.com, it is estimated that 29.4 million people are currently living with HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa. The main reason for the problem in Africa is that most men believe that the only way they can reach heaven is by sleeping with a virgin.

Being in love with my best friend is like buying a bra for the first time. Initially, it may feel awkward, but it only takes a little adjusting to become completely comfortable wearing it every day.

Our relationship is not going to fit perfectly all of the time, though. No matter how much I love my boyfriend, there are specific responsibilities that cannot be ignored. One of these involves being prepared for physical commitment.

There are just certain things I like a certain way. Why am I being labeled for that? I have to sleep with a regular pillow on the bottom and a down feather pillow on top. (I have four of these-it’s a must!) I sleep on a down feather mattress. I have a down comforter that I cover myself with, paired with a set of sheets (not sure of the thread count though) that feel absolutely divine. I am in a dream-worthy, bedroom paradise at night. Is there anything wrong with that?
