Today in PDF
Unfortunately there isn't really much today and I am not going to go back to cover previous days.

More research
I wrote about Obama and DOMA in response to a letter that I felt I just couldn't leave. I feel it says enough.

The quest continues
Concerning the "Quest for Perfection" that is BYU football's motto this year. I agree with the author of "The quest continues." We aren't done just because we have played poorly the last three games and actually lost the last one against TCU. We can still go 11-1 instead of 10-2 this year. WE have to hope Utah beats TCU, then take it all the way with Utah. I personally root for Utah until they play BYU, because I want our games to be the best. 99% of the time I will root for BYU over Utah. There have been times when rooting for Utah to just barely beat BYU has been necessary, like a few years ago when they went BCS Busting. I am all for playoffs, BCS is garbage (and I would have said so when we were ranked 8th).

Long boarding, the sequel
Today's writer as well as Monday's concerning long boarding are inconsiderate and self serving. Monday's said he would rather ride on campus because he doesn't have to worry about cars hitting him, saying it would be better to run into a student walking across campus than a car in the road. Way to be responsible and use the golden rule. Today's said that long boards cause as much damage as any given bicycle. What a crock! Long boards generally have hard wheels instead of rubber wheels as do bikes. I have seen avoidance maneuvers from cyclists and boarders. They are vastly different. Usually, boarders bail to not hit something, letting their boards go, while cyclists have brakes and can maneuver much better. Calling boarding a pasttime is fiction. It is rather new. "Simply stated: I want to enjoy my long board without worrying that my mission fund will be spent paying pointless fines." Oh, I see, you are barely 18. That explains a lot. It seems that you have some lessons to learn in life. Hopefully, you will learn them before your Mission, so that you can be a more effective Missionary. Do you think you can stand being restricted in something you find fun for a few short years? If not, you will have a hard time on your Mission.

What Obama said
I am sure that getting paid $8000 for serving a Mission is not something that Obama is going to support. I know you were being cynical. It is a valid point. I like it.

Perhaps I will be choosy as to which letter I spend my time on. Some are rather boring.

Until next time.

In the beginning...

I decided to create this because I finally broke my rule about writing to Brigham Young University's Daily Universe Reader's Forum. Politics get me going. I have spent many hours talking with people about this election, but I have spent more time talking and laughing with people about comments submitted to the Reader's Forum. I always have something to say.

Today, I was published when I replied to someone's response to another's article having to do with Obama and DOMA. I could not let it be because I felt he was completely wrong and needed correction as well as defending someone who was standing up for correct principles. They are published Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I hope to respond accordingly to most letters, at least those that are funny or need correction. I am busy with school, so I don't know how well I will keep up. My other blogs feel left out as it is, but this is something "close to my funny bone" and right thinking in politics is important ESPECIALLY NOW.

Enjoy
