Iraq and IU

By Jordan Jacobs · Wednesday, Dec. 9,2009 7:13 p.m.

This Tuesday I read a disconcerting article in The New York Times. A shocking 121 people were killed in a string of car bombings in Iraq. On a more sinister note, the attack occurred just as Iraqi policy makers decided on a future date to hold elections. The same article recalled other discomforting facts: On Oct. 25, suicide bombings in Baghdad took the lives of 155 people. And in August, the Foreign and Finance ministries were hit by car bombings, resulting in over 120 deaths. Like many citizens in the United States, I feel awful, my stomach turning and heart aching, as news comes in about the latest suicide attack.

Republicans & slavery

Wednesday, Dec. 9,2009 7:03 p.m.

On Monday, after making some not-so-smart comments that have the GOP outraged, Senate majority leader Harry Reid, longtime Democratic Senator from Nevada, might not be a shoe-in come next re-election. This is a good thing. Regardless of one’s political persuasion, no person who can make such ridiculous statements as Reid deserves to represent any United States citizen. Reid compared “Republicans who oppose health care reform to lawmakers who clung to the institution of slavery more than a century ago.”

Fairness, part 4

By Jarrod Lowery · Wednesday, Dec. 9,2009 6:59 p.m.

The primary problem, as I see it, is the fact that almost every form of government financing is currently mandatory. Also unfair is the fact that, as a result of almost every tax in effect, certain citizens are punished disproportionately for their productivity, i.e. the value they contribute to society. These problems should be reason enough to advocate change even before it is observed that taxation creates disincentive effects that discourage the creation of wealth at almost every turn.

Law school safety net

By Jacob Levin · Wednesday, Dec. 9,2009 6:57 p.m.

It used to be a lighthouse for academic careers that strayed off course, but it’s quickly becoming the case that even the law can’t save you. Not even when you’re the one who’s practicing it. This year, roughly 20 percent more people took the LSAT during the September/October test than a year previously. It’s not hard to imagine why – getting a job with a sociology major is hard enough during boom times, but during a recession, it’s practically impossible.
