Holiday cheerless

By Danielle Fleischman · Thursday, Dec. 3,2009 8:07 p.m.

It’s not that I don’t appreciate the nature of the season, but I’m Jewish and Chanukah is just not that important of a holiday. Still, it’s “that time of year” and I’m celebrating, too. So when someone is expressing his or her love for the season, it does feel a bit segregating when “Merry Christmas” is used as the generic season’s greeting.   And now Focus on the Family, a faith-based group dedicated to “sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible,” is trying to take away my right to join in the holiday cheer altogether.

INPIRG, the White House and IUSA

By Jordan Jacobs · Thursday, Dec. 3,2009 8:03 p.m.

Ultimately, and deep down, we care. We care about the state of the world and we sympathize with other human beings, both at home and abroad, who find themselves in less fortunate situations. However, as a collective whole we are still in the process of aligning our emotions with concrete action that manifests itself on an everyday basis. This is only a problem if we do nothing.
