After screwing in my first obnoxiously corkscrew-shaped, eco-friendly, fluorescent light bulb, I can't help but feel a little wronged by the well-intentioned, if blindly idealistic, green movement. Let me clarify. I don't hate the planet, I don't drive a Hummer, and I love the whales.I am, however, a born skeptic and a wannabe history buff, so it's in my nature to approach saving the earth with caution as a watchword. It seems to me that the only constant that's ever existed in the scientific world is that every couple of years everything we thought we knew gets turned on its head.

The Senate, as specified by the UGBC constitution, is entitled to 4 percent of that budget. This money, lest we forget, does not grow on trees.

By Letter to the EditorWalking into a New Orleans classroom 30 months after Katrina with my Appalachia group, my eyes were glued to the date on the blackboard: "August 29, 2005." The teacher's notes from the day of Katrina are still piled on her desk with students' supplies scattered around the room.
