    Humanity naturally destructive

    An attribute of man that is and always has plagued society is the tendency to cut down other’s work. People have the tendency to cast aside a multitude of demonstrations or products as tumultuous and trivial. The downfall is that those people fail to realize or even understand the countless time and tribulations the producers [...]

    Mini Editorials: A short opinion about everything happening now

    Originality + school spirit First it was decided that homecoming should be longer than a week and then there were even more random spirit days for little apparent reason. Frankly, five homecoming days and some assembly days of dressing up to show some sort of contrived school spirit is enough for us. And now Spring Fling [...]

  • Sports and music are equal

    Sports and music are equal

    I’ll just come out and say it. Music is not harder than sports, and sports are not harder than music. Most musicians in this school would agree with me in saying that, a band for example, is comprised of one team trying to achieve one goal: a flawless performance. No other opponents. No fields to run. [...]

  • Abortion is a necessary human right

    Abortion is a necessary human right

    How can a society reconcile charging someone who kills a pregnant woman with double homicide, and yet permit a woman to have an abortion? The answer is very simple, and also a key to understanding why abortion opponents are incorrect. Women have a choice as to what happens to parts of their own body. A [...]

  • Don’t Talk to Police

    Don’t Talk to Police

    Compliance with our judicial system is important. If you are subpoenaed, it is important to report to the court and answer questions with honesty to preserve a fair and effective legal process. Up until this point, however, no one should ever talk to police or comply in any way as far as their rights extend. [...]

  • Religion is Institutionalized Rape

    Religion is Institutionalized Rape

    A common thread among the Abrahamic religions are backwards and laughable treatments of human sexuality. On the surface, it would seem this presents no harm to the public at large if members of the religious community wish to have clumsy and awkward virgin sex on their wedding night, but there is a very real danger [...]

  • Healthcare is a Moral Imperative

    Healthcare is a Moral Imperative

    Some days ago, I overheard a student voice the opinion that Americans should not have to use their hard-earned money to pay for the healthcare of others. While this seems a reasonable sentiment on the surface, it is akin to complaining about having to pay for the fire department services of lazy poor people when [...]

  • Grinding to a halt

    Grinding to a halt

    The grinding that students partake in at our high school dances is much too sexual and should not be so openly accepted. Take a step back and observe the dancing for what it is. Even Wikipedia points out the inherently sexual nature of grinding saying: “grinding is a type of close partner dance where two [...]

  • How about a cup of self-respect with a side of decency?

    How about a cup of self-respect with a side of decency?

    As some of you may have noticed there are a few coffee stands down the street from our school. One such coffee stand is the Blendz bakini barista stand. This bikini barista stand is an absolute disgrace. Not only is it degrading to women, but right down the road from an educational building full of [...]

    New district bus policy may save money, but is unfair

    Approximately 3,000 students in the Edmonds School District were left searching for other means of transportation to school this year as the news of the loss of state funding for bus services was spread. Families living within a one-mile radius of their child’s school received a letter in June, stating that “you live within a [...]
