Wonderful article, Matt. Thank you.
While you (mostly) refrain from politicizing in this article--to your credit--such is necessary.
It's disturbing that large factions of Americans can continue to evangelize their "American Dream!" rhetoric when such pervasive inequality exists.
Likewise, it's unacceptable that politicians can simultaneously acknowledge this inequality while defending classist social systems (like American health-care, for instance).

omgosh. This sucks big time.
Furthermore, to answer Jon's question regarding the difference between infanticide and abortion (which he posed as a rhetorical question, of course, but which is hardly that): an infant is a living, independent organism while a fetus can only grow by use of its mother's body.

Oh, c'mon dodgerman. The dude shot an unconscious and unarmed child five times!
I applaud David Prater for doing what's right and charging Ersland as well as the two adult men who coerced the children into robbing the store.

lol @ Charles Collins. What a silly-billy!
That being said, I really liked the post from Miguel. Well said, man.

Mark Potts rules.
Remember when he, Leo Rockbrick, and Max Powers went to the Medieval Fair? That shi% was gold!

These last two guys suck, and their opinions should be immediately disregarded since they disagree with my own.
Top Daug was the best. Bring him back, please.

Killer!
Now if we can only keep the donor seats filled.
At least towards the end of last season all fans were invited to fill vacant seats on the lower level after tip-off. This really improved the atmosphere during low-attendance games.
I'm looking forward to the season however. And will definitely purchase season tickets. And you should too!

Can the athletic department do nothing about the cheap shots on Granger? The film evidence is absolutely conclusive--three Washington lineman intentionally hurt one of our players.
Can't the NCAA review such misconduct?

"We need to see artists’ unique perspectives on the world and on life."
You realize that this sentence actually undermines your entire argument, don't you? It's an absolute contradiction.

I think you're missing something, Lauren: the "and Youth Culture" part of the course title.
Granted, I'm not enrolled in the course, and I really do not know very much about it. But I really doubt the objective of the course is offer much praise to Meyers's texts. You state that trends need to be "substantial" in order to "support intellectual conversation." I'm not really sure what this means, but I do think that almost anything in pop-culture can support culturally-relevant discourse. Twilight is wildly popular, and thus using the books as the centerpiece of a cultural-studies course is really not that much of a stretch. In fact, it's a really good idea (if the course's instructor approaches everything correctly).
And I like what eightbitgirl said: any discussion about Twilight should consider the books' patriarchal orderings and their implications.
