• Support the Staff

  When most people think about concerts and playing out live, the things that lead to mind are the musicians – the singer, the drummer, the guitarist. This is not a bad thing; the band is the primary reason why the concert is happening in the first place. But, it's not only the band that puts a show together.

• Does the government have to regulate everything?

  According to Rep. W. Ken Martinez, about 214 died in alchohol related deaths. While that is bad, is that number high enough to infringe on the liberties of every single driver in the state? They already have laws to put interlocks on previously convited drunk drivers, but to require all drivers to have on is assuming guilt. In America it is innocent until proven guilty. In the American legal system it is the legal system which has the burden of proof.
