Later, they called to ask about the nails in the wall where pictures once hung. They made it sound so sinister. I told them Monica was packing to move to New York for that new job with Revlon, remember? And I asked them if they had seen the boxes on the floor. They had, but never opened them. That's where Monica's pictures and mementos were! The next day, they examined Monica's computer hard drive and found that her brother and mother had used it, so they made it all sound sinister, like we gave them the wrong...
...realize a true social justice agenda. Admittedly, this form of living loudly is much more difficult than the first: it's a lot easier to band together against an ostensibly white oppressor than acknowledging the inequities within your minority group itself, but we can't ask for anything less.

Kudos to three council members for proposing that we ask the students that question in a campus-wide poll. Shame on the council for rejecting that proposal. ANDREW F. RUGGIERO...
...even more important question to ask is why issue such as these usually end up devolving into gender debates. While I identify myself as a feminist (in that I support the equal treatment of men and women), I can do without the constant debate on whether or not Ally represents the product of recent successes in the struggle for gender equality. Sure, I may laugh at her silly ways, but I don't respect her silly ways, but I don't respect her character any less for it. If I did, I would also have to denounce other TV shows...
