...Amendment gives me the right to drink when I want—it’s not like there’s any difference between me now and me in two years when I’m actually, technically, legally allowed to drink. Also, my right to demonstrate in public obviously means that I can burn a highly flammable and potentially hazardous boat in the river as a protest against the Quad! Even my grandfather participated in River Run, commissioning one of his servants to erect “an impressive pyre” for the gods. Cancelling River...
Alleging that there is something “unsafe” about burning a floating celebratory monument in a public water supply is bogus, and the administration knows it. Who is Dean Dingman to stop chemistry from happening by refusing to let water put out fire? Furthermore, it is a blatant violation of students’ rights to station police cordons around the river like we’re animals in a zoo, or convicts in a prison, or irresponsible teenagers who could potentially harm our fellow citizens by lighting things on fire in public spaces...

Such a ban would be discriminatory toward Muslim culture, and the implications of its reasoning would be far-reaching and undemocratic. Currently in drafting, the bill that would enact these changes should not be passed...
...corporate lawyer with a degree in financial markets, Navalny has spent the past three years snapping up small stakes in publicly traded state-owned companies, many of which have senior government officials on their boards. Public listings provide these firms with crucial capital and international legitimacy, but in exchange, they're forced to adhere to a modicum of transparency that is absent from Russian politics. This is where Navalny comes in. Exploiting his status as a part owner, he harasses senior management with questions about how their actions may be affecting the bottom line. "All you need is one share...
