No time for remembrance on Veterans Day

Spinnaker | Nov 11, 2008
This week's edition of the Spinnaker featured an editorial on the importance of Veterans Day and how it is not, unfortunately, remembered as it should be by the masses. I fully agree with this statement, as veterans risked their lives fighting the wars America has waged over the centuries.

Developing town in our backyard

Spinnaker | Nov 5, 2008
Many of you are familiar with the fairly new town of Celebration, Fl right outside of Orlando. And sure, it's a suburban utopia in a bubble, with a mixture of education, work, health, and housing all combined by modern architecture to form what many urban sociologists would call the perfect town. Well did you know a town exactly akin to this is in the works right in our backyard? The town of Nocatee is being developed in Northern St. Johns County and Southeast Duval County. It will allow its residents to live, work, and play in one location. I first became aware of this last semester in my Intro to the Metropolis course and it fascinated me.

But that didn’t stop two unidentified men from threatening them and forcefully stealing their purses, according to the police report.

Auto bailout comical

Spinnaker | Nov 5, 2008

However, in the government’s latest bailout efforts, such a greatly exaggerated case for bailing out the automotive and insurance sectors cannot even be made with a straight face.
