Kurtis Watch: Some rants to remember

This is the last article I can write while on staff for The Breeze. I would like to say this has been a great experience, and I would like to thank everyone who has supported and opposed me over the past two years; you have all made it a lot of fun. But since this is my  last article, I thought I would give you enough random opinions to last through next semester.

1. All politics suck. Let's just be fair.  Every side has its dirty sides, so that means you shouldn't stay to one side regardless. Always pick the lesser of four or more evils.

2. Too much pot makes you boring. Pot makes everything seem good, even when things are not good. Stop smoking pot and start complaining.

3. Listen to local music. Some of the great music can be found locally in the dive bars, the run down clubs and crap traps. Remember, you aren't an independent music fan if you spend $50 to see Arcade Fire.

4. Vote for Colbert/J.Biafra in 2012. I know it will never happen, but if you hate everyone running for president, you might as well vote for the dream team. Steven Colbert with Jello Biafra. Let's change the country (maybe for good, maybe for bad).

5. Glenn Beck is insane. I know there are a lot of crazy people, but I see no one more dangerous to the world than Glenn Beck. (Why oh why can't that chalkboard fall over on his crazy ass.)

6. Gay rights is an issue of civil rights.  As a country, we should not discriminate based on race, gender, religion, age or sexual goddamn preference. So shut the hell up and let the land of the free be the land of the free for everyone.

7. Keep working towards your educational (and other) dreams. I know school can be tough. When your classes get cut or you do not get into the school of your choice, do not give up. This journey is not meant to be an easy one, but nothing worth having comes easy. 

If you have any complaints about my last random opinions, please send complaints to The Breeze office located on campus, because I won't be there anymore. (Seriously, the last two years writing for The Breeze have been a blast.)
