OMGzors!

Suprisingly straightforward. Yay for telling Berkeley residents to go shove it.

Incorrect designation. twLF is not a diety.

The new Daily Cal editorial policy is somewhat more "Hey, here's an opinion," which is good. (The new opinion editor is a Khan, so that must help) Unfortunately, this happens to be a really stupid opinion.

This time it's the "multicultural center," where the DC is all pissed that it's having trouble, because some folks just don't want to hand over a bit of campus to a coercive group.

What seems to have been lost in translation is that people risked a lot to start this project.

This is the "E for Effort" school of thought. Since they put a lot of effort into it, they should get what they want. Let's apply this policy to other concepts!

Sorry, Iraqis, we put a lot of effort into conquering you, so you should just roll over and give us everything we want, because we tried so hard.

What's that? You want to murder me with a candlestick? Hey, that takes effort. And risk. By all means, go ahead. I'll help!

Better yet, instead of turning decorations and programs into an ASUC-clique political issue, why not open it up to campus groups? This would involve students in the center, a goal that student activists like TWLF would surely support.

Not according to Chris. Besides, ASUC is students, too. It seems that "involving students" isn't much of a goal to strive for, after all.

In light of the fact that the original participants in the hunger-strike were protesting loss of funds to ethnic education, the Multicultural Center should serve to educate in more ways than one.

Uh, what? How are those related? In light of this editorial's poor organization, candles should be available at half price this Monday.

If there is one thing the Multicultural Center should strive to be, it is controversial. It should foster different ideas, raise questions that no one else will ask, and ultimately increase dialogue and cultural awareness on campus. Only then can this project be deemed worthy of its creators.

Wow. Deification of twLF. It's not just for... uh... actually, this is the first time I've seen twLF deified. Is the editorial staff really that whipped?
