OPINION

World

Shutting out the lights in Australia  A revolutionary way of thinking about climate change started Saturday, March 31, 2007 when millions of people did something as simple as shut off their lights. - Rebecca Bayliss

Trying to prevent the next school shooting  It’s something most students wouldZune never think about. It’s what teachers hope will never happen. It’s a parent’s worst nightmare. - Katie Grosser

A victory to change the world

Never before have I watched an acceptance speech which has moved me to tears.  - Rebecca Baylis

Voting, for real

There is a gap, for many, in becoming politically aware and exercising your legal right to vote. - Louisa McIndoe

Anti-gay bigotry hurts everyone

Gay. Fag. Homo. The most common words said at my school are not kind and intelligent. - Kiernan Majerus-Collins

Spreading peace, one ink blot at a time There’s a word we’re hearing a lot in media coverage: peace. But what is it? - Madeline Slaughter

Rally for peace, not war  The “War on Terror” is a phrase that, unfortunately, is heard all too often. We are in the midst of a war – a war on terrorism. What can our respective governments do? How can anyone possibly put an end to millions of innocent people living in fear?  How long do we have to wait before yet another ‘terrorist threat’ is made?Whenever I hear about a new threat made on society, not only do I cringe but a cold shiver races down my spine.- Rebecca Baylis

Where is this 'free speech' you  promised us? Teenagers find it terribly frustrating to voice their opinions, only to have them put down, or even worse, suppressed, because they’re at odds with an older generation who were taught that homosexuality is an anomaly rather than a natural occurrence.- Louisa McIndoe

Protest peacefully against anti-Muslim cartoons  - Edrees Kakar

Ana Lara said recently she sees herself as “a single mother” to the 24 children from troubled backgrounds who lived with her in a shelter she started because she wanted to help them avoid the abuse she experienced growing up on the streets.

Some of the older children said this month they chose to live in Lara’s small, average-looking home to escape bad situations in their own families.

Now, though, Lara is sought by police after a 7-month-old baby died under mysterious circumstances in her shelter. Neighbors told police that Lara fled in a van with the other children.-- By Oscar Ramirez
