Venezuela president Hugo Chavez, along with the country of Ecuador, have sent thousands of troops to the Colombian border. The reason? Columbia's military, on the pursuit of FARC rebels, crossed the Ecuador border to attack the FARC guerrillas. President Bush has voiced his support for Columbia and has encouraged Congress to pass a free trade agreement with Colombia. Is Bush right in backing Colombia? Is Hugo Chavez wrong for sending troops to the border of Colombia?

So who's gonna win?
Well, our primaries seem to be slowly but surely drawing to a close. Soon the Ohio and Texas primaries will come to pass, so as good budding politicians it's our job to guess as to who will come out on top.
Do you think it will be Clinton or Obama to pull through the finish? Who do you think has a better chance? Who do you WANT to win?
Best of luck to your respective candidates!

Mae's article posted 2/25/08
We have received enormous feedback (negative and positive) on Mae's article posted on the Entertainment page. Read the article and the letters to the editor for more info. Discuss here! Was Mae out of line? Or was it the GHHS administrators?
Alrighty
Well, it seems as though competition is coming closer and closer, so lets speed things up a tad bit, shall we?How about the new presidential candidate, eh? Mr. Greenparty Member Ralph Nader. Last time he ran it was against Al Gore. He ended up only taking away votes from the Democratic part, and possibly cost Gore the election. He took the election from what was to be the "greenest president" of all.So, my question to you is, how do you think it will end up effecting the election this time around?

To Start Things off...
Why don't we begin with the presidential candidates?
Who do you all feel would be good for a presidential candidate?
Who would you like to become president?
Who would you LEAST like to see become president?
All that jazz... It's all open for discussion, feel free to let loose your thoughts. As we've said before, whats the use in being human if we can't voice our opinion?
Cheers,

Opinion Blogs!
Opinion Blogs. What are they and why do they matter? First off, the new Opinion Blogs make up a forum, or a place online where you can post messages and talk with other people. Kind of like a chat room, but with conversations all on one website, and divided into topics. Anyone and everyone can ask any editorialist any question. The blog will be open all hours that school is not in session. Just be careful about your language—no cuss words, derogatory statements, personal attacks or libel—‘cuz we will boot you outta the blog. To be expected, right?
Why does it matter? Why did the Grizzly Gazette take time to make the Opinion Blogs? It's simple really. Forming an opinion at this age is not only necessary, but essential for a happy, successful future. You can’t expect to be pleased with the direction of the government if you don’t even learn about the issues its dealing with. And guess what? What happens today affects our future. So don’t wait till you’re an adult till you start to care about the world around you. You also need to learn how to work with people of opposing views, goals, and cultures. This is America people! Not exactly a comfort zone in which you will only encounter people similar to you. By talking with the editorialists of the Gazette you will learn a very important tool for your future: how to civilly disagree with someone. It’s not a very good representation of yourself, or your opinions, if you bite someone’s head off every time you don’t agree.
To comment on the blogs written by the editorialists, you must first become a member of the forum that houses the blogs. To do that you must click the Register link near the top of the page. Complete the form that appears. The administrator will validate your account as soon as possible. Be sure to read the rules before posting comments. The moderators approve all comments manually, ensuring that nothing inappropriate gets through. Be warned, a failure to follow the rules will result in the banning of your account. A last bit of advice: Please use proper grammar and spelling when commenting on the blogs. It is not the job of the moderators to correct your every mistake and misspelling. Show everyone that you are capable of communicating in a professional and comprehendible manner. Use good grammar.
What is the point of being a human being on this planet without an opinion? How will you define yourself? Those who speak out and let their voices be heard are the ones who get what they want. How will the problems that affect you ever be addressed if you never voice your concerns in the first place? So send the editorialists questions or comments whenever you want. Members of the Gazette Staff will make sure they’re appropriate and post them as soon as possible. The editorialist in particular will reply back to you as many times as necessary. So speak out on the Opinion Blogs and let your thoughts, your concerns, your queries, be heard. - Beverly Condgon.
