Feed me, Seymour
Every once in while, a horror movie comes along that looks like it might actually be a good one. Often times, this hope is false.
The Starting Line starts new pursuits

Deport everyone, including me
Racist minutemen and KKK members were nowhere to be seen when Dr. Juan Hernandez visited UVU recently. He is the kind of American I wish we could all aspire to be like — a new and improved American, if you will. He not only defends immigrants but also speaks freely of amnesty for illegal immigrants.
Reward-seeking behavior
If you’ve ever envied the wealthy or worried about the “plight of the poor,” chances are you understand on some level a concept most people refuse to believe: Money buys happiness.
