Hmm…this seems like the sort of thing that should be discussed more, the sort of thing that shouldn’t be fast-tracked so easily, the sort of thing that shouldn’t by-pass the student vote. The sort of thing that a maybe a few people should try to do something about. Wednesday. Senate Chambers in the JCSU, 8:30 [...]

A[g]UN – Updated
By: John Russell
I thought I would add my two cents into Barry’s recent rages… err posts of the ASUN by simply demonstrating the type of demographic our STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES (directly elected from the student body, not appointed) hold within A[g]UN.

The Placation of Taxation
By: Barry Belmont
On the Fourth of July, the UNR Students for Liberty were invited to the Reno Tea Party to participate, mingle, and even give a speech. It was a fun time had with a bunch of interesting people (around 2000!) and we were thankful to be a part of it. As there has been a few [...]

Oh, Nevada.
By: Mary Hunton
Of all the states I’ve been to, I’ve got to say that I am completely and utterly in love with my own. Nevada is simply the single coolest state in the country, hands down.

Periodically I check out what the VisLupiEstGrex kids are up to and periodically I am disappointed. Recently they blogged about some rule being violated (sound familiar?) and how this is…important? or meaningful? or…something.

Justifiable Homicide in Nevada
By: Barry Belmont
For all the locals: Assemblyman Harry Mortenson (D-42) has introduced the long anticipated “Castle Doctrine” self-defense measure in Nevada. Assembly Bill 288 would allow a person to use deadly force against an aggressor so long as the person using deadly force “(a) is not the aggressor; (b) has a right to be present at the [...]
