Even using a friend's ID to buy alcohol at a liquor store or a bar is defined as a misrepresentation of identity. Today, with increased arrests, there is an even higher probability of arrest with the misuse of an ID.
Guest columnist Michael Lewis believes that corruption in the United States can be seen everywhere. From illegal accounting practices to people finding loopholes to avoid paying taxes, we as a society always try to get around doing the right thing and avoiding the consequences of our bad decisions. Some politicians have made a career out of lying to their constituents to please the needs of their friends or for personal gain.
Regular opinion columnist Josh Kraushaar says that social justice is gradually being achieved in Iraq.

On my wall in the Student Confederation office hangs a pin stating the word "civitas." It is a token of the Office of Campus Life's new campaign to encourage civility on campus, but to also define civility.

Located only one hundred miles south of Washington, D.C., Richmond, the state capital of Virginia and former capital of the Confederate States of America, is rich in history and institutions of cultural enlightenment, such as the exceptionally beautiful campus of the University of Richmond, the stately Valentine Museum, The Jefferson Hotel (one of only 25 five-star hotels in the country), St.
