For the fourth time in my life I am packing up everything I own and moving on to something completely new and different.
I am moving away from a handful of invaluable friendships and a world where opportunities fall from the sky if you can just take the time to look up for one second.
With four years of Boone at my back I hardly know where to begin.
I have debated my approach to this commentary for quite some time now –do I take the senior yearbook approach and just fill it with thank you’s and inside jokes? Something most of the 4,000 The Appalachian readers will never understand?
Probably not the best approach.
One of my initial thoughts for this final commentary included breaking down the insanely crazy year we just had.

Our Perspective
The Appalachian has experienced some of the most intense news content in it’s recent history.
With that being said, the newly appointed 2008-09 editorial board would like to send thanks and appreciation for all of the hard work and dedication that the 2007-08 editorial board and staff has offered this student publication.
Next year, The Appalachian will continue to cover and provide the community with news happenings in the High Country in an accurate, timely and thorough manner.

GAP supporter speaks out
There are two basic objections to comparing abortion with genocide. The first is the claim that abortion does not kill a person. People hold differing philosophical beliefs on personhood, but the scientific fact is that an individual human life begins at fertilization. Simply, a human being is a person. (Isn’t dehumanization a stage of genocide?)
The second objection is the claim that even if the abortion destroys a human person, the killing is not genocide. But there are many definitions of genocide which include various groups of people who may be victims, and different actions that qualify as genocidal.
