Democracy
Project hosted first
Pizza and Politics event for the
Fall 2009 semester during University Hour. The small room
filled with approximately 60-70
students and CSUSM staff with
the focus of the 45-minute discussion on Obama and McCain's presidential campaigns and
debate further emphasized the
polarity between the Republican
and Democratic parties. While the
majority of dialogue focused on the
financial crisis of late, both candidates confidently supported their
running mates' policies.
Gwen Ifill, senior correspondent
for PBS's The NewsHour,; moderated Thursday's debate. Though her
prepared questions spanned every
aspect of the respective candidates'
campaigns, Palin and Biden focused
on addressing the economic crisis,
energy, and the war in Iraq.
The 90-minute broadcast pitted a seasoned
Sen. Biden against D.C.
freshman Gov. Palin, who
admittingly joked, "How
long have I been at this,
like,fiveweeks?"
Although Biden's years
of experience may contribute to his credibility, Palin's
persona garnered a few
laughs from the otherwise
silent audience.
A trend among both Palin
and Biden was their polite
refusal to respond to Ifill's
direct topic suggestions. Immediately following Palin'sfirstrebuttal,
Biden preferred to continue discussing McCain and his views on the
stability of the maiket.
Biden stated, "That doesn't make
John McCain a bad guy, but it does
point out he's out of touch."
Palin focused on her running

this

brought
about
more than entertainment,
This
40-minute online
musical confirmed the idea that
the entertainment industry could
use the Internet as a new form
of media.
This revolution gained motion
with the release of YouTube,
allowing anyone to post video
online. However, Dr. Horrible
was different, because it was the
first widely released professionally made production without
backing of a major studio.
Dr. Horrible is a comedy musical set around the world of super
villains. The story follows the
titular character, Dr. Horrible,
in his quest to defeat his nemesis
and get the girl of his dreams.
Behind this was director Joss
Whedon, the man responsible
for Buffy the Vampire Slayer
and Firefly/Serenity. The idea
came about during the Writers
Guild Strike, when Whedon and
a crew wished to make a production without a high budget or
backing of a major studio.
Though it did not take a great
deal of money to make, it had the
appearance of high production
value. The each segment of the
three part series reached the top
of the iTunes sales chart. Upon
release, the soundtrack, released
only on iTunes, made it in the
top 40 album sales.

Some battles have been raging
since the dawn of time. Coke and
Pepsi, the Yankees and the Sox,
and Cain and Able are all great
examples of these.
Great rivalries often become
staples in pop culture. One of the
most hyped and commercialized
rivalries in recent years have been
that ofApple and Microsoft. There
are millions of people who will
defend either company's products,
citing many reasons why one is
better than the other.
Both companies' products excel
in different areas, so this article

Dr. Horrible subtly raised

which should lead to more

Just Soy You Know
n
Superfood" might be villain
BY AMY SALISBURY
Opinion Editor
People all over the world
adopt a vegan lifestyle for several reasons. Vegetarianism
promotes health, is cruelty-free,
and is even required by some
religious schools. For those of
us who grew up eating meat,
the commitment for change
raises a crucial question: How
do I get enough protein?
In the Western world, the
answer to this d ifficulty comes
in the form of a happy little protein-packed bean. When I f irst
explored alternative proteins a
few years ago, I could hardly
tell the difference between
meat and meatless variants,
let alone other vegan products.
Companies like WholeSoy and

wondered what is so "super"
about soy? Companies promote
soy as a miracle food to cure
what ails, replace what needs
replacing, and even make less
of an impact on the environment. As convincing as the
advertising appears, it's time
to take a reproachful look at
the myths surrounding soy and
see what science has to say.
Soy partially gained a reputation as the perfect food from
the Asian community. Asians,
especially the Chinese, have

ers originally used soybeans
in crop rotation, not as a food
source.
In fact, they realized as early
as the 2nd century BC that raw
soy contained large amounts of
natural toxins, or "antinutrients." Further research shows
these toxins include enzyme
inhibitors that block the
absorption of proteins, phytic
acid that retards the uptake of
essential vitamins and minerals, and goitrogens that suppress thyroid function.
The Chinese discovered
that only fermented soy, like
tempeh, natto, miso and soy
sauce, was f it for consumption.
Average use of soy in Japan
and China is only about two
teaspoons per day, and most
of it is condiments. A more

frequent use of fish and low
intake of saturated fats.

Vice presidential

During the vice presidential
debates both Governor Sarah

had strong points and weak

out as absolute winner.
Palin without a doubt has

during the debate she came out
with another quirky phrase,
Joe Six-pack, that has already

However, being likeable and

woman for the job.

ernor as leverage. Palin supports
domestic drilling as a means toward
independence from foreign oil,
claiming she already "broke up a
monopoly" established by corporations including Exxon and ConocoPhiUips.
Biden opposes drilling in favor
of continued research in clean coal
technology. He also maintains the
position that global warming is
man-made, which is "the biggest
fundamental difference between
John McCain and Barack Obama
and Sarah Palin and Joe Biden,"
implying that the McCain-Palin
ticket feels global warming may be
attributed to natural cycles of the
planet. Palin feels it necessary to
take advantage of all of Alaska's oil
reserves.
Foreign policy discussions
adopted the classic viewpoints of
the GOP versus more left-winged
arguments, with Palin opposing a
timed withdrawal from Iraq and
Biden desiring to shift responsibility to Iraqis.
"We're spending $10 billion a
month while Iraqis have an $80
i
billion surplus," Biden continued, stating that Obama believes
it is time for Iraq to spend its own
money. Conversely, Palin believes
that the U.S. is notfinishedin Iraq
until "the Iraqi government can
govern its people and when the
Iraqi security forces can secure its
people."
Despite the expected disparity,
both Sen. Biden and Gov. Palin
agreed concerning gay marriage.
Neither candidate believes marriage should be redefined to apply
to same-sex couples, yet they do
not believe a civil rights distinction between homosexual and heterosexual couples is the way to go
either. Palin frankly wrapped up
the discussion, declaring, "[The]
question to [Biden] was whether
he supported gay marriage and
my answer is the same as his and
it is that I do not."

of CSUSM's College Democrats

a mock election debate co sponsored by the American d emocracy Project. Tonight, CSUSM
students will appear on television
at 6 p.m. in a debate held at the
Escondido City Council Chambers. On October 21, the College
Democrats will hold an Obama

University Hour.
"To my knowledge this is the

Climate Change
According to the current
US Environmental Protection
Agency website, "For over the
past 200 years, the burning of
fossil fuels, such as coal and oil,
and deforestation have caused the
concentrations of heat-trapping
"greenhouse gases" to increase
significantly in our atmosphere.
These gases prevent heat from
escaping to space, somewhat like
the glass panels of a greenhouse."

oil consumption. Oil production in the United States peaked
in the 1970s (both on and offshore). This year 80 percent of
our oil has been imported (from
Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia,
Venezuela, etc). How specifically will you reduce America's
dependence on foreign oil? What
forms of energy will you seek to
expand and why? What are the
benefits and drawbacks of these
alternative sources? (Sources-US
Energy Information Administration (US Govt)).
HealthCare
Expenditures in the United
, States on health care surpassed
$2 trillion in 2006, almost three
times the $714 billion spent in
1990, and over eight times the
amount spent in 1980 (and 77 times
since 1960). 47 million Americans
are uninsured and another 25 million are underinsured. How specifically will you make health care
more affordable and more accessible to students, families etc.? How
will you pay for the increased costs
of insuring more people? (Sources
- Kaiser Family Foundation on
Health Care, PBS NewsHour).
War in Iraq/Afghanistan
More than 4100 American men
and women have lost their lives
in Iraq. The war, so far, has cost
more than $600 billion dollars.

Palin also made a point to
accuse Obama of being "pals"

Ayers.
"This is not a man who sees
America as you and I see America. We see America as a force
for good in this world. We see
America as a force for excep-

is someone who sees America,
it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough that he
is paling around with terrorists who would target their own
country," Palin said.
Following applause from the
crowd, Palin shook hands and
greeted her supporters.

With the most controversial
presidential election less than a
month away, it is essential that
voters be educated on the issues
and the candidates. FactCheck.
org makes being informed a bit
easier.
Voters are constantly bombarded with a host of information and it is often difficult to
decipher what to believe as
every political commercial on
TV contradicts the one that aired
before it. So much is thrown at
the public and they are often left
to figure out whether or not the
information that is presented as
fact is in fact true.
However, unless voters are
driven enough to do lengthy,
time consuming research on
political topics, it is impossible
to really know what is factual
and that is where FactCheck.org
comes in.
The Web site takes a variety

How to throw a wicked
Halloween party
BY LANCE
ROSENBERGER
Pride Staff Writer
Throwing a good party is
hard enough and a Halloween
party can be even more challenging, and a lot of fun. But in
order to get the right mix
As it is Halloween costumes
should be mandatory. Challenge the guests to get creative
by hosting a costume contest
with prizes for the winners.
Judgment can be in various
categories such as most original, scariest and best overall
costume.
Having awesome snacks for
a Halloween party is essential. Candy is always a good
standby, but don't be afraid to
get creative with appetizers.
Use Halloween cookie cut-
ters not only to make cookies but to cut outfingersandwiches in the shapes ofmoons,
bats and pumpkins. Shape
cheese with a paring knife to
make it look like fingers and
wrap cocktail wieners in tortilla strips to look like mummy
toes. The Internet also has
a variety of recipe ideas for
creepy food.
A great sound track is essential to the perfect party, and
the monster mash is a must for
Halloween parties. Halloween
CDs make a great, and easy,
way tofillthe party with eerie
music.
Decorations are not
only important to set
the mood at a Halloween party but are a lot of
fun. Cover the area with
spider webs, tombstones,
bats, skeletons and other
Halloween decorations.
And to keep the guests
entertained while they
mingles have a few fun
activities planned, such as
bobbing for apples and a
pumpkin carving contest.
For more party activity
ideas visit partyamerica.
com or pumpkinnook.

The only thing left to do
is fill the party with great
company and enjoy.

For some college students, the 2008 General Election will be their first opportunity
to vote in a National Election. Choosing
the nation's next leader is more than just
name recognition and Saturday Night Live
skits. While its safe to say that most col-
lege students are aware of the stakes in
this upcoming election, not all may fully
understand the impact the youth vote has

Q
Sind
Presidential candidates'
stances on the important issues
Republican Issues McCain's take on the issues
BY CRYSTAL EVANS
Features Editor
Abortion and Birth Control:
McCain wants to overturn the Roe v.
Wade decision as he is pro-life and believes
that the power to either legalize or outlaw
abortion should be left up to individual
states.
Crime and Punishment:
McCain believes that crimes should be
investigated fully and criminals should be
prosecuted to the full extent of the law. He
plans on increasing the number of police
officers on the streets and redistributing
funds based on merit and need.
Education:
McCain believes that parents should have
the right to send their children to schools
that will be safe and give them the best possible education. He wants to make it possible for parents to send their children to the
school of their choice and not require them
to attend a certain school because of their
address.
Environment:
McCain believes that we have a duty to
take care of the planet and plans to implement several policies to aid in a cleaner
environment. He believes that the environment must be implemented at the local level
as that is where the impacts will manifest
themselves
Energy:
McCain believes that it is essential that
America no longer be dependent on foreign
oil. He supports offshore drilling and plans
to invest in the research and development of
clean alternative energy sources.
Gay Rights:
McCain believes that marriage is a sacred
union between one man and one woman
and does not believe that the term can be
used to describe a union between homosex-
ual couples. He believes that the power to
define marriage is an issue that should be
dealt with at a state level.
Gun Control:
McCain believes that the right of law
abiding citizens to keep and bear arms is
fundamental to this country. He believes
that criminals should be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law instead of taking away
liberties of the innocent.
Health Care:
McCain wants to give every family a
$5,000 health credit and a $2,500 credit
to individuals. He wants to open up insurance so that individuals can cross state lines
when looking for health care in order to get
the best price.
Iraq and Foreign Policy:
McCain believes that it is essential for
America to support Iraq's government
until they are able to govern themselves.
He believes that pulling troops out without
first making sure that the government is
stable would leave Iraq worse off than when
America invaded.
Immigration:
McCain wants to secure our borders and
make sure that all peaceable undocumented
immigrants either leave or begin the process to getting legal status in the states. He
believes it is essential to deal with the process in such a manner that families are able
to stay together.
Taxes and Budget:
McCain believes in supply side economics and will push to lower taxes on companies in order to allow them to be more
productive and therefore able to offer more
jobs. He also opposes Internet taxes and cell
phone taxes that could hinder the growth of
both mediums.

unions but does not support gay marriage.

policy of the military concerning homosexuals.

assault weapons, and increased background
checks for purchasing guns.
Health Care:
Obama supports universal health care and
healthcare for minors supported by taxpayers. He is neutral on tax incentives for purchasing private insurance.
Iraq and Foreign Policy:
He supports a timetable for leaving Iraq
and opening diplomacy with North Korea
and Iran. He is neutral concerning unilateral
military force.
Immigration:
He supports creating a border fence while
creating means to citizenship of illegal
immigrants. He opposes labeling English as
the national language.

Drugs.
Social Security:
Obama opposes investments privatizing
Social Security and supports increasing an
earnings cap of Social Security.
