  1. Editorial: 'The big problem with the Illinois House gun bill'?

    Under orders from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the Illinois legislature is trying to craft a law that will allow responsible gun owners to carry concealed weapons in public. The court said the legislature has to do this, but the court didn't say <em>how</em> to do it. No surprise in a state as large and geographically diverse as Illinois, that's proving to be no easy task.

    In 2004, teenager Michael Hernandez murdered his 14-year-old best friend, Jamie Gough, in a bathroom at Southwood Middle School in Coconut Grove.

  10. Today's Buzz: Allow gay Boy Scouts?

    The 1,400 members of the Boy Scouts of America&rsquo;s National Council were scheduled to vote at 6 pm Thursday on whether to drop the organization&rsquo;s 1978 ban on gay scouts.

Public attitudes on homosexuality have changed significantly since 1978, with 11 states now allowing same-sex marriages. Should the Scouts reverse its policy? Will accepting gays undermine Scout principles? Should policies on sexual orientation be different for youth groups? Talk about it!
