Here's a little something we like to call 'Sweet and Sour.' Sweet equals good, sour equals bad (although some of them are borderline tasteless).
Sweet: Being able to freely express your opinion on the war.
Sour: Realizing that no matter how many anti-war rallies you attend, e-mails you send to your elected officials or letters you write to local editors, you will never -- in any way, shape or form -- impact the war on Iraq.
Sweet: Americans, many of them our own age, are risking their lives to take down Saddam Hussein and protect America.
Sour: Of the 535 members of Congress -- only one of them -- has a son or daughter enlisted in the armed forces.
Sweet: We can get all the information we need on the conflict in Iraq.

Sour: Does anyone know what's going on in Indiana?
Sweet: 19-year-old prisoner of war, Jessica Lynch, was rescued Tuesday.
Sour: There are currently 22 American and British troops listed on the CNN Web site as being either a prisoner of war or missing in action.
Sweet: There are now umbrellas outside of the Atrium, protecting students from the lunchtime sun.
Sour: It looks like there is a tiki bar in the middle of campus, complete with a water hole.
Sweet: Driving through campus in your pimped-out car, reclined in your seat with one hand on the steering wheel.
Sour: Students see you -- and the parade behind you -- drive by every ten minutes. They are laughing at you, seriously.
Sweet: Girls getting 'hooched' up for class.
Sour: Girls realizing they are hooches.
Sweet: Everyone is able to post comments on the Daily News Web site, http://www.bsudailynews.com.
Sour: The same five guys post every day.
Sweet: Your boyfriend is perfect -- he's tan, athletic, sensitive, good looking, funny and knows how to accessorize.
Sour: Everyone thinks he's gay, especially you.
Sweet: Ball State senior Andy Beckman has made it to the top three of the "Live with Regis and Kelly" co-host search.
Sour: You haven't voted yet. Vote for Andy now at www.livewithregisandkelly.com.
Sweet: Having class outside.
Sour: Having class.
Sweet: Mat's "Screw Flanders" columns.
Sour: Kevin's "Cobb, Party of One" columns.
Sweet: People are concerned why we haven't been writing together very often this semester.
Sour: We won't be writing together next week.
Sweet: Scottie's in the Village now offers free delivery.
Sour: They can't deliver beer.
Sweet: Target opened a new store, complete with cool cheap stuff. It's also close to Panera Bread.
Sour: By the time you can make it through the traffic to Target, all the cool cheap stuff won't be cool.
Sweet: IUPUI, Butler, Notre Dame, Indiana and Purdue made it to the NCAA tournament.
Sour: Ball State fans that were saying 'wait til next year' have nothing to look forward to now that Theron Smith is entering the NBA draft.
Sweet. You passed your English class.
Sour: You're signed up to take the Writing Competency Exam today.
