While dogs are allowed on patios and designated outside SEE FIREWORKS, PAGE 4 dining areas, pet owners are required to keep them on the leash, and animals are not allowed to pass through the inside of the restaurant. Gainesville City Commissioner Thomas Hawkins said the process of passing the ordinance is unusual because most res- taurant laws are determined by the state. This is one law the city has control over, he said. “It is the one exception to the general rule that the state deter- mines restaurant laws,” he said. “Lots of people walk their dogs around here and want to be able to bring them. They don’t want to leave them at home. People are close with their pets, and in the long run, that $250, over the course, would bring in that much more business.” Ryland Wagner Shuck general manager Hawkins said he thinks the permit is a good idea for restau- rants and residents. “I think it’s a great idea for people when they want to eat out,” he said. “For those who consider their dogs part of their family, it’s a great way to cater to them so they can include their dogs.” Dog owner and 19-year-old athletic training junior Marissa Triassi said that by allowing pets at restaurants, she is able to include Obie, her fox-terrier puppy, in her dinner plans. “He loves to just sit by us while we eat and hang out,” she said. “I think it’s a better option than having to leave him home every time we go out to eat.” Additionally, the new permit option lets dogs experience dif- ferent environments and have the opportunity to socialize, she said.

City restaurants have the option to pay $250 for a pet permit DOGS, from page 1 food Restaurant, added that allowing people to bring their pets to eat with them is fun, and it could be benefi cial for restaurants. “Lots of people walk their dogs around here and want to be able to bring them,” he said. “They don’t want to leave them at home. People are close with their pets, and in the long run, that $250, over the course, would bring in that much more business.” However, some restaurant owners are not pleased with the $250 permit. Gabriel Garner, owner of the Jones B-Side, which has allowed pets on his restaurant’s patio in the past, said he is unsure about whether he would be willing to pay the price. “We’ve allowed dogs on the patio for a while, and a lot of other restaurants have, too.

IEdward Snowden’s leaks reveal that the National Security Agency bugged EU diplomatic offi ces in Washington and New York, hacked into its computer networks and monitored phone lines at its headquarters in Brussels. “We are no longer in the Cold War,” German Chancellor An- gela Merkel’s spokesperson said. But in a sense, we are living in a Cold War-type of scenario. As before, the whole world is being held hostage. Before, annihilation was a very real threat as the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. engaged in a wild, global power grab. But now, there’s a different threat to the safety of humanity. In a post-evil empire world, what role have the supposed victors played? The U.S. government is a machine of immense power. It can spy on nearly anyone in the world, especially with a desire to. It can also, as we learned from Iraq, lead us to strike another country preemptively based on a lie without a declara- tion of war and stay engaged there for a long time.

Once upon a time, the people, or our representatives, would have the chance to debate decisions in the public.
