Free Speech Zone
The Free Speech Zone offers a space for contributions from readers, without editing by the TC Daily Planet. This is an open forum for articles that otherwise might not find a place for publication, including news articles, opinion columns, announcements and even a few press releases. Click here and follow directions to submit an article.
Transparency: We ask that you identify any connection or interest that you have in what you are writing about. For example, if you are employed by a political campaign and you are writing about a candidate, you should disclose that fact. If your article is a press release for an organization, please say so.
Tone and style: We hope your submissions will be constructive, accurate, and submitted in the spirit of contributing to civic dialogue. That is a guideline, but it is not a requirement for publication—the Free Speech Zone will not impose “politeness” standards. We encourage everyone to add a short bio at the end of your article.
The Free Speech Zone is a work-in-progress, which will be shaped by your contributions and participation.

Go vesgetarian for a healthier lifestyle
Ever feel disgusted when looking down at the dinner plate, only to see a piece of flesh on a bone waiting to be devoured? Maybe it’s time people met their meat, gained some knowledge, and saw what they’re really dealing with. Though humans are capable of eating meat as well as vegetables, it does not mean that it is necessary for life. Humans are not carnivores nor herbivores, frugivores, gramnivores, folivores, insectivores, etc. They cannot be strictly specialized eaters of just one category, because they are capable of eating just about anything.
