Letter to the Editor: We need 'Medicare for all' in the U.S.
What do we call people who enable the deaths of tens of thousands of people every year because they want money for their elections? "Medicare for all" is the only solution. Full Story

Letter to the Editor: Women demeaning themselves at frat parties
From my observations, women demean themselves at fraternity parties by letting men objectify them in order to be accepted. I believe that young women at this university should take a better approach to receiving attention other than dressing suggestively and acting brainless. Full Story

Letter to the Editor: CU should ease up on prereqs, core classes
Giving entry level University of Colorado students a larger variety of courses to enroll in would help those students become more successful following graduation Full Story

Letter to the Editor: Still sore about Norlin on Labor Day
College students generally adore Labor Day weekend. It's an extra day to party, hang out with friends, etc. Full Story

Letter to the Editor: Just say no to mandatory CU alcohol education class
I recall being a freshman at CU and noticing the problematic drinking behaviors of my peers. Yes, alcohol and drugs can be dangerous, but the answer is not to create a mandatory course for incoming students. Full Story

Letter to the Editor: Switch campus bike/pedestrian lanes
Something interesting that I noticed when I arrived in Boulder: sidewalks have lanes! There are two lanes for bicyclists on the side of the sidewalk closer to the street and a separate lane for pedestrians on the side further away from the street along Broadway on the perimeter of campus.

Letter to the Editor: CU Buffs' Darrell Scott has left the (re)building
A fear that many have had since the start of this disaster of a football season has finally been realized. Darrell Scott, the highly touted five star recruit from the 2008 class, has finally had enough of coach Dan Hawkins and his empty promises. Full Story

Letter to the Editor: Barry Siff says 'Vote for me'
Ballots have been sent out for the Boulder City Council election, and must be received by the county by Tuesday. Full Story

Obama's plan makes health care safer
One aspect of President Barack Obama's plan is to cut costs by improving the way health care is provided. As a nurse, I observed first-hand how converting to an electronic medical record system increased efficiency while it decreased errors. Full Story

Independence Institute's Neocon agenda
I can appreciate the gadfly element of truly "independent" insight, but this "institute" is primarily an ideologically driven propaganda arm of the Neocon agenda posing itself as a political "think tank." Full Story

Come see 'The Age of Stupid'
I have noticed that global warming has been appearing more frequently in newspapers across the country. Some articles give readers information about what causes global warming and others do not. Full Story

Take a hike, Hawk
Coach Hawk: Please leave CU. You realize that the only reason you still have your job is the fact that our athletic department is flat broke. Full Story

Republican health care plan: Don't get sick
There are a lot of things rational, honest Republicans could contribute to the essential health care reform agenda. Full Story

Public option a must for the U.S.
We must have health care reform in this country if we want to avoid being aligned with the Third World when it comes to taking care of our citizens. Full Story

It's OK Chicago didn't get the Olympics
I'm from uberliberal Hyde Park in Chicago and, hey, I love my old University of Chicago/Hyde Park neighborhood -- its buildings, its people, its philosophy and its heart and soul. Full Story

Oh, the humanity!
Whether it's the cops announcing they will arrest people for nude pumpkin-headed parading on Halloween, or a kid suspended from the University of Colorado for an entire semester for streaking at a football game, or the FCC fining CBS for Janet Jackson's exposed breast -- when are we going to learn to accept our humanity? Full Story

Boulder a climate change leader
We are fortunate to live in Boulder County. It makes me proud to see all the responsible choices Boulder residents make to have a city and county we can be proud of. Full Story

Letters to the Editor: Go ahead and boo the Buffs
I am writing this in response to John Weibel's letter telling CU fans not to boo their team. University of Colorado students have every right to boo the Buffs when they are doing poorly -- just as they have every right to cheer when they are winning. Full Story

Beware the rise of frankenfoods
I want and deserve the right just by living here on this planet to eat healthy and non-tainted food. Full Story

Stop those blood-sucking insurance companies
This is not health care reform, it is corporate influence and business as usual. What began as a way to bring relief to citizens is clearly becoming a giveaway to private insurance companies. Full Story
