Letters to the Editor: Drinking is 'bloody good fun'
Thursday, Sept. 4, 2008
In a column Tuesday (“Don’t lower the drinking age,” by Sue Carlton), it was claimed that moving the drinking age to 18 will not cure binge drinking. I couldn’t agree more, mainly because there is no cure for binge drinking. Full story »
Letters: 'I will not vote for you, Cindy'
Friday, June 13, 2008
I see Cindy Carlisle is proposing to give "undocumented students" taxpayer-subsidized tuition in college. This means that illegal aliens who snuck into this country will recieve a huge monetary benefit compliments of the already hurting middle-class taxpayers. Gee thanks, Cindy. Liberals like Cindy are always very generous -- with someone else's money, of course.It seems to me that policies like this can only worsen the already critical border-crossing problem by giving an extra incentive to anyone wanting to sneak in to USA. If 12 million illegals isn't enough, this will surely result in more flooding in. I would suggest that if Cindy and others like her want to help illegal aliens that she do so with her own money, and have some respect for the taxpayer for a change. I will not vote for you, Cindy.

Letters: Is Rev. Wright right?
Friday, May 2, 2008
The interview Bill Moyers did with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. was nothing short of beautiful---and also revealing of our press and how our media workers can have anything communicate as it, the media so desires. I can easily see that the Reverend Wright Jr, if he is presented as he is by media could be more powerful a speaker than Martin Luther King if only because we as a people are more conscious of who and what we are.

Let's push for real healthcare reform
Tuesday, April 15, 2008
The US spends about twice as much for health care as the average among industrialized nations so says Dr. Steffi Woolhandler, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School. But those other industrialized countries provide comprehensive coverage for their entire populations, while the US leaves more than 47 million uninsured and millions more inadequately covered. The US performs poorly on major health indicators, such as life expectancy, infant mortality and immunization rates, in comparison. Full story »
Peterson aims to dumb down CU - Letters to the Editor
Thursday, April 3, 2008
According to the Colorado Daily (Paula Pant. March 27, “Reaching toward a rainbow”) CU-Boulder Chancellor Bud Peterson told a meeting of CU's “Regents and the chancellors from all three campuses” on March 26, that “Boulder's goal is to create a campus that accurately reflects its surrounding demographics.” By these words does he mean that the number of CU-Boulder's students are to proportionately represent African Americans, Hispanics and American Indians who live in the State. Let's see, if 30 percent of Colorado's high school graduates each year are members of minority groups, and 70 percent are non-minority Americans, then for every 7 white American admittees, 3 minority members would be admitted. That's not admission by merit, but racism. That's not uniting America, but dividing us all. Full story »
