• Will the visit by Attorney General Eric Holder and Education Secretary Arne Duncan to Chicago to discuss youth violence make a difference?

  Wed Oct 7, 2009
  • The only way the visit will make a difference is if the youth perpetrating the violence are moved by the visit. I think that is unlikely.

• Should the Taliban be part of Afghanistan's political future?

  Thu Oct 8, 2009
  • I am a citizen of the United States and am not in a position to answer this question. If I were Afghani, I would answer.

• FSU official wants Bowden gone after season

  • I took a look at Mr. Smith's profile on the Florida State website. His football credentials apparently were not listed. As near as I could tell, he is nothing more than fan -albeit, a fan with power. This fellow should stick with what he knows.

• Is Y.E. Yang's victory over Tiger Woods the greatest sports upset of all time?

  • Last evening on a Cleveland television newscast, I saw a video tape of a weak and unhealthy Mr. Demjanjuk, in pajamas being helped in a hopsital bed, barely able to move and appearing to be in distress. The tape video was made by his advocates trying to conjure up sympathy for him.

• Critics call WTC tower name change unpatriotic

  Sat Mar 28, 2009

• Clinton: U.S. drug habits fuel border violence

  Wed Mar 25, 2009
  • Secretary Clinton is right on this. Our country creates the demand for illegal drugs. Clearly treatment and education only go so far in cutting demand. To take it further, we need to either decriminalize drugs or make mere possession laws so draconian that only hard core users will continue to buy.

• Rep. Barney Frank calls Scalia a 'homophobe'

  Mon Mar 23, 2009
  • I understand your more liberal view of judicial activism. I would counter by saying that the Consitution is silent on the issue of private sexual conduct; therefore, any judicial ruling on such matters is activist.

• Rep. Barney Frank calls Scalia a 'homophobe'

  Mon Mar 23, 2009
  • I agree with Representative Frank. Justice Scalia is not a true conservative. True conservatives do all they can to minimize the government's role in how people coduct their private lives. The Justice wants to impose his Catholic values on everyone by condoning the regulation of private behavior.
