To avoid destruction, our values must change
Take a moment and really look around you. You see hurrying people and cars going every which way with a mild intent of purpose.
COMMENTARY
Terrorism has taken over our lives
You have to admit, the world is getting pretty scary. Friday, the United Kingdom announced to the public that it successfully foiled a terrorist plot to "commit mass murder on an unimaginable scale." When I heard the news, I didn't flinch.

Historically black schools open their doors
Look around on your first day of class and you're bound to see people from different cultures and backgrounds.
COMMENTARY
Krouse should read Bible before making arguments
Shane Krouse's latest column, "Bible supports abortion rights," (SN 8/10), is sadly misinformed and wrongheaded.
COMMENTARY
Funding difficult to get for science, education
I agree entirely with your sentiment in "¡Muy bien!
COMMENTARY
Freedom shouldn't be taken for granted
Drew Robert Winter makes the case that the president is a tyrant in his column, "'Freedom,' as defined by Bush, only infringes on people's rights," (SN 8/2). I've been hearing this accusation since 2000, when President Bush "stole" the presidential election.
COMMENTARY
Bible doesn't promote slavery, abortion rights
Shane Krouse's column "Bible supports abortion rights," (SN 8/10), claims various things about Christians, the Bible and slavery.

Cleaner CATA makes better city
You might see new buses on campus this fall, and they're nothing like what you're used to.
COMMENTARY
Welcome to America (maybe)
The United States may be the land of opportunity, but it is very hard to benefit from it with restrictions on immigration.
COMMENTARY
Writer missed point, Larrowe no right-wing, gun-toting nut
This is in response to "Larrowe column shows little change from 1979," (SN 8/7). As a 1983 engineering graduate, I used to read Lash Larrowe religiously.
COMMENTARY
The best of Lash Larrowe: Big business is better
Reprinted from the Nov. 6, 1981 edition of The State News I'm in my office and just as this student walks in, the phone rings.
COMMENTARY
Bible supports abortion rights
As some Christians deny scientific evidence, which can be proven, I will fight them with their own book of knowledge.
COMMENTARY
¡Muy bien! to languages early on
As the first step on the path of education, elementary school serves an important purpose. From kindergarten to fifth grade, we learn the basics of math, English and science.
COMMENTARY
Classroom needs innovation
I stumbled last week into two of the more interesting conversations I've had on education. With the school year beginning and debate revving over President Bush's No Child Left Behind Act, these talks struck me as getting down to the rub about our future.
COMMENTARY
City to the people: There are cultural venues
The State News recently ran the column "City missing artistic venues," (SN 7/28), by Ryan McCormick.
COMMENTARY
Supporting gun control good, not Anti-American
David Garlock's letter to the editor "Granholm signing Self-Defense Act laughable," (SN 8/8), only demonstrates his profound ignorance.
COMMENTARY
State News battle not worthy of front page
Why is the article "State News continues battle for information," (SN 8/8), on the front page? I am getting tired of reading the same story every week.
COMMENTARY
Protester speaks up, moves in
President Bush has a new neighbor, and she's who you'd least expect. A year after her much-publicized march to the Bush ranch where she unsuccessfully demanded to meet the president, Cindy Sheehan, who has been called "the face of opposition to the Iraq war," arrived in Crawford, Texas, on Sunday.
COMMENTARY
Yates insane, sure, but also guilty of murdering her kids
Five children were drowned, their mother confessed to the crime — and yet no one is guilty. On July 26, Texas jurors found Andrea Yates not guilty by reason of insanity for the methodical killing of her children on June 20, 2001.
COMMENTARY
Granholm signing Self-Defense act laughable
I want to thank Gov. Jennifer Granholm for signing the Self-Defense Act on July 20. I know that the reason she did so was motivated out of a political calculation and not her sincere belief in the measure.
