This letter is in response to Sean Conlen's letter to the editor concerning Michael Moore's documentaries ("Moore raises issues, distorts findings," SN 6/17). As Conlen stated, Moore excused inconsistencies and blatantly lied "in order to drive home an ideology," and furthermore that this was a "frightening trend" for political discourse.
I am concerned with the recent news that soft drinks could be taxed in the future. I strongly disagree with taxing soft drinks. Many students like to grab a cold soda on their way to class to refresh their minds.
As I meander through my daily routines, I am saturated by multimedia that tells me what our society values.
A tuition increase of 2.4 percent has been passed by the MSU Board of Trustees for the 2004-05 school year.
I will remember Ronald Reagan as the man who sent Donald Rumsfeld to normalize relationships with Saddam Hussein, despite knowing his horrible human rights abuses. I will remember Reagan as the man who sold arms to Iraq and Iran during the Iraq-Iran conflict, in which one million people were killed by U.S.
I am responding to Billy Kelly's statement concerning slavery and segregation never existing in Michigan ("SN editorials should be more objective," SN 6/21). I hate to burst your bubble, but segregation and slavery both existed in Michigan. Maybe he needs to take a class in African-American history.
I am supremely disappointed with the MSU Board of Trustees in their search for MSU's 20th president.
When the winners write the history books, we're all at a loss. History, as we know it, is inherently biased.
Your editorial "License to Whine" has many valid points.
After reading "Police sting Holt restroom (SN 6/15)," I can only wonder why those homosexual criminals don't get it.
There's something seriously wrong with U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton. He has a penchant for deception.
This is in response to T.J. Jourian's column, "Heroification" after Reagan death overlooks legacy of discrimination," (SN 6/17). After a friend and myself decided on a whim to drive down to Washington D.C.
How convenient of the extremely left-wing State News to defend affirmative action. It's remarkable how a newspaper can be so patriotic in defending government policy, while simultaneously criticizing President Bush and other conservative leaders.
The recent State News editorial concerning the Supreme Court decision on the Pledge of Allegiance ("Flags Up," SN 6/15) is illogical at best and downright ignorant at worst.
On Friday, the MSU Board of Trustees limited an eight-month, nationwide search for MSU's next president to a five-week walk up one flight of stairs in the Administration Building.
I was disappointed to read "Study: College Students Lack Political Motivation (SN 6/15)." State Senator Valde Garcia of Howell said it best: Those who don't vote won't be heard.
Thank you, City Council, for passing yet another student-related ordinance the very minute that most of the affected population leaves for the summer.
I am writing this letter to send my sincerest condolences to the staff and family at Crunchy's.
A few weeks ago I finished reading "Lies My Teacher Told Me," a book that has been on my to-read list for far too long.
I think Maddie Trier might want to do a little more research on her columns before she goes flying off the handle about a draft.
