Marines should be involved in Haiti
Has it come to protesting legitimate United States intervention? Last time I checked, Haiti was in the middle of a coup.

No one expected President George W. Bush to protect a woman's right to choose - he's been explicitly anti-choice since 1994.
I am not uneducated. I am not evil. I have faith. I am an atheist. I am an atheist for myself, not because of the beliefs or actions of anyone else.
This letter is in response to all the people out there who think gay-rights issues can be compared to the civil-rights issues of the '50s and '60s.
Whose idea was it to hang a Big Ten Championship banner before we actually won a championship? Didn't the athletics department learn its lesson from 1998, when we unveiled the championship banner and then went on to lose to Purdue?
Hey, you. Yeah, you. Everyone knows it's you - you anonymous hacker sitting in a darkened room by yourself, rubbing your hands together evilly while plotting mass destruction through your Internet viruses. Stop it.
If you find piles of elephant mess around Jenison Field House, don't be alarmed and certainly don't step in it.
Each month, we're robbed by the Graduate Employees Union. Yep, the very organization that claims to represent all graduate student teaching assistants robs us of approximately $25 each month.
Why have religions been seen as dangerous? Put another way, why have people's personal beliefs been seen as threatening to those who hold different views?
You liberals remind me of what Jack Nicholson said in "A Few Good Men" - "You can't handle the truth." John Kerry says whatever he can to get elected, even though he doesn't mean any of it.
Over the past few weeks, there has been increased scrutiny on the whole issue of same-sex marriage. The country is fairly polarized for or against, and the issue will be a political football on both sides in the fall elections. But with all the hype about the sanctity of marriage and concern that the entire downfall of the known civilized world rests on preventing gays and lesbians from being granted something ordained from heaven, I wondered if something subtle is hidden in all this furor. I admit that I first wondered why the conservative community, which says marriage should not be tainted by these "other" kinds of unions, doesn't do something about the number of divorces that take place in the United States. With 50 percent of all marriages ending in divorce, something has a funny smell in this here country.

I was completely shocked and offended by the opening to your article "Basketball takes TV by storm" (SN 3/1) where you stated, "Girlfriends wait with fear and trepidation while their boyfriends' hormones get revved up." Regarding Championship Week, did you ever consider for a moment that perhaps women appreciate college basketball just as much as men?
In an ideal world, everyone goes the speed limit and is a kind and courteous driver. In the real world, however, people don't go the speed limit if it's too slow, and it's pretty hard to find anyone who actually goes 35 mph on westbound Saginaw Street from Hagadorn Road to Coolidge Road.

Step into either Case or Holmes Halls on an average weekday, and you'll discover a place where many students living next to one another have the same classes, majors and interests.
Monday's State News read, "One man is dead and another wounded after an early morning shooting at an East Lansing 7-Eleven store." It's a sentence any MSU student hopes never to read and a sentence no reporter for The State News ever wished to write.
I'll admit it. I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000. I decided to support him after I heard him speak at the MSU Auditorium four years ago.
For the people who want instant replay to be standard in NCAA football and want a playoff system or want Maurice Clarett to be eligible for the NFL - please do me a favor, turn off your televisions on Saturday and wait until Sunday.
When I picked up The State News on Thursday, I was so pleased with the picture and front page article ("Skin-deep"). Then, I turned to page two.
