Do you people know what day it is? Sure, you deceptively print the correct date on the top of the front page, but the rest of your paper feels like a time warp.
The Bush administration’s current heralding of an energy crisis is right on target. There is obviously an energy shortage, because, seriously, who would ever fabricate such a crisis for purely political and economic gain?
While it is unfortunate the L.A. Globe nightclub is being forced to shut down because of liquor law violations and numerous police calls, the three owners of the club should try to clean up their establishment and get it back in business. The Lansing City Council voted in March to block renewal of the club’s liquor license.
Have you ever sat and listened to a group of small children talking about their parents? There is always an enormous amount of pride and fervor in their little voices.
The article “Knott pleads guilty to lesser charges” (SN 5/24) has me stunned.
State Sen. David Jaye was booted from office Thursday. I’m glad. But I know a lot of people aren’t.
What is it that makes young people conservative? I’ve had many arguments with young Republicans who have perfectly legitimate political arguments, but I still can’t understand what makes them conservative. Like many young people, I was initially influenced by my parents’ values.
I have often heard about the cops here in East Lansing being corrupt. I have heard so many stories and once it happened to me.
In reading what Shane Singh had to say about a billboard in East Lansing, (“Billboard doesn’t serve and protect” SN 5/23), I could not hold my tongue.
The departure of Vermont Sen. James Jeffords from the Republican Party last Thursday was an accreditation to the American legislative system.
Sen. David Jaye’s actions are deplorable and quite disappointing, but this does not give the Senate adequate grounds for dismissal. Jaye, R-Washington Township, faced charges in a Florida court for domestic abuse against fiancée Sonia Kloss, but the charges were dropped last week.
I do whatever my dead hamster tells me to do. In my junior year of college, I quit a research job and stole a hamster.
Recently I sat watching the lights go dim on one of my favorite restaurants. Being a long-term local I could almost say for nearly nine years it was one of my haunts.
In response to your editorial (“Good Medicine,” SN 5/17), I would like to point out that cannabis has no lethal dose and its pharmacological effects have never caused a single death in more than 5,000 years of recorded history.
President Bush’s new budget includes little or no increase in programs that fund research projects here at the university.
As I was driving home from work a few days ago, a portable billboard that had been placed along Burcham Drive by one of our local police departments immediately caught my attention.
At this time last year I was far, far away from here and thrilled about it to the point of near-delirium.
Firestone’s decision to end its partnership with Ford Motor Co. was the best choice for the tire company. Bridgestone/Firestone Inc. announced Tuesday it would stop selling tires to Ford Motor Co. Ford has also announced intentions to replace up to 13 million Firestone tires in an effort to improve public relations since the massive tire recall last summer. Bridgestone/Firestone executives have admitted problems with its Wilderness AT tires, which used to be standard packaging on the Ford Explorer, but also attribute the sport utility vehicle’s problems to Ford’s design. General Motors still uses Firestone tires on 14 models, and has found no problems. John Lampe, Bridgestone/Firestone chief executive and president, said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Tuesday that Ford Explorers with replaced tires in Venezuela continue to roll over. While both companies clearly have problems, Firestone made a wise decision by splitting with Ford. Firestone has made attempts to improve its product by recalling the ATX, ATX II and Wilderness AT model tires.
It’s disappointing so many people are cheering at the news that the concealed weapons reform law our legislature passed might now be sidetracked until November 2002.
I can’t understand why we even have a constitution. Isn’t it so the citizens can tell their government what powers it doesn’t have and how it is supposed to exercise those it does?
