Melissa Domsic Special for The State News The bond between a human and an animal is like love, veterinarian and author Marty Becker said in his presentation during the third annual Human-Animal Bond Initiative's Conference held Friday and Saturday at the Kellogg Center.

I was appalled to read The State News column "Even without reason, there's a time, place for everything" (SN 10/6). It's hard for me to understand why some people insist that God causes people to die - that "God just takes people when he sees it to be necessary." God doesn't kill people.

It seems as if MSU students are all talk, no walk - some stumble. Well, at least almost no voice. That's right, most of you are part of the silent majority.

State lawmakers are preparing an ultimatum for minors caught drinking: Finish a substance abuse program or face time in jail. Judges statewide say they are troubled that they don't have the legal footing to force minors to comply with probation terms when they are cited for underage drinking. As a result, a bipartisan set of lawmakers are pushing legislation that empowers judges to send underage drinkers who don't complete treatment or community service programs to jail for up to 90 days. East Lansing 54-B District Court Judge Richard Ball said judges want the option to apply "pressure" that forces problem underage drinkers to seek counseling. "There is certainly a class of people that need an extra push," said Ball, who testified on behalf of the Michigan District Court Judges Association before a state House committee last week on curbing problem drinking. Those cited for the first time for underage drinking are subject to a misdemeanor punishable by a $100 fine.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Arnold "The Austrian Oak" Schwarzenegger has been named California's new governor, another ready-made politician with virtually no relevant political experience, save for the parodies of fighting "crazy terrorists killers" in the Hollywood action thriller "Collateral Damage" and vilifying an Arab population in "True Lies." Normally, I would lament upon the horrific state of public elections and the overwhelming ignorance of most voters, but because I believe that no amount of political fervor and effort will ever reverse this trend of apathy, I won't.
