America is in the midst of a "culture war." However, our myopic focus on peripheral issues such as abortion or gay rights masks the root cause of the conflict, which is fundamentalist Christianity. I doubt the real agenda fundamentalists have for our country would garner support from most Americans.
This is in response to "Sex education is job for parents" (SN 1/19). I was disappointed in the obvious narrow-minded view a fellow MSU student had in his comments about sex education in schools. I would agree that in an ideal world there would be no need for sex education in school - where parents would have the time, accurate knowledge and resources available to them to educate their kids themselves.
I am writing in response to Mr. Garlock's critique of Martin Luther King Jr. ("Martin Luther King Jr.
Hey you, pay attention. Stop ogling pictures of Maurice Ager and take notice of the other Big Ten basketball team tearing it up at Breslin Center. Although the No.
Alberto Gonzales, President Bush's appointment to replace John Ashcroft as Attorney General, is unfit to be the top law enforcement officer in our democracy.
In regards to the editorial ("Help wanted" SN 1/19), they were not so suddenly understaffed.
E-mails asking recipients to fill out surveys, regardless of what they are about, are deleted almost as fast as junk mail.
Riding the bus on Tuesday, I was surprised to pass by the rock on Farm Lane and see "Abortion Kills" written in dark paint.
"Move on?" Indeed. Outstandingly spineless and shallow editorial by The State News ("Dead End" SN 1/14). You give Bush a pass on all of his responsibilities for screwing up this war of choice.
Newspapers are dying. Before I explain this none-too-original claim, let me thank you for even having this paper in your hands.
President George W. Bush will be sworn in today, but it will mark the third day of celebratory activities honoring his second inauguration.
The Izzone has gotten out of control. I am a fifth-year student who commutes an hour and a half to come to my last few classes and to try and attend MSU basketball games.
It is always amazing to me how many people fail to see the real problem with sex education. Should we really be debating what they should be teaching about sex in public schools?
Imagine the life of a Marine's girlfriend. We'll call her the scared bystander. She stays online for hours e-mailing her brave boyfriend, answers every "out of area" phone call hoping it's him and practically lives at the post office, sending him packages and envelopes marked "sealed with a kiss." His picture is framed on a shelf in her dorm room, and every time she opens her wallet she sees him in full uniform next to her debit card. That she is me.
This letter is in response to David Garlock's ignorant assessment of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Sometimes, numbers speak louder than words. Eight out of the 10 staff members of the MSU Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, located in Lansing, left earlier this month.
There's no debate that good decision-making comes from understanding every operation available.
I hope ASMSU and the Residence Halls Association will do everything they can to prevent the MSU Board of Trustees from banning open alcohol on campus.
In response to "Admissions process overly selective" (SN 1/11), the reader seems to be confused, and I hope my letter will help him out. While it may be true you have no desire to become an accountant, at least having a general understanding and showing competency in it (as well as other business core classes) will make you a better business professional and more desirable to the job market.
Within this country there seems to be a fundamental moral deficiency: Americans really only care about American loss of life.
