OPINION

NASA far from dead

Letter to the Editor February 7, 2010

I applaud Will Tucker’s enthusiasm for NASA and space exploration. It is my passion, and it excites me when it ends up in the forefront of people’s discussion. More people talking about space translates...

Repealing “don’t ask, don’t tell” won’t hurt military

Secessionist talk is unpatriotic

Jonathan Reed February 5, 2010

Talking about seceding from the United States from one side of your mouth while touting your patriotism with the other side is like calling for bipartisanship after saying, “Either you are with us, or...

Our View: Gambling raids unnecessary

Andrew Richardson February 4, 2010

In short: Crackdowns on illegal gambling are a waste of money and won’t solve the problem. It’s a well-known cliché to people who call for the legalization of drugs: The easiest way to stop the war...
