Things I was happy not knowing about

Letter to the Editor

They say that ignorance is bliss and the Senator Larry Craig incident has shattered my ignorant bliss. I've used the restrooms at airports for some 30 years without even considering that guys were in there trying to pick up other guys for sex. I was very happy not knowing anything about this and now when I walk into a public restroom I'm going to be aware of what might be going on around me. The innocence of just going to the bathroom is now gone.

Funding the war is the same as voting for it

Letter to the Editor

Democrats like to talk like they are against the war but now rumor has it that Bush wants another 50 billion dollars on top of another127 billion dollars that was anticipated that nill be requested this fall. If you vote to fund the war you are voting for the war. If Democrats keep voting for the war then they are no different than Republicans voting for the war. Why should we vote for people who vote with Bush?

I am calling on everyone to stop donating money to political campaigns of both parties until Congress votes against funding the war. If you give monet to a party that is enabling the war you too are voting for the war. We can't force Democrats to vote against the war unless we stop giving them money

Gay Republican Larry Craig should Resign

Letter to the Editor

In 1998 Republican Senator Larry Craig voted to impeach President Clinton over sex and perjury charges. Now Larry Craig has pleaded guilty to charges involving him attempting to have gay sex with an undercover police officer in the Men's Room of an airport. Larry claims that he is not gay and that he really didn't do what he pleaded guilty to. But when Clinton was on trial they said that it wasn't really about the sex, but that he lied under oath about it. Today Larry Craig admitted that he lied under oath to a judge when he pleaded guilty in court. Isn't that the same thing that they impeached Clinton over?

The problem with Republicans and sex scandals is that if you are going to be the party that stands up to the gay agenda then you have to get rid of senators who plead guilty in court. Besides, when I'm in the airport and I go into the Men's Room, I don't want to think about if there are gay Republican senators in there tapping their feet and looking through keyholes for someone to have oral sex with.
