I heartily enjoyed Mr. Eller’s political column on the Kyoto Protocol. His unsupported claims and faulty logic greatly amused me. He used the old fallback excuse that “there is not enough known about global warming, therefore we should sit on our hands and do nothing.” He claims that “we” are uncertain if global warming is […]

If Iraq is worth the money, global warming certainly is too
I keep re-reading Brian Eller’s article on global warming and still can’t figure out how he relates this environmental cause to the holocaust. Apparently, people concerned with the depletion of natural resources are Nazis. Good work. The problem may not be as bad as some activists make it sound, but that does not mean we […]

A sustainable society is feasible
Sustainability Month’s theme as an “environmental armageddon” does not seem quite accurate. I attended many of the events and not once did I hear of an inevitable death to mankind. What I heard was rather how we can profitably transition our society and economy towards sustainability to ensure a healthy, resource abundant future. Many of […]

Some knowledge for Mr. Eller
Brian Eller, I hope your column on global warming was just an extreme right-wing shock article to stir up some commotion (Rush Limbaugh style), because if you actually believe in what you wrote, that’s scary. How selfish can you be to say that global warming is not a problem today? Now, I’m assuming that for […]

2006's Most Anticipated Video Games
The Chinese may call 2006 the Year of the Dog, but when it comes to video games, this is the year of the next generation of consoles. Microsoft’s decision to release their next-generation console, the XBOX 360, early in 2005 could prove to be a great mistake when Sony and Nintendo step up to the […]

Jesus, skating celebrities and Lil’ Jon are all part of the new string of shows on the small screen, as television tries out its new batch of shows. The old stand-bys, such as “American Idol,” “The OC” and “Lost” have all returned, and some fan favorites such as “Arrested Development” and “Alias” have been cancelled. […]

Don't go there – No really, don't
Janice Edman Relationship experts argue that the backbone of every relationship is a healthy compromise between the two partners. In fact, compromise is necessary in nearly every situation a couple will face, from the little things like what movie to rent, to the big questions, like where to spend holidays. In an article entitled “Compromise […]

Give a little, get a little
Daniel Gingras Picture the noble goddess of justice and her golden scale, with its plates teetering back and forth in search of balance, when suddenly the lights dim and her white toga slips to the floor, revealing a g-string and pasties barely big enough to cover her areolas. It’s no longer “crime” with “punishment” that […]

The Others
Bradford Applin Sunday night I was still trying to comprehend the significance of the NFL conference championship games. Was the fact that the Seahawks were going to the Super Bowl a sign that fire and brimstone would soon rain from the sky? Was the name Jake permanently disgraced by Jake Plummer and Jake Delhomme in […]
