Cast not the first stone . . .
Jack Ingram -But don’t worry, glass houses are on sale at Wal-Mart. Thanks for the letters. I felt like I just took an ethics class from Dick Cheney.

When the news doesn't report the news
It seems like every time we see Paris Hilton or Anna Nicole Smith in the news, it’s the same story – they’ve broken up with another guy or they’ve gotten in a drunken brawl. The stories repeat themselves across the media and every time, we shake our heads and move on with our own lives. […]

Goth People: Get Over It
Douglas B. Bruzzone and Michael Matzke Dear Goth People, We know you’re probably crying your lame goth tears all over this letter, and we just wanted to let you know something: no one cares about you.

What's the solution?
Mr. Ingram, you are quite confused. It is keen how you bring in entirely different subjects in a feeble attempt to discredit me and my letter. Introducing discussion about attacks in Jordon is not only irrelevant in this conversation, it is an entirely new debate. You then bring in your opinion that I feel those […]
