All right, now that they’ve all had their fun being completely belligerent to nonbelievers around the world, I think it’s time for Muslims to get over it. Just because somebody insults the founder of their religion is no reason for the world’s Muslims to call for the beheading of the satirical cartoonist who was trying […]

Thank you Russell, for saying what everyone else was thinking but afraid to say. I only have two things wrong with what you wrote in your letter to the editor “Cal Poly’s faulty e-mail system is unacceptable” dated Feb. 10, 2006. Tim Kerns inherited the Oracle Collaboration Suite (OCS) fiasco and is not directly responsible […]

Electing religious leaders to our greater society’s posts is a clear affront to the public’s personal freedoms. This truth appears to be public understanding, even among religious Americans. Even though it could be done we should not present the harbingers of our own personal beliefs into public politics where they would undoubtedly press it unfairly […]

I would just like to say thank you from those of us who read these letters to the editor for their tragic humor. I am sure that God appreciates, as I do, that he is now free from the burden of judging whether or not Morgan Elam’s beliefs are correct. You are a credit to […]

Thanks, Mustang Daily, for your article on the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) fee referendum that will take place on February 22 and 23. Even though the proposed fee increase is only $10 per quarter, it is obviously important for students to be well-informed about the consequences of voting for or against. They should know, for […]

Your letter of February 9th, while entertaining, contained several strange assertions. First, you stated that intelligent design and global warming are legal and ethical matters, not scientific ones. It would seem to me that these are qualities that we choose to give them, not ones which are intrinsic to them; the existence of electricity could […]

What you have to realize about Morgan Elam is that he never writes what he thinks. If you have read the paper in the last couple of years, you would know that Elam writes to get a rise out of people. He’ll say just about anything to stir the pot. While this is good sometimes, […]

In order to create a strawman, I would need to be arguing with you. Since this is not the case, I have built no strawmen. I wanted to point out that there are other crimes for which you can be sentenced to death in this country. I find it annoying that capital punishment proponents convienently […]

Is anyone else completely fed up to the gills about the lack of funding going to the arts? I know it sounds cliche and tired that another person is railing against the arts, but the fact is that we are a society where money gets poured into science and math while even the slow, lethargic […]

For the last week, Cal Poly students have again had to suffer thanks to the complete failure of CalPoly ITS to provide a reliable e-mail system. After a hugely expensive and wildly delayed e-mail “upgrade,” we’re right back where we started. An unreliable, slow system that often goes down for entire days. This is unacceptable. […]

Question: If you were to succeed and bring God’s laws to all, and achieve your “Christian utopia,” what then would be your purpose? I assure you, the purpose of life has less to do with gathering supporters for your cause than it does with gathering causes worthy of your support. You want to focus your […]
