Who’s oppressing whom?
Re: “Only two minutes?”, Letters, Nov. 1.
Tod Dickson should realize that the “brave men and women of my country’s [USA’s] armed forces” that he loves so much are guilty of torturing children, raping women, sexually degrading men before letting dogs chew off their genitals, bombing women and children from F16 and B52 planes using banned weapons like DU and cluster bombs, illegal detentions, keeping evidence from international inspectors, and according to a recent British report, causing as many as 100,000 civilian deaths.
Which brings us to the “free speech” that Dickson claims was “oppressed” by the GSU.
Americans would never allow “free speech” to support any of the so-called “forces of evil” that they hate so much.

I commend Governor Schwarzenegger for having the integrity to provide three billion dollars for stem cell research in California even though it broke with his party line. Could progressive Republicans like Schwarzenegger be the harbingers of a new era of moderate Republicanism?

“Gaytatorship”
Re: Gay marriage ban angers LGBTOUT, Nov. 4
How, exactly, is a vast majority of people voting in favor of a constitutional ban on gay marriage a “slap in the face of democracy”? Forget “majority rules” and all that; if the gays don’t get their way, it’s homophobia!
It’s clear that the current LGBTOUT leadership doesn’t really want democracy — they want a gaytatorship.
