Your Voice: Christians can’t disregard freedom
Regarding: The Optimist, Feb. 9, "Christians should honor the first" by Jonathan Smith, editor in chief Mr. See is right. As Christians, we should honor God's law first. I hope he wasn't suggesting, however, that we disregard the First Amendment, as it is one of the most precious laws we have to hang on to. We must be careful not to confuse ... [Read More…]
Your Voice: Clinton’s background makes him wrong candidate for U.N. relief
Regarding Mitch Holt's op-ed piece about Bill Clinton leading the tsunami relief effort: I accept the premise that there is more to William Jefferson Clinton than the sum of his sexual exploits-this is true. Like all presidents before him, his was a presidency filled with good and bad, and most reasonable people accept that idea. For the sake of ... [Read More…]

Teams could play better with more fans
Re: The Optimist, January 14 "Students should support sports" by Kyle Robarts, sports writer Thank you so much for this article. I sometimes feel like my sister and I are the only ones yelling at the boys' basketball games. And my husband, when he gets to come.

Safe sex editorial truly disappointing
I would like to take exception to the Opinion Page article, "Textbooks shouldn't abstain from safe sex." As an abstinence educator, it is my passion to educate teens about the dangers of premarital sex and the consequences of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. What I wish to take exception with is the misnomer that there can be "safe sex" ... [Read More…]
Presidential article biased, incomplete
Re: The Optimist, Nov. 5. "Four more years" by Jaci Schneider, opinion editor I enjoyed my time working on the Optimist staff.
