Miss Understanding

I do not understand how such an article as "Is Bush the Lesser of Two Evils?" passed scrutiny.

Did no one with good judgment read this article before it was published?

This article was very inflammatory and in very poor taste, especially at this time.

I do not need to understand bin Laden, but perhaps he needs to understand the good ol’ U.S. and what we stand for. Perhaps Mr. Lambright needs to go visit bin Laden so he can understand his way of thinking, and get a little more information on how terrorists get their power and support.

Perhaps if Mr. Lambright had been around when Hitler was, he could have interviewed him and convinced Hitler to change his way of thinking. Maybe he wouldn’t have murdered so many of his own countrymen, as well as so many other innocent victims.

I thought MCC was to educate our young people and prepare them to enter into our society and become responsible citizens, to help make the world a better place.

I do hope that Mr. Lambright’s opinions are not the majority of the students’ feelings.

I am a health care worker, and pay my taxes, which help to pay for others’ education. I belong to no special organizations – these words are my own opinions.

But I do want to ask Mr. Lambright who he would call on if he had a legal, medical or financial problem — BIN LADEN? Now that would be an education in reality, especially if he lived there!

Our government may not be perfect, but in all of the countries I have known, ours is the best.

That is why Mr. Lambright has the freedom, has his right, to state his very disagreeable opinion.

After all, he does have the freedom that we all enjoy by living in this great country, some of which has been curtailed at the moment.

But if he does not like it here, then he could move to Afghanistan and enjoy his life and freedom there.

Then he would really understand many things he will not learn here.
