lots of prejudices at play
[Read the article: What role did race play with white Democrats?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Gender-based preferences, whites preferring clinton, blacks preferring obama, hispanics preferring clinton: they're all prejudices to me. Focusing on white racism is just one tiny aspect of what's going, and maybe completely irrelevant. When it comes right down to it, McCain has alot to answer for, and it doesn't really matter which one gets up there. Run the right campaign, and you'll win. Its the democrat's race to lose.

Letting them play
[Read the article: Penguins survive trip to the brink]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This series has been a real joy to watch, especially since the refs have been letting them skate. Last week's 5 1/2 minute stretch without a whistle was awesome to behold. Since I don't watch hockey unless the Pens are on, I'm not sure if they're playing cleaner hockey or the refs are just not making calls, but end product is outstanding. The Red Wings often look like they're holding a skating workshop for the Pens, but its great to watch my old team hang in there.

maybe they're just Radiohead fans
[Read the article: Can I get this abstinence message in a medium?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]On the other hand, having the title of a song about desperation and fear of abandonment isn't exactly a great message have across your ass either.

Its not just climate change
[Read the article: Anti-science conservatives must be stopped]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The anti-science streak goes much, much deeper than climate change. The dismantling of EPA, the opposition to the HPV vaccine (our ONLY vaccine against a cancer), the de-listing of endangered species and the opposition to new listings against the wishes of government scientists, the attempts to identify anonymous reviewers of NIH grants who supported sexual behavior research, the active silencing of NOAA scientists.... the list goes on.
As for climate change, I suggest some of you go back to an intro biology textbook and read about the global carbon cycle, and then look up some articles in current journals about how much more carbon dioxide the planet's oceans can absorb. Or don't. You obviously don't like to hear anything that might cramp your lifestyle.
