Illinois is the only state that does not have concealed carry. very antigun environment
pennie wessels regarding Former congressman gives backing to Bustos
"In a Jan. 9 blog entry on gaulrapp4congress.com, Gaulrapp reported that 2 days earlier Cox had introduced him at one of three campaign stops to formally announce his campaign." Yes, pulling knives out of one's back goes with the business more and more and more. John was always for single payer nationalized health insurance; I wonder if Cheri is.

Mrs. Anschutz,
Although I strongly and respectfully disagree with your comments, you are certainly entitled to them. So is Kayla, who wrote a wonderfull letter. As a parent of a SHS pom member, I have 2 questions for you.
1. Since you seem to agree so strongly with Mr. Brennan, have you ever been to a Dance team or Pom performance?
2. If you havent would you like to attend one? My family and I would like to formally invite you to the next SHS pom performance. If you choose to go you will find at the ticket desk a game ticket for you, courtesy of my wife and I. Hope to see you there.

Actually, Brennan's column was not disrespectful in the slightest. It was well-written, with thought and care. Ya'll may not like the 'idea' of what was written, but to claim that it was written 'disrespectfully' is a tad hysterical. At any rate, hopefully now that someone dared to gently question the 'artistic' bent of some of these songs/routines, more care will be taken in their choosing.

I'm sure the Guttmacher Institute that studies these issues is a completely non biased group. Even if the flock is ignoring the teaching does not mean the Church can just allow or condone it. There could be the same numbers who support women priests. It won't happen. In any event, I have said my peace. I expect it will only get worse. Look at the list of groups that are rising up against this decision.

"... Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit group that studies sexual and reproductive issues, ... reported last year that nearly all sexually active U.S. women had used birth control. That includes 98 percent of Catholic women, the study reported." Rubber meets the road -- the women are NOT cowing to the guys in skirts. Pay for it, don't pay for it -- Mr. Kida, you are bright enough to see that the politics of this issue has NOT ONE THING to do with political parties.

"being required to offer and pay for a service it deems a sin. The church is therefor an accomplice in the sin. It will not do that. " Mr. Kida, it is obvious that you posted without taking the time to read the article I linked.

No, the EEOC mandating that women be priests would be affecting the establishment of religion, and therefore, unconstitutional. Mr. Kida --you are failing to recognize that there is the Caholic Church, totally exempt, and then there are SECULAR businesses owned and run by the church -- something totally different, and those must abide by the laws governing all other businesses (more or less).
pennie wessels regarding 'Lost in time' in the library
Just my 2 cents, but for years it was forgotten and unappreciated -- sell it to those who care about it and take the money -- give your taxpayers a bit of a break on the renovations.
chris black regarding Dance team captain irked by columnist
Kayla, your 3rd paragraph aptly describes what passes for journalism today--everywhere. Sad but true.
