I just had the misfortune of reading Tyler James Perry’s article dated Oct. 3, 2006, entitled “Kiss my (cigarette) butt.”
In reference to the column “DUIs 4 Eva” (May 21): First off, fairness is a relative term in relation to the judicial system. As for your example of Laura Bush’s lack of punishment in 1963, this does not come as a surprise to anyone and proves that fairness holds little weight in relation to laws.
After reading “DUIs 4-eva” (May 21) by Colleen Carroll, I have to wonder how many DUIs she has accumulated since she appears remarkably defensive on the subject. Colleen remarks that drunk driving punishments are not fair at all.
I read the “Interfaith service bothers Bloomington resident” letter (May 17) by a not surprisingly unidentified “Christian” (editor’s note: the author of the letter was Bloomington resident Scott Tibbs) who rambled on, quoting passages from that famous fictional work, the Bible.
The number one cause of disability in young people, and one of the most pervasive causes of suffering in the world is untreated mental illness.

There is a new front in the war against terror. No, I am not talking about a new cell of Muslim extremists or Christian fundamentalists. Rather, I am talking about eco-terrorists.

As the daughter of a non-denominational pastor, I have many fond memories of the more zealous brethren. Some of them were clever zealots who brightened up life with their off-kilter humor, such as my youth pastor who fried an egg on the church camp basketball court one day when the western Kansas temperature reached 105 degrees.
As a general rule, professors don’t trust their students. That’s not to say they automatically assume the worst in everyone, but most teachers would probably prefer to administer final exams in a 6-square-foot closet instead of a standard classroom, given our track record on academic integrity.
The latest Monroe Bank Art Exhibit is presenting abstract collage and multimedia art. The exhibit features artwork by Ronald O. Elkins, Gretchen Sigmund and Jeremy Bazur.

Sunday’s weather couldn’t have been better, and neither could the final game of the Hoosier baseball team’s season. IU won the last game in a dramatic fashion in a bottom-of-the-ninth inning rally. IU and Minnesota split the series overall with two wins apiece. Although it was the end of a relatively rocky season, freshman shortstop Evan Crawford thought the series was a good way to close out the year. Video: IU's final game against Minnesota (05.20.2007)
SCARBOROUGH, Maine – During World War II, the government urged Americans to plant “victory gardens,” backyard plots of fruits and vegetables that were supposed to ease reliance on the war-strained public food supply.
The excuse, “I didn’t think it mattered because the students aren’t on campus anymore,” may not be such a good one for a traffic violation in the summer.
