Posted on: Nevada out of ‘race’ for innovation funding

Why doesn't the Star mention the other hurdle that makes Nevada ineligible for the race to the top funds: Schools MUST BE FUNDED AT 2006 LEVELS. Let's see the "No Taxes" bunch wrap their heads around that "minor detail."

But, we can make it real simple; change the law so teachers have the right to strike, and they will accept the test scores as part of their evaluation.

Posted on: Firing UNLV coach won’t change things

How many years has UNLV football tried to be "Big Time?" Obviously it has been an abysmal failure. Until the university and athletic department make a true effort to build a program, nothing will happen. They need to pull out of the MWC, and get into a smaller conference. There are plenty of "smaller Big Time" programs such as georiga Southern, Delaware, and Youngstown State, which outdraw, outplay and outclass UNLV at every turn. Until people actually want to come to UNLV and believe they will get a competitive education, we are stuck with who's left.

Posted on: Gay or straight, give couples same rights

"Is G-d some sort of inside joke?

Yes

"Do you mean, like most who use this statistic, that half of all marriages end in divorce?"

Yes

"Marriage is the foundation upon which our civil society is built. That's not even debatable."

Yes, it is.. We call it "debate" (pronounced de-bate)

"If you(Killer B) need a source for that truism, there's no point discussing any topic with you."

Typical of a poor creature backed into a corner by facts.......
