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.

"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.......

Posted on: Organ donors make a beautiful pledge

"I only worry that if we get national heath care, very little money will be available for good works such as this."

Way to taint an otherwise noble subject with your backhanded vitriol, JLB. You have my sympathy.

My sister lived five years, and eventually died while waiting for a lung transplant. As her guardian for the last few months of her life, I could have been bitter over the abysmal shortage of donors. Many people sign their donor card, only to be overridden by family members who, in their moment of grief, refuse to actually allow organs to be donated.

When I held my sister's hand as the life passed out of her, I decided that she could help someone else, and because of her, there are two people in Illinois who now have sight.

So, JLB's quip notwithstanding, it's important to not only sign your card, but make sure your wishes WILL be honored.

Posted on: Why the president should speak to students

"How about a tall cold frosted mug of Goombay punch, loaded with aged Jamaican rum and topped with a garnish of fresh fruit"

I'm in, and I do play Cello pan, and occasionally double tenor pan.
