Posted on: Polygamy an affront to human decency

Polygamy itself is not the problem. The problem is women and children being forced to live a lifestyle that is unhealthy and unsafe.

If consenting adults choose to have multiple sexual partners and live together, fine.

When this involves isolating children from society and forcing young girls to have sex with old men - this crosses the line. We have a duty as a society to protect the young who cannot defend themselves.

Posted on: Anti-warming proposals soft on industry

The cleanliness of the environment is beneficial to all of us - it's not some ploy by environmentalists to "shut down" anything. It's a MAJOR concern to our health and that of our children.

Clean, renewable energy is not only a good investment, but a crucially important investment and Nevada lawmakers need to start taking it seriously.

Posted on: Bush betrayed U.S. out of self-interest

Too bad it took McClellan so long to discover what those of us outside the administration figured out a long time ago. Better late than never.

Posted on: Obama’s youthful backers are naive

Ms. Olds is naive to suggest that Obama's supporters are only people under 30 - there is no way he could have had the successful campaign that he has if only "those under 30" were supporting him.

He has the support of people from all ages and races and political viewpoints, and the fact that young people are excited about him gives credence to his ability to engage people in the political process and to find common beliefs and goals among those from different backgrounds.

It's time we had a leader who commands respect and engenders trust, and who tells us the truth (the gas tax holiday WAS a gimmick, and he was the only one to admit it). These are important qualities just as crucial to the office of the presidency as experience.

Posted on: Obama unassailable on issues that matter

An error in judgment about one's pastor is much more forgivable than openly associating with a pastor who is hateful and bigoted, as McCain does.

McCain has still not renounced the endorsement of Rev. Hagee, who said that God sent Hurricane Katrina to punish "sinful" people in New Orleans, called the Catholic church "The Great Whore", and compared women to dogs, amoung other offensive, outrageous, and anti-American remarks.
