Biased politics affect everyoneMike Dowart claimed that Dinah Farrington was biased in her assessment of Bush's latest order. I've got news for you, Mike: everyone is biased! Your letter alone pegs you as a right-wing ideologue who attempts to make the political left look stupid. But no one in the public eye is more biased than President Bush himself. He appoints (or tries to appoint) people who have been voted out of their previous offices. Come on, Ashcroft lost the senatorial seat to someone who died two weeks before the election! He creates policies based on ideas that have no basis in reality. You can't improve schools by threatening to close them (thus causing all the neighborhood schools to become overcrowded). You can't prevent abortion by making it more difficult to get birth control. I'm sorry, but so-called abstinence education can only go so far! The bottom line is that God made sex feel good, so people will want to do it! If they can't afford birth control anymore because Planned Parenthood gets shut down, how on earth will they afford to raise a child? Sure, it would be nice if journalists did better research. But if they don't, all that happens is that we get some bad articles. When people in power don't do better research, we will all suffer. Juno Farnsworth |
