Free thoughts with the Kern clan


Letters to the Editor

Andy Sands
Regarding the Rev. Steve Kern’s Commentary “Counterpoint: Scrutinizing science” (April 13, Gazette), Rev. Kern expresses his deep desire for Oklahoma’s students to be freethinkers and use their own reasoning.

Unions are the last chance


Letters to the Editor

Jim Ammerman
Like all good water muddiers, there is a grain of truth in their arguments. Tom Furlong (Letters, “No sympathy for professor,” April 13, Gazette) credits Jimmy Carter with the beginning of the end of unions.

Irish eyes are frowning


Letters to the Editor

Jay Hubbard
I must admit I’m a trifle disgusted (I don’t even think that’s the word for it) at some of the glasses in the March 9 “By the glass” article (Jenny Coon Peterson, March 9, Gazette). As a man who’s a trifle Irish, it makes my blood (or the liquor in my blood) boil to see an improper pint — one without a handle.

‘Gaze upward’


Letters to the Editor

Ted Rider
Kevin Connolly’s letter in the April 4 Gazette (“Accept food stamps”) illustrates a different assertion than he intended. He apparently finds himself working his ass off for 60-plus hours a week.

‘Dysfunction’ junction


Letters to the Editor

Dan Biby
Fortunately, the new OSF headquarters building has been constructed to survive tornadic winds rated as a “5” on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) Scale. (For us disaster geeks, that means a sustained three-second wind gust exceeding 200 mph.) Good for them..

Letters to the Editor

Jeff Bezdek
On April 5, our city took a major step forward in developing a permanent solution for our mass transit problems. City Council members accepted the key strategic route alignment for the MAPS 3 light rail streetcar.

No sympathy for professor


Letters to the Editor

Tom Furlong
Cardigan-clad, University of Oklahoma professor Kurt Hochenauer is so predictable (Commentary, “Workers under attack,” March 30, Gazette). That’s what happens when ideological statements come to you from the Democratic National Committee fax machine in your bunker basement.

A rollback to racial integration


Letters to the Editor

Tamya Cox
At the American Civil Liberties Union, we aren’t sure if Sen. Rob Johnson’s attempt to end affirmative action in Oklahoma is a joke, or if he is truly naïve enough to believe that Senate Joint Resolution 15 will end discrimination and increase diversity in Oklahoma.

‘Quit writing like a crank’


Letters to the Editor

John R. Junger III
In response to Steve Finefrock’s “Liberals ‘blather without restraint,’” (Letters, March 30, Oklahoma Gazette):

Accept food stamps


Letters to the Editor

Kevin Connolly
A person can be intelligent and not be educated, and a person can be educated but have no intelligence.

Corn to run


Letters to the Editor

Jay Hanas
A March 10 article in the city’s daily newspaper detailing Sens. Tom Coburn and Jim Inhofe slamming the tax credits given for ethanol production to be used in gasoline (“Coburn wants to cut tax breaks on ethanol”) was predictable.

Liberals ‘blather without restraint’


Letters to the Editor

Steve Finefrock
Bill Maher and Rod Lott clearly enjoy whacking conservative, tradition-minded, Marine-supporting, patriotic flag lapel-pin-wearing Americans.

It was 20 years before Odysseus saw his home again after the first “Odyssey Dawn,” by Homer.

Questions answered from the Rev. Kern


Letters to the Editor

Steve Kern
I want to answer Glen Garcia’s letter (“Questions for Kern”) in the March 16 Oklahoma Gazette. He posed two questions to my opening remarks in the Feb. 24 debate I participated in.
