It was great to see an organization that is so important to me presented in a positive light and in a way that recognizes that atheists are people too. I appreciate it! — Oklahoma City Oklahoma Gazette provides an open forum for the discussion of all points of view in its Letters to the Editor […]

Corporate democracy isn’t viable
Islamic countries are even more engrossed in religious superstition than the USA, a country where flag lapel pins are more important than clean underwear and importuning for “God’s” blessings on the country conclude every speech by the President on down to city council meetings. The electoral system is stalemated in the USA by the best […]

Pants or no pants — e-fairness is needed
Under MFA, only retailers doing more than a million dollars in online revenue are expected to collect and remit sales tax. The idea that online million-dollar retailers cannot afford free software that integrates into existing accounting programs and the time it takes to print and sign checks to the states where they do business is […]

A modest proposal
These Republicans, thankfully, have made these decisions for us and have written them into law. I’m so thankful for not having to make these decisions for myself. In fact, I propose that similar laws be passed in Oklahoma to protect men’s reproductive health. How about a law that requires men to visit a sex therapist, […]

Shame, shame, Markwayne

Not our war
The Assad government is ruthless and has killed thousands of civilians, but the Obama administration said poison gas used by government forces would be the “red line” for action. A United Nations finding published by Reuters showed that poison gas was used by rebel forces, not government forces, so that line has yet to be […]

Allergy sufferers give thanks
This requirement would have necessitated a doctor’s co-pay for each appointment, ultimately leading to a massive increase in the cost of these safe, common, vital medicines. It also would have increased the number of doctor visits and thereby strained the demands on Oklahoma’s medical system. As someone who depends on cold and allergy medicine to […]

‘Tightening the noose’
Basically other states have come to their senses about pot, both medical and recreational and the associated prison reform. Once again, Oklahoma is tightening the noose on its citizens. When Oklahoma uses human incarceration as a major economic model, it is helpful to keep the private prisons and the legal system clogged with nonviolent drug […]
