An uphill fight
It’s difficult to see everything on a child’s plate, but I think it’s safe to say that at least 90 percent is white. The french fries are more brown or gold, but they started out as white. It does not appear that Wilson Elementary has quite gotten the hang of what constitutes a healthy lunch […]

Great times for OKC
Having been active in establishing the Alliance for Cultural Facilities in 1989, consisting of 120 members from all areas of OKC, there was lengthy discussion of improving the park along with renovation of Civic Center Music Hall. MAPS provided money for the Civic Center, but not enough for a complete makeover of the park. After […]

Trying something new for the economy
Many letter writers seem to feel they must make a derogatory comment about someone who disagrees with them. In his opening paragraph, D.W. Tiffee (“Oklahoma is not OK,” Feb. 29) claims that the Oklahoma Council on Public Affairs is “deranged” because it supports a reduction in or the elimination of state income taxes. Remarks like […]

The Clinton fiscal policies, if left in place, would have eliminated the national debt in 2009. The Bush administration […]

Babies for Rush
Then make a bill for a new law that states everyone who is anti-abortion must be drug tested and adopt one unwanted child. And the first person honored, being forced by the government to adopt, should be Rush Limbaugh. I think after a few months with an unwanted crack baby, his sanctimonious attitude will change. […]

Read the constitution
The state now picks winners and losers. If you’re an asset that can be “beneficial” to the state, then you get preferential treatment; a liability, and you’re discriminated against. Free market government at its finest. Now if you need assistance, your government will automatically disparage your reputation then attempt to deny you services while invading […]

Wrongheaded war on drugs
They last protected us like this back in 2004: That law reduced meth problems at the time and refined criminal technique to the point that meth can now be made on a Wal-Mart shelf. There isn’t much intelligence in doing it at Wal-Mart, but criminal efforts are not based in brain power but in the […]
