‘Snuffing’ out life
I get your intent, though. I’m pretty sure you’re comparing our wonderful advancements in other areas to our backward approach to abortions — we actually make the mother listen to a description of the child she and the doctor are going to kill, “even if both are unwilling.” And to do so, a transducer must […]

Limit mercury
I recently passed a billboard west of Portland Avenue on Interstate 40 advertising treatment for brain tumors. When there are enough people in Oklahoma with brain tumors to warrant a huge billboard, there must be environmental causes. Surely we can do a better job of preventing previously uncommon and deadly diseases that so many of […]

Merle’s haggard accusations
In fact, I would suggest he should have bothered to read the first five chapters of the Genesis account he is criticizing, before bothering to write into a newspaper about said criticism. Had Merle bothered to read the first five chapters of Genesis, he would have known that his entire premise is faulty, as seen […]

Regressive progressives
Rob Bennett (Letters, “Ignorance isn’t bliss,” June 29) finds fault with Oklahoma Gazette for publishing my views on various subjects. Like many liberals, he does not bother to check the facts, but rather wants to jump to conclusions that serve his purpose. I assume it is OK for the Gazette to publish many liberal viewpoints, […]

Counterpoint: GOP undermines funding
In an ideal world, tuition-free, public college education, well-funded by the government, would be the best way to create a more educated, informed citizenry. College-educated people lead healthier lives and make this country and state more prosperous through innovation and creativity. Investing in higher education is paramount for any state that wants to thrive by […]
