Letter: Moral choice
This topic reminds me of the conversations about changing the name of Missouri Street in Lawrence because of Kansas-Missouri history. I think it was stemmed more from a college sports rivalry. Ergo, a self-referential child's egoic wounding.
The Polaris missile is there to commemorate a time in our history. Whether or not we can agree with the decisions and actions of their time, isn't necessarily the point. It's presence reminds us that some decisions are just tough.

Letter: Earth’s not flat
Just how many humans are necessary for us to do whatever it is we are doing?
It's time to start depicting the human growth timeline with decreasing animal populations on the same graph. There was a time people would see domesticated farm animals in the city. People rode horses in the city. Now, people complain about the neighbor's cat in their yard or a dog at the farmer's market. We have become indifferent towards the extinction of animals we do not encounter our daily lives. The human race is a success at over 7,000,000,000 people on earth. Why do we have fertility clinics? There's victims living in squalor all over the place. Adopt one should you have the [need] to be a mom. Why wait until we're dining on Solient Green?
The dichotomy between access to energy sources and a clean environment will not resolve with an ever increasing human populace.

I've been an advocate of equal taxation for years but obviously the wealthy just keep cheating us out of taxes due.

House rejects exception from abortion restrictions for rape, incest, abuse victims
Chootspa, it was a suggestion for some people to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies. Tubal ligations and vasectomies are reversable. These are merely options. Your response makes no sense to me given that this ENTIRE ARTICLE is about an aspect of family planning matters.

House rejects exception from abortion restrictions for rape, incest, abuse victims
Seems to me a lot of people could save themselves from the abortion delimma by getting a tubal ligation or vasectomy after having a kid or two. Why keep going to the Dr. and pharmacy for years? Why keep exposing your body to drugs? Why live with such risk and inconvienence?
Why keep going to Blockbuster Video to get a movie and return the movie and get a movie and return the movie when you can sign up with Netflix one time and be done?

Sweeping abortion bill approved by Kansas House committee
What's an 11 year old girl to do when her brother gets her pregnant?
What's a 12 year old girl to do when Grandpa gets her pregnant?
What's a 13 year old girl to do when her stepdad gets her pregnant?
What's a 14 year old girl do when her 34 year old Pastor gets her pregnant?
Girls, not just women, get pregnant too.

Letter: Poor showing
What do you bet close to 100% of regestered voters who own a four wheel drive vehicle, didn't vote? Ha. It's apathy, not the weather. We had until 7:00pm to vote.
You know who volunteers to tend the voting polls? LITTLE OLD LADIES!!!! THAT's RIGHT, 70+ year old women make it to the polls.
