In the February 19th edition of The Oswegonian, an article was published in the Opinion section titled “Academic freedom ends with Darwin.” Now that’s an interesting name for the article. No wonder I had such a problem with it. Aside from the idea that the writer of this article was trying to mix religion and science, did he even do the research? Is he even aware of what he is talking about? The very tone of the writing suggests that because scientists are trying to keep “intelligent design” out of scientific study, they are disregarding a perfectly good theory.
It is with great sadness that we write this letter. After reading The Oswegonian on October 30th, we feel that, as members of the campus and wider community, we cannot remain silent. The opinion in the piece titled “Where is Obama’s immediacy when it comes to more troops?” was entirely inappropriate.

In a period of our nation’s history when much of the news seems to be gloom and doom, it’s very positive to hear of people doing the right thing and thinking about others instead of themselves, so we thought we’d share this brief story with you from an event that occurred recently.

Usually I don’t respond to those who oppose my view unless of course they ask for it. I am taking your advice, Aaron Hammond, as you stated in your ever so flattering article, and defending my viewpoint that you deemed asinine. I love your choice of words.
To the Editor: This semester we have had the privilege of doing two work orders for SAVAC. We just felt compelled to write this so that these men and women would get the recognition that they so well deserve. We have never had a customer more appreciative in the work that we did for them, than we had from the members of SAVAC.
To The Editor, Let me start by saying I thoroughly enjoy the regular columns from Sarah Linney. They are often witty and provide a truly different perspective on how the world can see America. The article published on the 25th; however, left a lot to be desired.
It's often said that the loudest and most shrill voices will be heard in the debate and never before has that been clearer than right now. We have petulant children currently controlling the debate in this country. Petulant, tantrum-throwing children like Glenn Beck and Lori Moreth who cloud the debate with false and extremist claims in hopes of confusing and scaring those who don't know what to do.
To the Editor, It is with great anticipation that I open my copy of "The Oswegonian" every Friday to Lori Moreth's column. Her keen wit and acute sense of satire are one of the highlights of your publication. There are very few writers who can capture and parody the zeitgeist of the shameful state of far-right-wing thought in this country, and present it in a manner that one is almost forced to question whether she truly believes the silliness she presents every week.
