- Disrespectful - Abortion - Biofuels Plant Disrespectful Boy, if you were one of those in attendance at Blackford High School on Saturday watching the boys basketball Regionals, You were treated to some great, classic, Indiana style basketball.And you would have also been as outraged and hurt as I was, at the trashing of our National Anthem by the Tippecanoe Valley student body. Right before tip off, and in front of a few thousand fans, a handful of very talented Blackford County girls were singing our National Anthem acoustically.When the final verse came, the student body of Tippecanoe all shouted "VIKINGS" loudly over the last word in the song. The entire gym seemed shocked; I know I was.

Editor, Times-Union:Now that Warsaw is going to require classes, permits and plan approval for keeping chickens, in fairness they need to do the same for dog owners.  Think of the revenue!

Editor, Times-Union:Our founders crafted a Constitution which delegated 18 specific powers to the federal government from the states.

By now we all have either heard, read or assimilated the sum and substance of Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr's report to Congress about the Clinton-Lewinsky matter. We've heard about the 11 counts he considers worthy of impeachment consideration.We've heard more than most have wanted to know about the specific acts between our president and the young intern. And, yes, we've heard yet again the president express his regret for his actions and his plea for forgiveness. For that humbling admission, President Clinton should be credited.And, being a forgiving people, most Americans will be willing to grant him that forgiveness. The president and his ardent supporters should remember that the grant of forgiveness doesn't alleviate him from the responsibility - or the punishment - he has coming for his transgressions.

- Flag Etiquette - Moral Absolutes - The Blame Game - Marathon For Leukemia Flag Etiquette Editor, Times-Union: This letter will, I fear, offend some segments of local society, and for that I apologize. Recent events involving deaths of law enforcement personnel, the "National Police Officers Day" and the deaths of school children, have all resulted in the flying of the flag of the United States at half-staff. ONLY the President of the United States may cause the flag to be displayed at half-staff over federal buildings, military camps and Navy ships. It may be flown thus for a period of mourning not to exceed 30 days for the death of one who served, or was serving at time of death, in a "national" capacity.
