McVeigh
Editor, Times-Union:In response to Don Kaiser's letter on April 24, Timothy McVeigh has paid and suffered? I believe he will pay in a few weeks, but I do not believe he has suffered. He has sat in prison this whole time and still has no remorse. He called those children "collateral damage." I call them victims of a deranged man. This man thinks he has done a good deed and we should be thanking or admiring him. A man who is not human cannot suffer. He has no conscience. May he burn eternally.

First 100 Days
Editor, Times-Union:George Bush's first 100 days to me are a whole lot of yap, yap, yap and more yap. I think it was you, George, who said let's give back to the people who pay the bills, like where is this big tax cut, George? Too much talk and not enough action. Cut the red tape and talk and get with it. I have been to my mailbox every day since you took office, and still no tax cut. O-yeah, George, I think it was you who said we have an energy crisis, right? If we had an energy crisis, you and Congress would cut through all the red tape or yellow tape or whatever color it is and start drilling for oil in Alaska. While we are on the oil subject, can't you and Congress triple the price of everything that is bought from the United States from OPEC countries? Show these greedy people what high prices really are. We are not only paying too much in taxes, we are paying too much at the pump. Stop talking us to death, George, and take action. After all, George, election time will be here before you know it. Hopefully your second 100 days will be better for all of us, George! Have A Nice Day.

Bad Movie
Editor, Times-Union:I have a question for parents of teenage children: "If you knew your teen was headed off to the local downtown theater to see a movie that contained assorted examples of bestiality and sodomy, would you let your son or daughter go?" If they've been to see the R-rated comedy (and I use that term in its saddest, most ironic sense) "Freddy Got Fingered," that's what they saw. I don't know which is more unbelievable - the lack of concern shown by many parents in policing the movies their teens want to see, the incredible greed and lack of judgment shown by any theater owner that is willing to peddle this kind of trash to anyone, let alone young people, or the inaction on the part of our community's citizens. There are a number of excellent Web sites available on the Internet that provide reviews of movies from a morality standpoint. I would encourage parents to check into them. I would also encourage the citizens of our area to express their outrage to the owners of any theater that chooses to promote these kinds of films. There is an eventual accountability for all of us - parents, theater owners and citizens included. If not in this world, then in the next.
