Speakout 8/23
(Opinion ~ 08/23/06)
In response to the woman who said her handicapped child lost her dental plan, I do feel sorry for her.

I've had to take care of my own teeth and I hope that this person realizes that the overall well being of a child is more important than having dental insurance...

Looking for solution to illegal immigration
(Column ~ 08/23/06)
I don't always agree with Pat Buchanan. I think that too often Buchanan is an alarmist who stirs right-wing rhetoric to an inflammatory point. At the same time, I admire his passion and his intellect. By any definition, he's a bright man and we should listen when he speaks. We may not always agree but, by golly, we should darned well listen...
