Your Turn: Posting picture inconsiderate
Feb. 20, 2008Your choice to identify and print the picture of the person who attempted suicide was not professional and a great disservice to that individual. What good does printing his name and picture do for society? His life has enough traumas without his picture and name being strung up on the front page of a newspaper. Your decision to publish excerpts of his suicide letter defies comprehension and taste.

Your Turn: Griffith claims knowledge in fields where she has no experience
Feb. 19, 2008I am glad The Post recently published a column challenging evolution; it's been a few years since we've had that debate, but I'll bite. Which articles, specifically, have you seen lately which refute God? Typically, the scientific method only aims to refute things that are falsifiable ' the claim of a creator deity is non-falsifiable and non-scientific, and therefore it would be a waste of research funding to attempt to refute God. A lot of research, however, is done studying processes like evolution (these become handy as bacteria evolve to be more resistant to different types of antibiotics, for example).

Is the applicant serious, or is this just a ploy to get zoning laws changed? Athens residents have been asking that question since it became known that someone had applied to put a strip club on Stimson Avenue, where the New-To-You Shoppe used to be.
