• Bye-bye snail mail? Readers weigh in on saving the U.S. Postal Service

  Thu Apr 19, 2012
  • I say maybe they should stop all home/business delivery of mail. Close all post offices as they now exist, converting several into large processing centers.

• Pew survey: Americans think politicians are talking too much about religion

  • Freedom: the distance of separation between church and state.

• Porn industry to Rick Santorum: Butt out

  Fri Mar 16, 2012
  • Porn huh? How about this factoid. There is evidence that exists that connects people who are criminals with eating at McDonald's. Almost all criminals have eaten meals at McDonald's, often frequently I might add, some having started at a very young age.

• Women react to Rush's apology: Not accepted?

  Fri Mar 2, 2012
  • As a male I am shocked by the infantile comment of Rush's, but then most of his comments are rather asinine anyway. All this anger needs to be channeled somewhere constructive other than just spewing more vindictiveness like he has done in his career.

• Father Edward Flanagan, Boys Town founder, touted for sainthood

  Sat Feb 25, 2012
  • I will never forget my first encounter with "Boys Town". I was an 18 yo man hitchhiking across America in the early 70's, a little naive about somethings, but willing to learn all I could. I had gotten a ride from a man in El Paso Texas headed for California.

• What Jake and Elwood started, Illinois finishes

  Wed Feb 15, 2012
  • The work will be full-time during the demolition phase I guess. Then the work will disappear. This mall is more testimony to the 'greatness' of the free-market. Build it and they will come.

• What to do when your 5-year-old announces he's in love

  Thu Feb 9, 2012
  • This isn't as touching as some of the responses, but when I had a girlfriend in kindergarten I asked my mom a favor. I wanted to bring her to the house for milk and cookies I guess and to show her off. So I asked my mother, "Can you put on a dress and wear stockings when I come home from school?"

• Cheat on taxes? Never! Or, as much as possible

  Tue Jan 31, 2012
  • This is what got Greece in trouble, where they get gov't help, but pay nothing for it. NO TAXES. Sounds like America's future!!!

• Envoy: Rumors of plan to divide Afghanistan 'dishonor' sacrifice of 1,800 US troops

  Tue Jan 24, 2012
  • I don't think America should divide Afghanistan, but if the Afghan people want to reorganize in a different alignment then I feel we should not stand in their way. Too many countries are kept together by artificial means, with few reasons other than a military that keeps it so.

• Report: Air Force dumped remains of 274 troops in landfill
