Like many students, I am appalled at the Mustang Daily – not because of Brian Eller’s column, but because of the correction that ran in Thursday’s edition. The correction, which says that Eller incorrectly quoted “The Vagina Monologues,” is false. He specifically prefaced the line, “Likewise, the play in its original form..(rape quote).” Guess what? The play in its original form does contain the line “if it was rape.it was good rape.” Check it yourself! This is a fact and Eller is 100 percent correct.
Also, many people seem to misinterpret the conservative stance on global warming. Everyone agrees the Earth has warmed, but the question is what has caused it. To assume that we’ve caused it is to make a huge mistake in terms of the economic consequences of radical environmental legislation. Even an international commission of economists deemed global warming as the worst devotion of resources possible to help the world (the Copenhagen Consensus).
It seems to me that many people who read Eller’s column selectively ignore what he is saying, or write purely based in an emotionally-charged reaction. Because of this, most letters to the editor against him are devoid of fact and rely primarily on personal attacks.
