USITE:

I'm at USITE Reg listening to a two people brainstorming on a letter (originally spelled lterr-- pirate letter!) to the Maroon about Bush's State of the Union for a class. Their insight for the day-- "the AIDS epidemic is as important as the stuff that is happening in Baghdad." Says who? Clearly not Bush. It's all a matter of personal opinon. To the mother whose son died in Iraq, the war on terrorism is more important that the AIDS pandemic; to the black man on the DL, AIDS is probably more important. It's all way too simplified, and while I think Bush should be spending way more money on controlling the AIDS pandemic, I don't think that the letter to the editor will actually be an insightful look into reasons supporting this view.

Insightful? The Maroon? Right.
