Dear Editor, In reading the piece about the proposed queer studies program for CSUN, if it's done,?we should expect it to include all manner of sexual deviance, not?just gays and?lesbians.?? To be a legitimate course of study, and not simply a platform for normalizing the gay lifestyle, it must include pedophilia, necrophilia, pederasty, Oedipus syndromes and some others that probably exist but are not?well known.

Dear Opinion Editor, The article in the Sundial Tuesday, Aug. 28 regarding the matador symbol losing his sword was the kind of article you read two or three times because it seems so unreal. It is astonishing to me that in our country; a country that is currently fighting two wars in the Near East, a country possessing 8,448 nuclear warheads, 12 aircraft carrier groups, 81 submarines, 201 bombers and 2.

Dear Sundial, I very much appreciated your op-ed pieces on parking. May I suggest that you do a follow-up article regarding ways to improve the situation? Each new parking space in a structure that the university has to build costs $16,000 to $18,000.

Communication student on power of words

The spell is broken by Vincent Williamson* And god said.... "Let there be light," and there was light/ At god's word the earth was spoken into existence, the power of life and death are in the words we speak, So watch your speech, the doctrine you teach, the things you preach, can make the strong grow weak, the youth hard to reach/ The shallow become deep or the deep become shallow/ We win and lose battles when words are given life, they can conceive death/ So think before you use that breath/ Our tongues are weapons and whether we want to impact lives, or make more figures, when we speak, we squeeze that trigger releasing the bullets of life and death into our target, so if you miss the mark/ A fire is sparked/ later consuming everything in it's path including you.

To the Editor: Your recent article about Social Security reform mischaracterizes the appointment of Andrew Biggs, who joins the Social Security Administration in the hopes of helping young people get back our retirement money ("Social Security future bleak with Bush's new appointment bias," May 1).

I am responding to the article "Global warming a threat to the world." It just simply seems that no one is giving terrorism or even the threat of Putin resurrecting Russia back to its Soviet self is not a major concern. But to suggest global warming is a greater threat than this? Now I care about the environment as much as the next person does, but I think the global warming movement seems to be a global alarmist movement.
