I
would have voted against Question 6 I
am writing in regards to the Editorial in last week's Orient entitled
"Maine is not Vermont - unfortunately." This editorial, while very
well written (kudos to the author), brings forth some very controversial
statements about those who would vote against Question 6. While
I am not a Maine voter (I voted absentee in my home state), I would
have voted against Question 6. This is not because I am anti-homosexual.
It is not because I am bigoted. It is not because I am hateful.
It is most certainly not because I am a white male who is financially
comfortable. It is because I believe in the U.S. Constitution; that
document which we all (should) venerate as being the highest law
under which we live.
Nader
did not lose the election for Gore Thank
you for your insightful editorial on Nader voters and their role
in the recent election. However, as one of those narrow minded,
misguided individuals who was silly and self-serving enough to cast
my vote for the "spoiler," I thought I might perhaps add my two
cents
The
problem is not the Electoral College Last
week's opinion article by Edward Bair, in addition to many recent
comments around campus and in the media, expressed a desire to dismantle
the time-honored Electoral College. I feel compelled to use this
space to offer a different perspective on the method of electing
the President of the United States.
