LeMoyne, She was Hea-Voyne.

I'm not real comfortable with the government being involved in insurance/medical care.
But, there is a way the government, and when I say government I mean Reb and Dem, they're all the same anyway-----there is a way they could get me to be more supportive.
Pass new health care legislation, etc and then put ALL federal employees on the program 1st, including senators, congressmen, judges, the president and his family, etc, let them work out the kinks for a year or two, and then make it available to the rest of the public..........Bet it would be a decent program.

Standards have been lowered

Mr. Keegan,
I read your articles with interest, agreeing with some things you write, but of course not all that you write. You write that you are 50 and white. I am 51 and white. I also was raised by parents at home, and taught by educators in the Wichita Public Schools and adults at my baptist church. I was also taught the "n" word was offensive. But that wasn't the only thing these people taught me, as I'm sure is the same case with you. My mentors taught me to not be judgemental of others and to respect all cultures. They also taught me that my thoughts on any subject might not be the correct way to see things. They also taught me to question their authority if I did not agree with their teachings, but to always use respect. They always stressed that if I encountered what I viewed as disrespect to still always respond with respect.
I won't judge Mr. Taylor, besides, I don't, and won't ever, know all of the facts, but I don't need to know, I already know that any judgement I have on this situation will be kept private.
I won't judge you either, but will make a suggestion...........
When you are finished with an article you write, read it over again, and ask yourself......
"Is this how my parents at home and nuns at school taught me to act?"

Kansas playing dodgeball

I don't need a press conference. But, I will make a few comments.......
I have 3 sons, 1 of them a freshman at KU. Whenever any of my sons has one of
those "normal young man situations", I always ask them...."When you found yourself
in this situation, did it cross your mind who would be paying for any problems?"
Once my sons realized I was not going to pay any fines or any other cost associated
with their "normal young man situations", it tended to decrease their bad decisions.
So, I ask this...to Mr. Taylor.......when you threw that punch, did you think about who
was going to pay for any damages you caused? In other words......when you went to the hospital, who did you list as the responsible financial party?
I'm sure somewhere in that hospital there is a clerk sitting at a desk getting ready to mail a billing for your treatment at the hospital.......who's that bill going to?

KU football future looks bright

We do lose a significant number of players for next year. We do gain a significant number of new recruits for next year.We do have a significant number of returning players for next year.But.......one thing we do know for sure.......our COACH will return for next year.All of us can say the names of the new players coming and speculate abouttheir potential....but don't forget the established history of this COACH.....This time next year we will be touting the accomplishments of several playersthat no one here is even considering. WHY?Because this COACH has a history of getting production where it is not expected.I can't thank Mangino enough for giving me the opportunity to look forward to thenext year's team....something I've done now for 3 years.We have a coach that has already won the "Coach of the year award" and has thepotential to win it again.I know I've typed this before, but I'm going to again and again and again.......KU FANS---Fill Memorial Stadium for the Nebraska game next season

KU hair better than 7-5

I'm already looking forward to next season ( thanks to KU players and coaches for creating this "looking forward"), with that said, take a look at the schedule next year.We will have a good chance at winning the non-con road game, and then KU FANScircle 2 games on that schedule.......home games against Iowa State and Nebraska.We MUST do our part and pack Memorial with KU fans. Do not let husker fans havea chance to buy a ticket to that game........The game with Nebraska next year willbe HUGE

Tale of two tournament shots

I would think the Davidson team would be looking back and thinking "We had plenty of time, why didn't we gofor a higher percentage 2 point shot and send the gameinto overtime?" But instead...........

Woodling: KU still playing catch-up

I would agree that the "spin doctors" at MU are taking some facts and putting a positive spin to it.But, you sir, are taking some facts and putting your ownnegative spin to it.To say that KU female athletes are "not competitive" in the Big 12 is an insult.
