Letters to the editor Security checks serve real purpose This letter is a response to the let ter written by Valdas Anelauskas (“University trades privacy for false security,” ODE, May 16). In his let ter, Anelauskas expresses his indig nation over having to fill out a mandatory questionnaire and show picture identification in order to be admitted to the Caravan For Democracy presentation. What Anelauskas does not un derstand is that there are people, who for sake of argument we'll call “terrorists,” whose goal is the annhilation of Israel and the Jewish people. Does the letter writer be lieve that the people requesting that he show his picture identification wished to see it for reasons other than for security? Does he read the newspaper or watch the news on television? Doesn’t he see the inno cent women and children being blown to pieces by suicide bombers? Does he think that the questionnaire was to determine which brand of deodorant he uses? The reality of the situation is that we live in a world where hi jackers fly jets into office buildings, people strap bombs onto their bod ies and walk into crowded restau rants, journalists are kidnapped and beheaded by Islamic militants and Arab terrorists enter public buses and systematically murder children. Nobody “forced” him to compro mise his “personal privacy,” as stat ed in the letter. He had a choice. You can follow the security measures at the door to the presen tation or you can turn around and go home. Deal with it. Dave Taube Eugene Intelligence, integrity make judge worth re-electing Judicial elections are an impor tant part of our democratic process. Judge David Schuman is seeking election to a full term on the Court of Appeals. He is exactly the kind of person Oregon wants and needs to serve as a judge.
