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.

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. All who know him rec
ognize that he is fair, cares about
people and seeks to do what is
best for the community. He has
worked with all branches of gov
ernment and is knowledgeable
about the law.
Importantly, he is a man of the
highest integrity. He brings to his
work energy, intelligence and re
spect for all people. Vote to retain
Judge Schuman.
