ACCESSORIZE FOR THE HOLIDAYS
TO THE EDITOR
You won’t want to miss
mate sexual expression so badly needed
within a repressed society that still needlessly
equates sex with evil. Perhaps EW, then, is
doing a community service by supplying
such images and information about where
folks might find more.
This is not to say that I don’t have a prob-
lem with sexually explicit advertising. But
it’s not the sexually explicit part I take issue
with, rather, it’s the advertising. Caruso com-
plains of the banality sex assumes within ads
yet that’s just what advertising does to every-
thing; sexy women, cherub-faced kids, and
doe-eyed puppy dogs alike. Whatever sym-
bol can be reduced to a logo, song turned into
a jingle, or body fashioned (no pun intended)
into a billboard, everything and everyone is
reduced in service to the bottom line (no pun
intended), clothed or not.
Let’s just ban advertising and make every-
thing free, including the ability to run around
naked the way nature intended.

KIDNAPPED?
New Campus Rebels (11/20 cover story)?
My idea of college is a place to learn about
the world with the intention of making deci-
sions based upon understanding. It seems that
this concept of education is being kidnapped
by the new campus conservatives to spread
their ideas and morality. I will make a point of
finding 18 people to vote against their agenda
next election.

POOR CHOICES
In response to “Nader Again,” (11/20): To
anyone who expects the Green Party to just
roll over and play dead so that a candidate
from any other party can get elected I have
only one thing to say: fagedaboutit. If you
want it so badly then do what the Republicans
did, steal it. Sure, having Bush in office for
four more years would be a disaster for
America, but then having Democrats in of-
fice would hardly be a better second choice.
In conclusion, I have a counter-suggestion
to make. Why don’t both the Democrats and
the Republicans roll over instead? Let a party
that actually represents ordinary people run
things for a while. You all had your chance
and muffed it. It isn’t the Green Party that
has the dilemma, it’s this entire country.
Especially if it has no better alternatives than
the Republican and Democratic Parties.

ALONG CAME AL-QAEDA
We Americans have absorbed the horror
of 9/11 in ways that are both mysterious and
frightening; like children looking upon a dan-
gerous fanged spider for the first time and
puzzling its evil intent. There is no doubt that
the spider’s venom is real and its nature is to
strike. The resulting anxiety has left us vul-
nerable to manipulation by those who would
use our fear of the spider to achieve their own
selfish ends. And why shouldn’t we believe
them? Look how the spider has dispatched its
unfortunate victims.
