crises these days because of the economy.
Overall taxes in Oregon are about in the mid-
dle of the pack nationally. If you’re worked
up about waste, fraud and abuse, the federal
budget should be your target. Don’t take it
out on defenseless Oregonians.
It costs very little to be kind to your fellow
Oregonians in need.
Please vote yes on Measure 30.

OFFER SOLUTIONS
This is a general question to those in the
Eugene/Springfield area. We all know Bush
is the white devil, corporate lackey, yada
yada. You write in to EW and moan and groan
(to the point of sounding whiny) about him,
his administration and his policies. But I
rarely see you people actually put up an idea
for a possible solution or what you might do.
“No War for Oil.” OK, how would you have
handled Saddam and gotten rid of him? “No
war in Afghanistan.” OK, how would you
have reacted to 9/11? People who do nothing
but complain waste time and print.
At rallies you hold up signs and say, “No
blood for oil” and scream about the injustice on
your megaphones. But do you ever scream
what you think should’ve been done? What
should we have done with Iraq? With
Afghanistan? With Al-Qaeda? With Saddam?
News Flash: Isolationism doesn’t work. Should
we have ignored the genocide of the Jews liv-
ing in Europe during WWII because it wasn’t
our problem? The UN is defunct. They are too
worried about PC and who they might annoy to
do anything. I’m not saying we should swing
into any given situation like John Wayne was
our commanding officer (though that would be
cool), but when there is a time for action and no
one else chooses to do so, then one must rise
up. I proudly admit I voted for Bush and plan to
in the upcoming elections.
