I am also religious. I believe in God, I study religious texts and I pray three times a day. I observe the Sabbath and my father is a rabbi. What’s more, I agree with you that Penn Secular Society’s poster is unnecessarily provocative. It presents a silly straw man of what it means to be religious, and it implies that we’ve never realized that some verses in our holy texts don’t jive with our modern liberal values. You probably found that as condescending as I did.

I was compelled to write this as a result of Glenn Shrum’s mischaracterization of Taglit-Birthright in his article on the free trip to Israel offered to Jewish youth (“Taglit-Birthright Israel gaining popularity” 02/23/2012). The article makes the assertion that the trip is apolitical and that it avoids certain areas in the country — the allegedly dangerous ones that make neurotic Jewish mothers queasy — for mere practical reasons. As a former participant of the trip and someone who was raised Jewish in a decidedly pro-Israel household, I do not believe this is true. The program oversimplifies a complex and sensitive issue that requires various perspectives and in-depth thought.

The question of whether or not the United States employs torture - regardless of the semantic tricks and redefinitions of the Bush administration - must be answered in the affirmative by anyone who has picked up a newspaper in the last few years.

Gore Vidal observed that "there is something in a bureaucrat that does not like poetry." I wonder if architecture joins poetry in the case of our own bureaucrats on City Council.

If the men's lacrosse team had any prayer of earning an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, Towson shot down those dreams. Eighteen times, to be exact.

Whether it be the Atlantic 10, Big 5, Sonny Hill League or Portsmouth Invitational, Mark Tyndale and Pat Calathes have always been in the same league. This upcoming year, they're hoping to make it to just one more together.
