By default, it looks like the Green Party guy won debate
I just watched the debate for governor, and I sure hope everyone was paying attention. Gov. Doug Ducey deflected, danced and made double-speak again and again. Even after Ted Simmons asked him to clarify a statement, he jived the jive and spewed out the double-speak.
I wouldn’t buy a vacuum cleaner from the guy.
David Garcia is obviously smart and well educated, but couldn’t seem to talk about any issue other than education and the lack of DPS patrols overnight.
He was spun up so badly at times I was expecting a school nurse to run out and dose him with Valium and give him a cookie.
Poor Angel Torres, probably the best suited for the office in decades.
The lingering ache of sexual assault is felt even 70 years later
When I was 5 years old, a neighbor boy, who was a teenager, started being nice to me. After several months, I followed him into the basement of his house, and entered a small bathroom with only a toilet and sink. Waiting there were three other teenage boys. What followed was my first experience with sex.
Do I remember every detail? Yes! Can I tell you the first and last name of every one of the boys? Yes!
My trust in the world was destroyed. I was so ashamed. My attackers told me that it was my fault and that I could tell no one. Fifty years later I shared this secret with my therapist. She encouraged me to confront my attacker. I did. He denied that it happened.
Sexual assault leaves such deep wounds in the victim. It is now 70 years later and I ache as I write this letter.
Thank you, Laurie Roberts, for your column on Scottsdale’s Prop 420. Three council members and the mayor cannot understand that a large majority of Scottsdale’s citizens do not want Desert Edge on the preserve or for that matter anywhere in Scottsdale!
Please vote yes on Prop 420!
Why can’t we teach intelligent design in Arizona’s public schools
The article on the state’s science standards is a good example of why many of us have lost confidence in public education for our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

❚ only science should be taught in publicschool science classes with no recognition that the science could be incomplete or possibly wrong.
We remember Ptolemy who died in year 170 A.D. who established that the earth was the center of the universe only to be corrected by Copernicus in year 1543 A.D. that the earth revolved around the sun.
I have no problem with the theory of intelligent design being consistent with the theory of evolution and believe that both should be taught in the public schools. I expect that eventually the Supreme Court decisions on this subject will join Dred Scott and Separate but Equal. I will change my mind when the evolutionists explain the source of male and female.
I’m still waiting for word from science on the origins of first life
It appears the concept of evolution is not entirely dead, judging from the support appearing in recent editions of
With all the information on evolution that appears from time to time, I have never once seen an explanation for the first life that started the whole process. Even Charles Darwin was in the dark. How did it start, where did it come from? I’m still waiting.
