Obama cartoon racist only to those who want to see racism
May 8Editor, It is interesting to watch the spectacle unfold in the wake of the cartoon depicting President Barack Obama as Rafiki from the movie “The Lion King.” I believe that there is more to this than may initially meet the eye of the common reader.

Is the cartoonist implying that Obama is equivalent to a chimp?

Is smoking really still cool? What about cancer, health?
May 3Editor, I read the article in the April 26 issue about the smoking ban as “tobacco totalitarianism.” While I was not surprised by people’s resistance to the ban, it baffles me that smoking is an issue for our generation.
