Women’s basketball ignored by media
I would like to know (I am sure with other NCAA women fans) why the men’s basketball games are so masterfully covered by all media and the women’s games hardly get any coverage by your paper or local TV stations?
Is Tennessee unimportant (even though proven to be more championship-oriented) because of their gender? Just saying.

Fairness and equality a path to destruction
We hear much today about how everything should be “fair” and “equal.” Plymouth Colony, 1620, was one of the first experiments in “fairness” and “equality” by the first colonists with disastrous results. Almost 50 percent of the colonists were dead within the first year. The colony was rescued by William Bradford, who instituted a system of what we now know as free market capitalism.
One can only wonder where the current emphasis on “fairness, equality and rights” will lead us.
