• When my friends seem depressed, I care, I worry and I but in.

  Today’s Wichita Eagle’s opinion are interesting.

  “America does not need immigration ‘reform.” It needs immigration reversal.”

  (JRM Comment: Shall we reverse it back to the year 1620?)

  “If women want to be on the front line of combat, all women should be in the next draft as well.”

  (JRM Comment: Not all women want to be in the military, and not all military women necessarily want to be in combat. When we actually had a draft, not all eligible men wanted to be in the military, and not all male military draftees wanted to be in combat.”)

  “It’s hard to see the necessity to be able to record five TV programs at once when I can’t find one program to watch.”

  (JRM Comment: Who claims it is necessary, rather than just being possible? But it is possible to record five different programs simultaneous, even if the person who wrote this poorly expressed opinion can’t find one show that he/she is interested in watching.)

  The caption to one opinion reads as follows: “Immigration action leaving Kobach behind.

  (JRM Comment: This is wonderful. Not only do I think Kobach is A behind, I’m happy to think his ideas are being left behind.)

  “What would Sgt. Carter say to Gomer Pyle about Pyle’s recent marriage to the man friend in Seattle?”

  (JRM Comment: Carter and Pyle are fictional characters, and I doubt the subject would have come up on the sitcom, Gomer Pyle, USMC, that aired from September of 1964 to May of 1969. Frank Sutton (Sgt. Carter) died at age 50 I 1973. We can’t ask him what he thought.; especially since Jim Neighbors and his partner have been together for 38 years, and Carter has been dead 39 years. Perhaps we can intuit what the person who wrote this opinion things about the matter.)

  The Kansas Supreme Court has ruled that exotic dancers are employees of the club(s) where they work, not independent entertainment contractors.
