Letter to the Editor: Death penalty morality not simple as ‘eye-for-an-eye’ mentality

Published Nov 7, 2007

I recently came across a copy of the Oct. 26 issue of the Daily Skiff in which I read an article in the Opinion section titled "Death row inmates deserve harsher execution method."I enjoy taking the time to read the Skiff in between classes and catching up on my classmates' viewpoint on current affairs.

However, in this particular issue I was disappointed in the effort put forth by one of your writers.

I understand the nature of the opinion section of the paper, and I of course respect the writers who are willing to share their opinion to so many people.

I like to use the University Recreation Center regularly to stay active, healthy and make women jealous they didn't marry David Hall at the 10-year high school reunion.Futuristic revenge fantasies aside, the weight room is a great place to muscle up for the Iditarod/World Series of Scrabble/Bear Wrasslin' Championship or whatever event you're planning to gain strength for.

Machine after machine bears likeness to a medieval torture device, just waiting to tear your muscles to shreds, only to build them up bigger and stronger than before.

It was Family Weekend when Lindsay Moore found out she had it.During a time usually reserved for catching up with parents and siblings and enjoying a football game at Amon Carter Stadium, Moore, a senior graphic design major from El Paso, noticed that a simple bump on her right elbow had turned into an open cut, with a sharp tint of red.
