You may Doug Carder have been "joking" but your senseless comments affect many of sophomore us. Please watch what you ridicule. Keenan Hall Sept. 21 Erica Severson junior Lewis Hall Sept. 21 A true Atnerican hero I was disappointed this past week to find that The Observer omitted the newsworthy passing of not just an American icon, but a world hero: Norman Borlaug. Borlaug, a sci­ Knovv thine enem.y entist and humanitarian from Cresco, Iowa, put his Midwest farming background to good use and focused on feeding the hungry people of the world. He helped develop new forms of wheat that enabled famine-ravaged countries like Mexico and India to feed I myself was not altogether pleased by the arguments put for­ their own population and eventually produce enough to export food to other nations. ward by Mr. Damian in his earlier letter ("The sexist church," His contributions are widely credited with helping save over one billion lives Sept. 16). Although he shares my belief that women cannot be ("Forgotten Benefactor of Humanity," 1997). He founded the World Food Prize, which ordained, he incorrectly assumes that arguments citing recognizes individuals and groups that help to eradicate famine and hunger across the "nature" or "the Church" would be effective in an increasingly world. Among his many accomplishments, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of secular environment such as Notre Dame. Freedom, a Congressional Gold Medal and a Nobel Peace Prize. Borlaug joins six others, There are two separate currents of popular thinking which including the likes of Mother Theresa, Nelson Mandela, and Martin Luther King Jr., as meet under the shade cast by this question. The first is that no the only people to have been awarded each of these distinctions. one but oneself is the authority over oneself. It is individualism It is incredible to think that, while many people dream of being doctors, police offices, gone wrong. We, as a society, perpetuate the myth that we can firefighters, or other professions, in hopes of saving or impacting lives, that Norman determine our final state in life absent any serious inquiry as to Borlaug did just that, and more. Perhaps the World Food Prize website characterized the quality of that final state. If one by some miracle does his contributions best by recalling him as, "the man who saved more lives than any inquire, radical individualism would dictate such inquiry be other person who has ever lived.'' limited to the realm of ones experiences. "No one else can tell me how to be happy." John Whitty The second current, related to the first, is that we all have "rights" which undermine any authority's attempt to direct our senior lives. While in many cases, these rights have helped liberate an off campus oppressed minority, these rights have also given rise to another Sept. 21 myth: that we can do whatever we want because we have a right to. Want something? Make up a right. In this line of think­ ing, many opponents of Mr. Damian's original letter have U-WIRE implicitly stated, in one way or another, that women have a "right" to become a priest.

Now, don't take this term the wrong Sept. 21 The Indiana way. When your mom says, "It's good that you're sensitive," she's right. It's Daily Student nice to have emotions. I wish I did. Also, don't think I want to disregard any humanity. Issues such as racism or women's rights are issues that one should be sensitive about. I'm talking about the everyday, little things that people - you and I included - get pissed about. Someone bumps into you. The bus is crowded. They were out of your favorite muffm at Starbucks. One, muffms are gay ... but not gay in the homosexual way. I have no problems with homosexuals, I love homosexuals ... but not in that way ... not that would be a problem or any- thing ... See? That sentence is the physical manifestation of the problem. No one in their right mind actually thinks a muffin can have an agenda and be homosexual, even though it is from Starbucks. The problem is that someone, somewhere, was just offended when I called his or her muffin gay. I'll do it again. Your muffin is gay. That someone is an example of the sensitive people making decisions for the rest of us. One per­ son's dissenting voice can bring down the whole lot of us.

That doesn't mean everyone needs a six-shooter on them at all times. But we do need to get our spines back and fight for what we believe in. We need to get back on the horse and show people that America still has a little Wild West in them, that we still have our balls. Or ovaries if any ladies are reading. See?
