ALUMNI PRIDE



As an alumnus of the University of Louisville Brandeis School of law, I was proud of the performance of Senator Christopher Dodd, a fellow U of L law alum, in tonight's presidential debate. I thought that Senator Dodd performed very well. Although he was not allowed to speak much, he articulated his progressive views clearly and cogently in the little time afforded him. Although the odds are greatly stacked against him, I think that Senator Dodd could be a capable and inspiring president.

By the way, I was also impressed, surprisingly, by the performance of Senator Joseph Biden. In the past, Senator Biden has seemed to me like a bit of a blustering buffoon. Tonight, however, he was very stately and impressive. I also thought that the front runners--Hillary, John and Barack--all did well, although Obama did seem to stumble a bit more than I would have expected.

As an alumnus of IU Southeast, I was also proud to see the scientific faculty there publicly rebuke the claims being made by by the recently-opened Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky. While I greatly respect faith and belief, I cannot support any endeavor that attempts to teach our children to ignore established scientific truths. Unfortunately, the Creation Museum promises to be an embarrassment to our region of the country. I'm proud of the IU Southeast faculty for trying to show that there are, in fact, some educated folks in these parts.
