• I could not agree more. My son graduated from Dobson and EVIT 8 years ago and was prepared for an entry level job as an automotive tech. He went to work the day after graduation and has worked for the same company ever since. As he gained experience he has moved up in the ranks within his company and is making a comfortable wage. Although there are those who actually criticized his "lack of ambition" because he had no desire to go to college, he is happy and productive and pays his own way though life. This is what this country needs.

• look at the DNA. That isn't altered by lifestyle choice or cosmetic surgery. If the person is female then that person is female. Although I think it is unfair to have laws that restrict same sex marriage, but as we are currently living under those rules and we are a nation of laws, until the laws are changed DNA seems to be the rational means of determining of a persons true sex.

• It must be exhausting for Stamper Brown and her ilk, standing in judgement of everyone, defining morality for us all. Not that I don't appreciate her efforts but I think she should focus on running her own life and leave everyone else to do the same. I know she may be shocked to learn this but many of us are living quite moral, happy, and productive lives without her guidance.

• I mailed in my ballot for the first time and now I regret it, Not because I wasn't sure how I wanted to vote but because I will miss the process of standing in line with my fellow Americans and casting my vote in person at my neighborhood polling place. The results are the same, but next time I do it the traditional way.

• JMJ, your comment that "Women, with children, who stay in these situations perpetuate the cycle by exposing their kids to the trauma and drama." So, its the woman's fault this kind of violence continues?

• " Why do women stay with people who beat them up?" I can't speak for all women, but for me from age 18-20 I stayed because I was immature, lacked self esteem, was ashamed that I was being abused, and most of all I was afraid he would kill me if I left (he said he would). He also threatened to kill my family. When my son was born I began to grow up and realized he would eventually threatened him too. This woke me up and I finally reached out to other people, told them what I had been going through. With the help of an older sister I finally got away. The abusive boyfriend quickly moved on to another young, easily intimidated girl and left me alone. That was 35 years ago. He is now in prison for assault (second time). These guys rarely change.

• Romney is running for the office of President of the United States. Not President of the Mormon church. The quality of his "Mormonness" should be irrelevant. BTW, Reid is a pig.

• I have always wondered why medical marijuana isn't dispensed through regular pharmacies like Walgreens, CVS, etc. This is the only prescription drug I know of that has to have its own dispensary. Maybe I am totally stupid, maybe I have not read the right articles that explain this, but it makes no sense to me. As far as I know marijuana isn't physically addictive like many other controlled substances, and they don't have to have special dispensaries. Maybe someone can enlighten me?

• This is how our elected officials are wasting their time? How does this really stupid, time wasting, meaningless action benefit the state of the citizens of Arizona? It doesn't. I am embarrassed to admit I voted for any of these people.
