Sensationally transmitted dogma

Re Tristan Taormino's "The Slut Shot" [Hot Spot, August 23: What an irresponsible headline. I understand the need to sen- sationalize stories in order to grab readers' attention, but this title is really wrong. It implies that all girls are sluts and therefore need the HPV vaccine. Duh! Anyone can catch a sexually transmitted disease from just one encounter with an infected person. Please be responsible and stop spreading misinformation and feeding sexual stereotypes.

Ed Halter's "Fakes on a Plane" [August 9 was written as if what happened on 9-11 did not matter. By ridiculing the shoestring research made by concerned citizens around the world, Halter simply displayed his callousness for the victims of these atrocities and his disinterest in the truth. The Voice should jump off the sinking boat of the official 9-11 conspiracy theory if it does not wish to be seen as a bastion of U.S. Stalinism. Instead of ridiculing good Americans who are looking for the truth, the paper should seriously examine the case being presented.
