Hetrick spins, too
October 27, 2012
Bruce Hetrick’s Oct. 22 column “Spouting off about the all-too-common art of spin” begins by offering the
reader his view on how characters in the Broadway play “The Book of Mormon” are adept at spinning falsehoods in
the guise of “helping people.” Hetrick provides spinning of his own, personally reviewing the highly irreverent
play as hilarious, pant-wetting entertainment.
MoreHow's Obama workin' for ya?
October 27, 2012
I have avoided writing about any of left-wing author Sheila Kennedy’s opinion pieces because she’s such an easy
target. However her [Oct. 22] “Elections have consequence” piece calling Republicans extremist demands a response.
MoreVote to restore balance
October 27, 2012
Three things have modulated the excesses of unfettered American capitalism since the rise of the Progressive Era in the early
20th century: labor unions, government regulations, and the progressive income tax system. It’s no coincidence that
the rise of the American middle class followed.
MoreGM, Chrysler didn't need rescue
October 27, 2012
The automobile industry did not need rescue. It did not need the government takeover. Only two badly run corporations were
in trouble.
MoreQuestion Rockport
October 20, 2012
One is left to wonder why Bill Styring [Oct. 15 Forefront] and others like him were so darned slow to engage in this issue.
MoreSports, arts not rivals
October 20, 2012
Bill Benner’s [Oct. 15] column on arts versus sports drives home the point of the misguided view that the arts and sports
are equal rivals! This column should have appeared on your front page!
MoreWhy help Democrats?
October 20, 2012
I must respectfully disagree with Mickey Maurer’s Oct. 15 commentary.
MoreMight leave the state
October 20, 2012
[Hetrick’s Oct. 8 column] was spot on. I tend Democrat but have been voting for Richard Lugar since I could vote in
1972.
MoreDisheartening response
October 20, 2012
Thank you for the [Oct. 8 Morris column] on the Senate race. Some important issues seem to be swept under the rug in this
important race.
MoreObesity battle can be won
October 20, 2012
The shocking news about obesity keeps on coming. As IBJ reported in its Oct. 8 editorial, “Residents’
health a weighty issue,” more than half of Hoosiers will be obese by 2030, costing us billions of dollars in health
care and lost productivity.
MoreStudent critiques have limited value to teachers
October 13, 2012
I see some real drawbacks to having students evaluate their teachers.
MoreArticle overlooked part-time MBAs
October 6, 2012
A [Sept. 10] article cited evidence of a drop in MBA applications as part of a nationwide trend among prominent business schools.
While the article specifically names decreases in applications to highly regarded MBA programs at Indiana University and Purdue
University, it overlooks the significant growth within part-time MBA programs like the one offered here at the IU Kelley School
of Business in downtown Indianapolis.
MoreVote for change
October 6, 2012
The recession was not caused by George W. Bush. It was caused by liberal sub-prime mortgage practices at financial institutions,
backed by government-sponsored Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac since 1993. The independent Federal Reserve System saved the banks,
but in addition to foreclosures, millions of home values are now worth less than the mortgages owed.
MoreConsumption tax would spark growth
October 6, 2012
Elections are close by and the rhetoric from all sides is heating up. Tax the rich! 47 percent of Americans do not pay income
taxes!
MoreMore credits for Denison growth
September 29, 2012
We want to thank IBJ for the [Sept. 24] profile of Denison Parking. While Denison’s partnership with the citizens
of Indianapolis was highlighted in the article, our partnership with Hal Darring and Global Parking was left unpublished.
MorePancake too thin
September 29, 2012
I know Rex Early is a loyal Republican but I was surprised of his [Sept. 1 column] support for Mourdock. While he may tell it as he sees it, he fails to understand
it is a mighty thin pancake that does not have two sides.
MoreBrainard good for Carmel
September 22, 2012
Who are you [Sept. 17 Styring column] to pretend to know what Carmel residents want?
MoreBrainard, 'cronies' should leave
September 22, 2012
While I agreed with almost every point [Styring, Sept. 17] made, there is one that I must vehemently object to—specifically
his statement that “I don’t question the mayor’s honesty or good intentions.”
MoreGoverned by profligates
September 22, 2012
Plato said, “The penalty good men pay for inattention to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.” In Carmel,
[Sept. 17 Styring column] we have chosen commerce over the constitution, the rule of man over the rule of law.
MoreGetting out the vote
September 22, 2012
In his [Aug. 27] column, Bruce Hetrick challenged us—the opinion leaders of the Indianapolis community—to do more
to encourage voter participation, and he has good reason to be concerned. According to the Indiana Civic Health Index, the
Hoosier State ranks 48th in voter turnout and 43rd in voter registration. Some might be disappointed in our ranking, but I
see this as a call to action.
MoreAppreciating White River
September 22, 2012
Both in business and at home, water is so much a part of our daily lives that we often take it for granted.
MoreTeacher preparation already changing
September 15, 2012
At the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, we agree with David Harris [Sept. 3 Forefront] that Gov. Mitch Daniels
is in an exciting position to reform teacher preparation at Purdue. Some steps have already been taken there, with the governor’s
endorsement.
MoreMore ways to fix abandoned homes
September 15, 2012
I finished reading the [Sept. 3 Forefront column] from Samuel Odle and couldn’t agree more that the abandoned homes
issue poses many challenges for the neighborhoods, residents and overall Indianapolis community. However, I felt compelled
to offer a fourth solution.
MoreDifferent conclusion
September 8, 2012
Studying the same subject, I came to a different conclusion, especially when the whole story is revealed [Kennedy column,
Aug. 27].
MoreThe 'USSR-ADA'
September 8, 2012
Thank you for [Benner’s Sept. 3] commentary on Lance Armstrong. I could not believe my ears when Travis Tygart of the
United States Anti-Doping Agency announced something of the sort of “since Lance Armstrong will not prove himself innocent,
we must find him guilty...”

You guys have some "interesting" comments to say the least. I hope you will call in and share those opinions starting June 1. I'm looking forward to having you on the air.
For those who let this information strike a nerve, remember that this is still the America that allows the freedom to achieve dreams and goals. Should you really chastise those who are given a perk on a deal that is supported by the consumer (that is until they don't like the deal anymore due to envy) or should the dream of rewards for working be looked at a little closer? I say lets stick to the deal, go to work,earn our keep, shoot for dreams, change our jobs to have that dream or shut up about others achievements ..............while we are still afforded this liberty of America !
Three Magi
Cats out of the bag. The object of the game is to get acquired. That means the company has no idea how to grow beyond a certain point. Email is a 1990s technology. I have laughed at this company since day one. Such a small bit player. If it was anywhere but here, it wouldn't be newsworthy.
Esther, Indy has passed Chicago in the local government corruption arena. Don't downgrade us. We're No. 1 in the Midwest.
