Opinion Line (Jan. 23)

Scientists have uncovered remains from the earliest known massacre. It happened 10,000 years ago in what is now Kenya. We haven’t progressed very far in 10,000 years, have we?

Anyone who does not have the time to prove his legal eligibility to vote, and then personally register, clearly and unequivocally has no right to vote.

If it is legal to buy a skybox at Intrust Bank Arena and then scalp the tickets as a fundraiser, as Sen. Michael O’Donnell did, I would think a lot of area nonprofits would get interested in this scheme. So much easier than hosting fundraising events.

O’Donnell is part of the current state budget and DCF problems. It’s time for Mike to take a hike.

With liberal and conservative media both bashing Donald Trump, he must be best qualified for the job.

Trump-Palin – the Democratic Party dream ticket.

I think a Trump-Palin ticket is a grand conspiracy to get Hillary Clinton elected.

If Hillary can convince U.S. voters she is honest and trustworthy, she should be able to convince Vladimir Putin to leave Ukraine and ISIS to stop killing infidels. Maybe she is our best bet after all.

Does anyone actually believe that the Republicans would nominate any minority or female candidate?

Eight years of a failed president and his agenda, but keep blaming President Bush. If you don’t own your mistakes, then they’re not yours.

Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the Carr brothers’ sentence of death, how long will it take for this to be carried out? They have lived long enough on the taxpayers’ dime.

Of course we want to know that the Supreme Court ruled that the Carrs’ death sentences were wrongly overturned, but we sure do not need to see their attention-seeking faces in the paper yet another time.

There are an increasing number of TV and newspaper reporters who are doing their parts in promoting Overweight America. The media should not be saying that overeating is OK by putting these folks in front of the cameras.

Those unscrupulous businesspeople at “member card services” have a new trick. The phone calls look as if they are coming from a member of your household. Someone please tell me why these calls cannot be stopped.

The column about Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker was so heartwarming on a cold morning (“Personalities fused by Shocker success,” Jan. 17 Sports). Thank you, Bob Lutz, and good luck, Shockers.

Maybe next season the Kansas basketball team should skip the trip to Oklahoma State and just play the Topeka YMCA instead.
