What’s more, nowhere in the commercial did Snickers depict two gay men kissing, only to be subsequent victims to a straight man’s homophobic rage. In fact, in their misguided (though hilarious) attempt to erase a chocolate-caramel-peanut-inspired lip-lock, two straight men became victims of their own homophobic rage. If that is not a clever way to suggest that homophobia is counterproductive and pointless, I’m not sure what...

Congress should study the President's proposal hard. Without a vastly superior plan, we are sending only more American targets. Mitchell J. Fine El Dorado Hills, California...
