Good morning,
   This letter is in response to "the infamous top 7 list" in Thursday's Amusement. I cannot believe that on a campus where tolerance for GBLTQ students and faculty is mediocre at best, the Amusement staff would list "sterilize the gays" as a way for President-elect Barack Obama to save the world. I realize the list is meant as a joke, but intolerance, discrimination and outright hatred is not funny nor is it an effective way to promote any sort of positive dialogue between different groups on this campus. I think the Amusement can and must find more creative and less offensive ways for Obama to save the world. If this is the type of article the Amusement is going to continue to publish, I think the last thing on earth Obama needs to do is "make Amusement its own publication again."
V/r,
