Critical Thunkers

Many plays have questionable content: Censor all?

By John Saltas
POSTED // Jul 18,2012 - I graduated from Bingham High School in 1972 with embarrassing grades, a right shoulder destroyed forever thanks to a dislocation that the coaches treated with some hot cream, and a $50 scholarship to the University of Utah, where I would remain lost for the next seven years.

Paying Up

Politicians think we're stupid

By John Saltas
POSTED // Jun 27,2012 - Today, as we go to press, a few people are voting in statewide Republican primaries. Besides that few—early exit polling is revealing that today’s turnout is expected to be very low—not too many care who “represents” us

Huntsman's out; Romney's a fake

By John Saltas
POSTED // Jan 18,2012 - From the time I became eligible to vote in 1972, I have never voted for a Republican candidate for president. I was ready to break that trend this coming November had Jon Huntsman Jr. become the Republican nominee for that high office.

Romney Revealed

Soldier's question showed Mitt has no clue

By John Saltas
POSTED // Dec 14,2011 - I’ve always had a soft spot for our military veterans. I’ve always admired and feared them.

Most of our parents or relatives had served in World War II, a war to which Bingham Canyon gave up its fair share of young men who died in either Europe or the Pacific, including my cousin George Kastanis.
