Before I left for China, Missouri House Speaker Ron Richard asked if he could bring a few committee chairs to the Globe to meet members of the editorial board.....more>>

Dave Woods: Global warming debate heats up online
Emily Robinson is disappointed in The Joplin Globe. Last week, the Globe published a letter to the editor from the former Missouri resident, and member of the Union of Concerned Scientists in Chicago, calling the editorial board on the carpet for our Oct. 20 In Our View editorial concerning America’s participation in the Copenhagen Treaty.

Jason Eberhart-Phillips, guest columnist: A mistake could have a devastating effect
It is my belief that our governor, Jay Nixon, of Missouri, is one of the very few officials who is taking very appropriate actions in starting actions to help correct one of many problems leading to the present dilemma.

Konrad Heid, guest columnist: Flying Joplin is still a good deal
Last week, my wife and I made a short return to Joplin first via Delta to K.C., then Great Lakes Airline to Joplin.

Dave Woods: Prospect of Palin appearance sparks debate
She’s been hooked with a lot of nicknames: Caribou Barbie, the Wicked Witch of Wasilla, Gov. Mooselini and more than a few names unsuitable to print in a family newspaper.

Carol Stark: Is China poised for change?
Before I left for China, a friend asked me to consider whether I thought the country could realistically be governed as a democracy.
-
Voices: Globalist fantasy
Consider the plight of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. His main ally is led by a militarily and naively inexperienced fantasizing globalist who thinks he can charm the world by appeasing Muslim terrorists and other bellicose countries such as Russia, China and North Korea.
-
Voices: Best season
High school sports have become an important part of most communities. Through these programs, our kids are suppose to learn discipline, work ethics and teamwork while they create character traits such as integrity, perseverance and honor.
-
Voices: Opera opportunity
Recently, my wife and I sat in a darkened and virtually empty movie theater at Hollywood 14 in Joplin waiting for commencement of a high definition telecast of a performance from the Metropolitan Opera in Lincoln Center in New York City.
-
Voices: Involuntary insanity
My lack of understanding must be excused. There must be some unmentioned legal technicality or significant factor to explain such an anomaly as charging a person who has imbibed alcohol in a quantity that provides a blood alcohol level “more than three times the legal limit for driving” with involuntary manslaughter.
-
Jessica Schreindl, guest columnist: Site ‘invents’ differences
A new Web site created by none other than the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, is aggressively attacking President Barack Obama’s “weak” foreign policy.
-
Marian Kelly, guest columnist: ‘Sorry’ seems to be the hardest word
I was having dinner with friends when the conversation turned to social skills. I was reminded of a man I know who has a knack for saying the wrong thing and offending people.
-
Konrad Heid, guest columnist: Sorry, there’s still no free lunch
There’s an old saying “you can’t get blood out of a turnip.” Our president obviously doesn’t adhere to this saying. Obama claims requiring everyone to have health insurance is not a tax increase; rather it is just an attempt to get folks without health insurance to pay their fair share of the costs they pass on to the present system — a fine, a fee, not a tax.

Anna Nine, guest columnist: Internship in Canada revealed many things
Two summers ago, I left the United States for the first time, traveling to France with a tour group. I was only there nine days, but it whetted my appetite for travel. I was extremely enthused when I planned an internship in Winnipeg, Manitoba, for five weeks the following summer.

Allen H. Merriam, guest columnist: oplin to celebrate NAACP centennial
This year marks the 100th anniversary of one of the nation’s largest and most influential civil rights organizations, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
-
Dave Woods: Question creates Facebook face-off online
One month ago The Joplin Globe hopped on the Facebook bandwagon. Since Sept. 4, we have managed to rack up more than 550 fans of our news, opinion, lifestyle and entertainment feed.
-
Anson Burlingame, guest columnist: Bias issues deserve public discussion
An Associated Press story in the Sept. 14 Globe discussed recent poll results showing American concerns about media bias. The concern is legitimate and deserves public discussion.
-
Duane Graham, guest columnist: America needs diversity
Among the ideas I left behind when I drifted away from conservatism was the notion that there is a pervasive liberal bias throughout mainstream news media.
-
Ann McFeatters, columnist: Major news outlets need to get message
You don’t trust us. You really don’t.
That’s the message to the media from a new poll by the Pew Research Center for People and the Press. It’s a devastating look at how little respect Americans have for mainstream newspapers and television news.

Dave Woods: ‘Talker’ gets forum screaming
It’s an ugly story that made most parents’ blood boil. On Thursday, I started posting a “Daily Talker” in the local news section of our Web site. “Talkers” are a long-loved talk radio gimmick meant to get tempers flaring, phones ringing and listeners ... well, talking.
