Commentors are solely responsible for the opinions they express and the accuracy of the information they provide. Users who violate these standards may lose their privileges on TucsonSentinel.com.
Sentinel editors can't read every comment. Trolls, spammers and other troublemakers can slide under the bridge. We rely on you to help maintain a healthy conversation - more than likely, you're reading these comments before the editors.

We will not edit comments to alter their meaning or censor comments because of political content.
We will not remove comments solely because they are heartless, cruel, coarse, foolish or just plain wrong. Your disapproval can maintain a decent signal to noise ratio. Ultimately, however, self-policing is the best method.
Bottom line, don't be a jerk.

Since this is titled “Guest Opinion”, why is it in the Nation/World Section?
And, where’s the balance? All I am seeing is opinion pieces from the crybabies who didn’t get their way. Where’s an opinion piece from someone saying SCOTUS did the right thing?
Come on Sentinel, you promise us no spin…isn’t posting a flood of opinions from only one side spin?
@Bret Linden
Thanks for pointing out this commentary was misfiled. It’s in the Op section now.
We’ve posted a number of opinion pieces from people hailing the decision - from Brewer, McCain & Kyl, etc.
The majority of right-wing think tanks that churn out commentary are business-oriented, and have been mum about SB 1070, if not openly opposed to it.
@Dylan Smith
Well, fair ‘nuff. I take it from your last sentence is that you’re posting much more opposition because the supporters haven’t been as vocal.
Since you’re in a question-answering mood this morning, perhaps you can enlighten as to why comments are closed on stories relating to the money-pit street car…
@Bret Linden
I shall investigate and correct whatever’s gone wrong with the comments on that for you.
