Editor’s note: This column is another in a series of political pieces for the upcoming election. Last week, we invited readers to submit an approximately 650-word column to opinion@dailylobo.com (see “Kvetchers, come compose us columns” published Sept. 24.) The idea was to feature opposing viewpoints in the opinion section. Unfortunately, we have received no Republican submissions. We will continue to accept columns, and encourage writers from all political persuasions to participate.

Editor’s note: This is in response to the letter “Foreign policies based on hope leave U.S. weak,” published in the Sept. 17 issue of the Daily Lobo. In the letter, reader Allen E. Weh called for a more realistic approach than operating on hope in this country, citing our foreign policy response to the recent murders of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Libya.

_Editor’s note: This is the first in a weekly series of opinion pieces about the upcoming elections. The call for submissions in last Monday’s Daily Lobo stated there would be two parties represented each week. However, we received no Republican submissions, so this week a libertarian columnist will go solo.
We will continue to accept submissions, and encourage writers of all political persuasions to weigh in. Send your approximately 650-word column to opinion@dailylobo.com with your name and political party, if you subscribe to any one party._

Q: I just finished a two-week course of antibiotics, taking them twice a day. They wrecked my whole body, making me nauseated, giving me an upset stomach and reflux, changing my stools, and even some weirder side effects like pins-and-needles sensations on my hands and face! What can I do now to help my body get back to normalcy, and do you have tips to make any future treatment I might have to take less awful?

Raymond Plotkin was a freshman at UNM in 2009. A native of Texas, he was one of 18 freshmen accepted into the Living and Learning Community for Engineering. He planned to become a nuclear engineer, and he was very happy here. He loved living in Redondo Village and eating at La Posada. He was a friendly young man who liked his roommates and got involved in student engineering clubs and the local Hillel House. He kept in close touch with his parents and older brother in Houston. His mother Elaine said, “Raymond fell in love with UNM. He really connected with his School of Engineering advisers and did very well in school. He made good friends and was having fun. Everything was falling into place for him and the future looked bright.”

Editor’s note: This column is in response to Will Thomson’s column “‘Educators can’t survive on prestige alone,’” published in Thursday’s issue of the Daily Lobo. In his column, Thomson defends the recent teachers’ strike in Chicago and calls for the United States to make its teachers a priority rather than “some of the first on the chopping block” in hard economic times.

Last week, I had the great good fortune to attend a meditation retreat in the high country of northern New Mexico. Over the course of three days, I sat for many hours on a cushion, silently bringing my attention back to my breath over and over again, or walked slowly upon the earth, soles alert to every pebble on the path. During the breaks, I savored delicious food, wandered flower-bedecked meadows, and immersed my senses in fresh air, stars and running water. There was no phone service, no Internet connection, no television. By the end of the retreat, I felt a depth of rejuvenation and calm that still sustains me.

On Monday, 26,000 Chicago school teachers went on strike. This is the first time in more than 25 years that there has been a strike over schools in Chicago. The strike is about contract disputes between the Chicago Teachers Union and Chicago Public Schools, including disagreements about compensation and teacher evaluations based on standardized test scores.

There’s a guy we have seen a few times lately. Not the same guy, but the same essential story, and one worth telling because it is happening more often. I’ll call him Dennis.

A few months ago, an incredible amount of controversy arose after Chick-fil-A’s CEO came out against gay marriage. This controversy even led to an effort to try to push Chick-fil-A off UNM’s campus.

Julian Assange is the world’s most famous whistle-blower. The 41-year-old Australian-born journalist, activist and publisher of the infamous website WikiLeaks has been holed up at the Ecuadorian embassy in London for several weeks now, living in diplomatic limbo. The stately redbrick embassy complex located in London’s fashionable Knightsbridge district has been the scene of an incredible international standoff since Assange sought refuge there in mid-June, appealing for asylum on the grounds of political persecution.

When President Barack Obama and the Democrats take the stage in Charlotte tonight, they’ll have an opportunity to show that the only thing the Republicans “built” in Tampa was a weak procession of resentful also-rans, offering falsehoods and vague assurances against a background of family album anecdotes. Oh, and Clint Eastwood talking to a chair, because that’s what will bring job growth.

Q: I like to smoke weed sometimes to relax. But I’m applying for a job that is going to test my urine, and a friend told me I can smoke spice instead of weed and it won’t show up in my urine. Is that true?
