Editor, I attended the teach-in session provided as a discussion of issues by the Occupy Albuquerque movement on Wednesday afternoon in the SUB.
Editor, I’m not sure you have ever noticed, what with being American and all, but America is crazy.
Editor, I am writing in response to two items that appeared on your opinion page Oct. 7. Congratulations to Arun Anand Ahuja for the satirical column on China.
Editor, I am writing concerning the series of recent letters from Muhajir Romero, especially “Muslims should fight oppression with force,” published this Wednesday. It’s fanatics like Muhajir that give religions a bad name.
Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to disavow myself from any statements I made in the past disparaging those Muslims who are fighting against the enemies of Islam.
Editor, Another UNM football game, another loss: this one 49-7. Really? Sirs, as a decade-long resident of New Mexico, I have been watching the slowly deteriorating situation inside UNM’s Athletics Department.
Editor, This letter is in response to Monday’s opinion column “Money, War, and Religion Breed Fascism.” Arun Ahuja’s column was one of the most offensive things I have read in the Daily Lobo.
Editor, I have recently come across a few articles in the Daily Lobo in regards to the protest and removal of Chick-fil-A.
Editor, I was very excited when I came across the headline for the comedy article in Wednesday’s Daily Lobo … then very disappointed once I got three paragraphs in, to read of comics bashing the very people who come to support their acts.
Editor’s note: This letter is in reference to the letter, “UNM’s actions violate First Amendment rights” by Don McIver published in Tuesday’s issue of the Daily Lobo. Editor, I was furious to read this letter, not so much because it supported the protesters, but because Mr. McIver made some fairly thoughtless assertions about the institution of UNM and its responsibilities.
Editor, There is a movement spreading across America. People from completely different political ideologies are coming together to stop the thievery and piracy of the wealthiest 1 percent.
Editor, After a long, frustrating day, my husband asked me, “How was the graduation workshop today?” “In a nutshell, it was expensive, time-consuming and unnecessary,” I replied.
Editor, When did UNM become no better than a banana republic, hiding behind the buzzword of “safety” and lurking behind proper permits? Sure, Karen Wentworth can hide behind University policy as justification for the removal of the protesters, but weren’t the protesters camping out on University property the whole week before?
Editor, In Wednesday’s letter, “Media had no evidence al-Awlaki was a terrorist,” Muhajir Romero made several accusations about the Western media lying about al-Awlaki being a terrorist. I think Mr. Romero needs to get his facts straight.
Editor, Bill O’Reilly has said that he believes the moon is not the result of a collision of a meteor with Earth, but that it is a special creation of God.
Editor, I had an observation. The “Occupy” protesters are claiming to be against what we all can agree on.
Editor, I can’t say I was surprised that the “Occupy Albuquerque” protest was the cover story a few days ago.
Editor, CAPS, in Zimmerman Library, is a critical resource at UNM. Unfortunately, because of the recent rapid increase in student population and chronic under-funding, CAPS is having difficulty handling large numbers of students in the very small area which is located at Zimmerman Library.
Editor, For thousands of years universities and public spaces have been the natural ground for the expression and debate of philosophical and political ideas.
Editor, The picture of former UNM president F. Chris Garcia in Thursday’s paper was in exceedingly poor taste and very mean-spirited.
