Curanderismo class confuses medicine and religion

Editor, So a student wants to take a so-called “alternative medicine” course (known as “Traditional Medicine Without Borders: Curanderismo in the Southwest and Mexico”) through UNM, so he or she can learn how to keep the “evil eye” away from his or her child? Driving away evil is more rightly considered a religious, spiritual concern, not a medical concern.

Opinion

Anti-mosque demonstrators bolster terrorist recruitment

Editor, I have always had an insatiable curiosity. Today, that insatiable curiosity prompts me to ask this question: Is it possible that the people in this country who demonstrate against constructing an Islamic building near the World Trade Center site and/or commit violent acts aimed at impeding construction of the building are unaware that their actions are being used by Al-Qaeda and the Taliban as conclusive proof that Christians in this country are an enemy force that must be opposed at all costs?

Opinion

New Mexico's university system needs rethinking

Editor, It is high time to de-politicize our regents’ appointment. A statewide, nonpartisan election, with staggered terms, will bring out some of our best scientists, academicians and business and economics leaders.

Opinion

Change in Oval Office doesn’t change U.S. policies

Editor, If the last two years has taught us anything, it should be that the President of the United States does not actually run the country, set policy or enforce the rule of law, despite what we’ve been led to believe all our lives.

Opinion

Aristotle, 'logic' have no bearing on gay marriage

Editor, I saw the letter Benjamin Sanchez wrote against gay marriage in the Daily Lobo on Monday. I thought that, as a philosophy major who specializes in being unreasonable, I could take a whack at responding to it. The first problem with Sanchez’s argument is that it cites Aristotle.




The Setonian
Opinion

UNM graduation-rate expectations unrealistic

Editor, On the front page of its Mail Out edition, which I believe goes out to all incoming freshman as well as alumni, the Daily Lobo published an article about UNM’s allegedly below-par graduation rate.
