It was 231 years ago today that Patrick Henry said, "Give me liberty, or give me death." Most Americans know him as a passionate defender of liberty, but did you know he was anti-empire? The title of his speech, "Should Empire or Liberty Be Sought?" gives you a clue.
Christian Beenfeldt's grandiose letter in the Daily Lobo the week before Spring Break claims the Danish cartoons denigrating the Muslim religion are an expression of free speech.
I am writing regarding Jessica Del Curto's series of articles on body image in the Daily Lobo the week before Spring Break. It would seem that the theme she's advocating was one of stasis - each installment continuously cast a bad light on anyone who went out and changed the way they looked.
UNM senior Greg Luther said after studying abroad in Granada, Spain, he returned to campus with much more drive and determination.
I credit myself on being pretty hard to impress when it comes to plot twists. Once you've seen as many action/suspense/thriller/crime movies as I have, you can see 98 percent of the standard, oh-so-shocking "Gasp - the mole is, in fact, Bruce Willis' boss" variety endings from the theater lobby.

I attended my first City Council meeting on March 6. I was eager to see government in action and all those other naive ideas.

Let me just come right out and say that I love Adam Morrison's mustache. Love it. Does it look like he has to comb it over to make it cover all of his upper lip? Of course. Does it resemble the Not-So-Very-Hungry Caterpillar? Without a doubt.
