Editor, I write to respond to some hasty comments by Tylor Nelson. Certainly people "[blaming] someone else for their actions" is both common and base, yet Mr. Nelson immediately contradicts himself and compounds his mistake by making personal attacks in his argument. In the same sentencein ...
Editor, Ben Mills' use of 2-year-old Defense Department talking points in his letter in Monday's Daily Lobo still doesn't excuse the lies the United States government and its corporate media are still telling us about "the New Iraq." Iraq is a theocracy, not a democracy.
Up to now, I haven't paid much attention to the worries expressed by some fundamentalist Christians about alleged efforts by "secular humanists" to "de-Christianize" the United States. Frankly, these assertions seemed a little too far "out there" for me. However, following the rash of recent news reports ...
The infamous remarks of Air Force football coach Fisher DeBerry are obviously stereotypical and not based on fact. However, in her delayed reaction to his comments, Michelle Touson revealed some personal stereotypes that are equally unacceptable. In the quoted text of coach DeBerry, he at no point limits ...
This is 262-word letter to the editor I strongly support the Governor's plans to "expel junk food for a health new year "in New Mexico schools! When I first pitched this idea to legislators in 1999 in the context of creating the New Mexico Nutrition Council with express powers to reject harmful food ...
In response to Tylor Nelson's letter on 11/22: Technically the framers made sure the people weren't responsible for electing the Executive. That's why we have the Electoral College; people like us clearly can't make the right decision. If we did choose our President based on a popular election we ...
Editor, For those UNM staff who have not had to use their new UnitedHealthcare plan, count your blessings and read your plan before you are as shocked as the rest of us who have. UnitedHealthcare plan holders must use UNM Hospital in order to qualify for the least expensive co-pay.
The recent article by Colin Donoghue places accusations of censorship on the right which are not entirely accurate. Anyone that believes the left has no voice need only look at this very paper to realize that this is false. And if one is to consider 'neo-cons' to be leftists, as I do, then it becomes ...
W. Christopher Epler 505 256 0046 UNM Staff Language: Friend or Foe? ********************************************************************** The Bush Presidency should be giving us some second thoughts about the deep function of language. Specifically, is language the means whereby we ...
Your internet poll concerning Karl Rove and Scooter Libby is horribly biased. All of the questions imply that there was wrong-doing on the part of each man, and that it had to do with leaking the identity of a CIA operative. According to the special prosecutor, Rove and Libby have done nothing to ...

by Joe Buffaloe Daily Lobo I'll admit it, I'm jealous. Last week John Bear got some hate mail for bashing Kenny Chesney's album, while I received none for supporting it. So I'd like to thank him for giving me this chance to anger my readers enough to maybe - just maybe - earn a letter of my own.
by Daniel V. Garcia Daily Lobo There are various ways to write a song. Typically, one starts with a melody and builds it up from there, or he or she writes out some lyrics and tries to make musical sense out of them. Songs are also written cooperatively when a band gets together and a member starts playing something that the other musicians respond to.
Editor If US Forces in Iraq are fighting for our freedom, why have protests been banned outside of the President's ranch? If the Pentagon says that White Phosphorous isn't a chemical WMD, why did they say White Phosphorous was a Chemical WMD when Saddam used it? If the White House says that allegations ...
by Sunnie Redhouse Daily Lobo Many Albuquerque children and families who are in need of holiday gifts will be getting help from a different source this season: the UNM Giving Tree. The Giving Tree is set up in the SUB atrium and is decorated with lights and paper ornaments.
Editor, This is in response to Ben Mills' column in Monday's Daily Lobo, "Mass media not covering positive changes in Iraq." Although I applaud his efforts to share some positive changes in Iraq, I might question the validity of some of the statistics found on the Department of Defense web site as examples ...

Editor While everyone is arguing about whether Bush lied about WMD to start a war in Iraq, no one seems to be arguing about Bush using WMD in Iraq. It has taken over a week, but the Albuquerque Journal ran a heavily censored story today about US Forces using WMD in last years attack on Fallujah. How ...
Have you ever had your bicycle stolen? If not, you might. A 1994 study of bicycle theft on college campuses in the U.S. conducted by Integrated Cycle Systems found that a four-year college student has a 53% chance of having his or her bike stolen. Twenty percent of the stolen bicycles were recovered ...
