by Dustin Habermann Daily Lobo Performance artist Miranda July is aiming to achieve an effect. She will be at UNM this Wednesday and Thursday at the Arts Technology Center, on Los Lomas and at Rodey Theatre in the UNM Center for the Arts.

Can it be that even after the shock and horror of Sept. 11 has dissipated and most of Americans hearts and minds are coming back into balance that there are some people still so terrified and so blind, that they are incapable of thinking about an issue or a president with some skepticism and depth?
