This is National Random Acts of Kindness week, kicked off by Valentine’s Day. Everyone is smiling, opening doors and handing out hugs and chocolates. Want to join in and do something kind?
Editor, Wow. The Lobo never fails to impress me with its lack of journalistic integrity and lousy grammar and spelling, but this time it’s personal.
I don’t know what I hate worse, people with poor grammar or people with poor grammar. You run into them all the time, too.
Sex toys don’t have to be pricey, shaped like an animal or bright purple — you have five of the best sex toys on each of your hands.
Dear Wooley, I didn’t grow up in church, but came to Christ when I was in high school.
Editor, I just heard about the sudden death of David Craven over the weekend. I don’t call him a “distinguished professor and nationally and internationally known and respected art history scholar, author and teacher.” I think of him as my friend David.
The United States government’s obsession with secrecy undermines the democratic principles it’s supposed to protect.
I don’t value disorder above all else. However, I’m feeling increasingly unconfident in our bipartisan government’s ability to make decisions for the good of us all.
Dear readers, As I am fond of saying, I worship the conversation we can create on this opinion page, but, alas, I have noticed this conversation is a bit one-sided.

“Whether it’s corn sugar or cane sugar, your body can’t tell the difference. Sugar is sugar.” This is from a commercial by the Corn Refiners Association, the people who make high fructose corn syrup.
Editor, UNM students should very carefully consider study and travel in Mexico. I still advocate study in Mexico, but only in very controlled circumstances — circumstances that will curtail UNM students’ engagement with all of the valuable experiences that were once possible in the country.
With the elections in November, I’ll do the expected thing and tell you who to vote for.
Editor, As the people of Syria continue to write history with their blood, the Western leaders stand by, playing their violins as Syria burns.
Having read for a while, I figure you’d probably write something about love in regards to next week’s Valentine’s Day. I hate Valentine’s Day. It’s a corporate day of monetizing love.
The Daily Lobo is searching for photographers, and you might just be the button-pusher we are looking for.
The bars and coffee shops near the University tend to remain busy during the semester. When I first started attending UNM, I wondered why the businesses around Central Avenue seemed so busy.
Editor, I am certain that Senator McGill is right about people performing the tasks that God gives them the ability to do, (or, as some say, “God calls them to do”) regardless of what they are paid to perform those tasks.
Readers, I don’t want to start writing so often that my friendly reminders fall upon blind eyes, so I’ll keep this week’s address pretty short.
Editor, The Huffington Post article about this starts with the following: “Someone alert the unions: Raising teacher pay will actually make for worse teachers — according to one GOP lawmaker.”
