Political right and left are weighed down by their egos
November 1Editor, Since President Obama’s election in January 2008, there has been an epidemic that began in what is referred to as the “political right” and spread into what is referred to as the “political left.” Now the mid-term election is almost here, and it appears that this epidemic is going to play a major role in determining who will serve as Congress members the next two years. This epidemic is best known as ERROR, an acronym for either Ego Running Rampant Over Reason, or Ego Running Rampant Over Reality. A historical review informs us that the ERROR epidemic has never had a positive outcome. Robert Gardiner Community member

Cultural practice reveals dietary wisdom

Stereotyping still wrong even if you get it right
October 28Editor, I have much more pressing matters to attend to, but my disappointment in the Daily Lobo’s continual lack of editorial oversight in regards to the playful — albeit ignorant — columns of Culture Editor Chris Quintana will extend my procrastination evermore. Wednesday’s column, “It’s Not A Stereotype If You Get It,” asserts that any individual we encounter, we subconsciously label as a “fag,” “terrorist,” “jock,” whatever — but that we should assume the validity of our presumptions before delving into the interpersonal interactions that unveil these peoples’ true colors.
