Letter: Men who make gay jokes are repressing their desires

Many males who yell "faggot" at me have sex with males or want to, but do not have the balls to say so.

Column: Case for nukes leaky at best

With talk of an energy crisis and Iranian weapons common these days, the issues of nuclear power and nuclear weapons are as relevant as ever.

Letter: Creationists should stop using extinct arguments

I try hard to avoid debating creationists - little good ever comes from it - but Gerardo Saenz' letter in Thursday's issue of the Daily Lobo requires at least a brief response. If Saenz wants to engage in an intellectual debate about evolution, he should avoid using creationist arguments that went extinct long ago - though perhaps he doesn't believe in extinction, an evolutionist conspiracy.

Letter: Citizens' wages are barely affected by immigrants

A common argument against Mexican immigrants is that they push down wages of American workers, especially among high school dropouts.

Letter: Religion need not rule out the possibility of evolution

This is in response to Gerardo Saenz's letter in Thursday's edition of the Daily Lobo titled, "Law of cause and effect disproves evolutionary theory," in which Saenz attempts to single-handedly disprove evolution with a couple of fallible theories.

Letter: Jesus' death was the way our debt to God was paid

This is in response to Michael Weber's letter in Wednesday's issue of the Daily Lobo titled "Churches, archaic beliefs should be thrown out" in the Opinion section.

Letter: Cause/effect law taken out of context, misused

I'm writing in response to Gerardo Saenz' letter in the Thursday edition of the Daily Lobo, in which Saenz speaks regarding Michael Weber's letter and, in it, thoroughly discusses his views on evolutionary theory and creationism.

Letter: It's pointless to impeach Republicans' puppet

Editor, Impeach George Bush? That's kind of like a sick joke. It would take longer to push the paperwork through the system than he has left in office. Most of the people who are in a position to impeach him are his sycophants. Any Republican who voted to impeach would be politically doomed, whatever the outcome.

Editorial: Variety in ASUNM slates gave good reason to vote

I'll admit it. I'm a senior, and this Wednesday was the first time I ever voted in an ASUNM election. But it was the first time it seemed like it mattered. There are 38 candidates in this election. In the past there have been two slates that differ slightly, but have similar goals.

Letter: Less freedom to choose will make U.S. similar to UK

Editor, I was amused and alarmed by Steve Durant's letter regarding America's misguided emphasis on individual freedom of choice. He is indeed the paternalistic product of a unitary, socialist government, watching us young colonial children at irresponsible play.

Letter: Law of cause and effect disproves evolution theory

Editor, This is in response to Michael Weber's rather absurd letter in Wednesday's edition of the Daily Lobo. First off, if you ask an incoherent question like his, all you should expect to receive is an incoherent answer. Also, the Bible is a spiritual book written by a spiritual being.

Letter: Scientology doesn't have solutions to real problems

The Daily Lobo's article in Tuesday's paper about Scientology on campus brought up some interesting points from a conversation I had recently.

Letter: Party Patrol infringes on rights of legal drinkers

I am writing in response to the article in Wednesday's Daily Lobo, "Panel seeks to curb underage drinkers."

Letter: Churches, archaic beliefs should be thrown out

It is interesting to see the Scientologists on campus again. Their "clearing" method is like Arthur Janov's primal therapy - memorialized by the band Tears for Fears in the 1980s. Primal therapy can cure a person of neurosis, but the Scientologists' theology looks pretty sketchy.

Letter: Canada is cruel to support slaughter of baby seals

Imagine a baby only several weeks old laying on the floor waiting for his mother to come take care of him. Imagine the terror in the baby's mind when a tall stranger carrying a large club approaches him. Then imagine the unmitigated terror the baby feels when he is being mercilessly clubbed on the head. If the baby is fortunate, he will have died quickly, but more often than not, the baby still has to bear the torture of feeling his skin being peeled from his body as he screams for mercy.

Letter: Neo-sandwich generation is product of outsourcing

With the complications of outsourced work to other parts of the world and the issue of so many undocumented migrant workers, a new generation has been created - the neo-sandwich generation.

Letter: U.S. needs less emphasis on freedom of choice

When I read about UNM students' struggles to cope with issues such as abortion, smoking, gun ownership, advocating democracy in foreign countries and so on, all of these debates are talking about freedom of choice.
