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 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 ...
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 ...
Aspartame's Untold Story By: Rishi Mehta Issue date: 11/15/05 Section: Commentary Article Tools: Page 1 of 1 IT'S AN INGREDIENT FOUND IN OVER 5,000 CONSUMER PRODUCTS, INCLUDING GUM, DIET SODAS, CEREALS, VITAMINS, AND TABLE-TOP SWEETENERS, YET IT IS REPORTED TO CAUSE OVER 90 DIFFERENT ADVERSE HEALTH ...
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 ...
Editor, This is in response to Ben Mills' letter 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 of progressive United States policy and influence.
Editor, For New Mexico's District 1 Representative, Republican Heather Wilson, to continue to defend the case for the invasion of Iraq tells one where her priorities and loyalties lie - with the Republican Party. As we all know, we were specifi cally told that the justifi cation for unilaterally invading Iraq was that Iraq had massive amounts of weapons of mass destruction and Saddam Hussein had direct ties to the al Qaeda terrorist organization.
Editor, I'm a utility plant tech for Ford Utilities on campus. I'm also onequarter American Indian - specifi cally, Isleta Pueblo. I read the Daily Lobo almost every day, and while fl ipping through the Nov. 23 issue, I came across the section where the Daily Lobo asks people a question, then records their responses with a picture of them next to it.
Editor, In regard to Cali Garcia's letter in Monday's newspaper about politically incorrect holidays: I think this is one of the most foolish, insensitive letters I've ever read in the Daily Lobo. He must hate freedom because of his strong opposition to celebrating Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
Editor, Louis Caldera who? The name sounds familiar, but I defi nitely wouldn't recognize him if I saw him on campus. Maybe if he had an entourage of administrative offi cials and honored guests, I could deductively guess who the man in the suit is.
Editor, In last Monday's article in the Daily Lobo about the march for the petroglyphs, my opinion was placed in half of the article, and it sounded as if I was leading the show. I would just like to note that it was 10 people, including myself, from the native student organizations such as the Kiva Club, Native American Studies Indigenous Research Group and American Indian Business Association.
Editor, I was just wondering when CIRT was planning on unblocking the Facebook Web site from UNM computers. Facebook connects people through social networks at schools and is a great communication device for college students. When CIRT initially blocked Facebook a few months ago, they said it was temporary.
Editor, Following the rash of recent news reports about zealous actions to completely separate Christmas from anything funded with tax dollars, I think the time has come for us to insist that the people who advocate radically secular positions have the courage of their convictions, and follow them to their logical conclusion.
Editor, Christina Conticelli is correct about UNM's parking problems in her letter in Monday's Daily Lobo. We all know it would take cars off campus if the use of motorcycles was encouraged. But what does parking services do? It charges us $49, at my last inquiry, to register to park a motorcycle on campus to avoid a ticket.
Editor, I am somewhat safe here in the University area, pretty well impervious to the shoddy construction of subdivisions. The houses here are old and beautiful, each one unique. What are we doing here in Albuquerque, turning this place into another Phoenix? Have you seen the sprawl there? The East Coast is pretty much paved over.
Editor, I am a visiting scholar to UNM. When I came to the campus at noon last Monday, I was surprised to find that it was the second annual UNM Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium. I happened to watch a few performances, such as "Astor Piazzolla and Le Grand Tango Performance Viola and Piano Duo," and the dancing of "Trio, Jessica Trembly.
Editor, Regarding the lawsuit against KUNM, I will reserve judgment until all the facts are in, but we liberals invented the concept of a hostile work environment. We made a major point out of working for an end to religious and political discrimination, among other sorts of discrimination.
Editor, I would like to bring up a flaw with our parking regulations. Why is it that we are required to supply information about the make, model, color and license plate of our vehicles to the Parking and Transportation Services Department in order to get a parking permit, but parking services only uses that information to bill us when we are in violation of a rule? Twice this semester, I have forgotten to put my permit for the Zia Lot out on my dashboard, and both times I have been charged the $15 fine.
