COLUMN: Life is not measured by time
January 18I greet all eyes with these fresh new words for a new year. Every New Year there is this rekindling of fascination in how different human cultures monitor and relate to the passing of time.

Fraschilla's comment was a non sequitur. No one knows what he meant and he refuses to elaborate. So why must he apologize and why is his job at stake? Of course it is. If censorship continues to go as it has been, I'll expect the American government to begin constructing gas chambers and electrified fences within the next year.
One of the interesting things about American culture is how, in an attempt to label some situation, group or lifestyle as negative, sometimes American media end up promoting these circumstances and in the long run, gaining participants.
While you're thinking about possible holiday gifts, instead of looking in a catalog, you might want to take a look at a recent report from the National Cancer Institute.
As a young woman, I'm constantly aware of the risk of breast cancer. It's hard not to be. The pink ribbons, the hundreds of fundraising events each year and the startling statistics all serve as a reminder that breast cancer - despite recent gains - remains a major threat to women everywhere.
Hello students, welcome back. Education is power, and therefore, you are powerful. But there are more effective ways of achieving power than going to school, like say, going to war.
The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks drove home the responsibilities of every citizen - and brought new threats to open government.
It seems that the Daily Lobo is behind the times in its reporting of Mario Sanchez's bid for mayor of Belen. It was reported in a Belen paper last week that Mr. Sanchez was removed from the race for not having a Belen residence at the time of his application for candidacy.
I find it interesting that for once I am in complete agreement with Sen. Joe Lieberman. Having just returned from Central Asia, Lieberman made a speech at Georgetown University saying that we must assist Muslim nations in modernizing and building up to join the rest of the world community at large.
I am writing to you to ask the UNM community to please stop the Berthold Bashing. My head and heart aches for what happened on Sept. 11 of this year and for what Berthold said. I feel that he should have been reprimanded but not fired. He has paid for what he has said with a letter in his file and a restriction on what classes he can teach.
I was pleased to see the Daily Lobo's addition of Michael Carrasco to the ensemble of Daily Lobo columnists. For the first time, the Daily Lobo has a coherent conservative whose ideas do not come off as uninformed, which I say with all sincerity.
Google, my favorite search engine, calls it the "Zeitgeist," a German word for the spirit of an age, the trend of thought in a particular time.
Colunmist Michael Carrasco needs get real! For years I have worked with many other people to get the United States to address some of the huge injustices perpetrated by the Taliban. A position I would maintain comes not from "moral relativism" but from U.S. nationalism.
It is a long distance from student consumers at college and university campus stores in the United States to the wretched overseas factories indenturing sweatshop workers who produce products for the U.S. market.
What a difference a year makes. The year 2001 seemed to be the beginning of something new and exciting; the new millennium had gone into full swing (or just begun for the purists) and it seemed more appropriate to worry more about small scraps of paper than Afghanistan.
Editor, We in New York City were much disappointed with your wrist slap of Professor Richard Berthold after all we've been through. And believe me, it got press here.
Editor, Welcome back! We hope that your winter break was enjoyable. As we put the holiday season behind us, we enter into another season known as the legislative session. The 2002 legislative session begins today in Santa Fe. This year differs from many others because of the limited amount of money available.
