LETTER: Carrasco would do well to look within before judging
January 16Colunmist 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.

COLUMN: Some cultures deserve less merit
Michael Carrasco | January 15What 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.

LETTER: Illogical 'patriotic' positions
January 15Editor, When I was a student at Highland High School, I studied Latin and had the privilege of attending several lectures by Professor Berthold. His lectures were exciting, funny, meaningful and to the point. I remember looking forward to college and UNM if my classes were to be so lively.

LETTER: Berthold's callousness is appalling, deserves protest
January 14Editor, When UNM Professor Richard Berthold enthusiastically approved the slaughter of hundreds of innocent airline passengers to destroy the Pentagon he hates so much, he showed that he has even less humanity than the terrorists who committed this heinous act.

EDITORIAL: N.M. drivers need lesson
January 7I surely won't be the first or the last to lament the sorry state of New Mexico drivers, but a brief hiatus from arguably the worst aspect of the Land of Enchantment has prompted me to speak up.
