LETTER: Katz, Sanchez spew tired leftist rhetoric
November 29In response to yet two more anti-American voices that felt the need to join the chorus of disgruntled and unhappy "Americans" in the Nov. 20 Daily Lobo, I am compelled to speak. I am wondering where Mr. Avrum Katz got the idea that America is a "secular nation."

COLUMN: The world, love it or leave it
November 29A few days ago I ran into three men waiting for the bus, arguing about politics. At times the debate got hairy, and I was afraid they might start slitting throats, but alas the bus came and they were freed to sit apart from each other.

COLUMN: Alcohol poisoning a serious problem
November 28About 50 students from universities and colleges across the nation die from alcohol poisoning annually - almost one every weekend! This statistic suddenly took on a personal meaning this month when Kevin Johns, a bright, and well-respected UNM freshman, succumbed to alcohol poisoning after reportedly consuming more than 20 shots of liquor at an off-campus party.

LETTER: U. S. retaliation appropriate
November 28To Ms. Shannon Flock and others of her ilk who feel that the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were retaliation because we "stick our nose into other countries' business," may I gently remind you that our own country was assisted in its foundation because other European countries, notably France, felt it appropriate to join our fight.

LETTER: People have a right to write
November 28Many people have been writing to the Daily Lobo about their rights, which is their right and they are right to do so. I am writing not only because it is my right, but I want to address the rights that other people have been discussing.

COLUMN: Long arm of government beneficial?
November 28A lot of people today don't understand why it's so important to prosecute "victimless crimes." Don't they know that America's future hinges on punishing even the slightest deviations from the norm?
Opinion
LETTER: University degree doesn't always equal intelligence
November 28I have been in college for three and a half years, with two of those years at UNM. I've observed a great deal to dislike about college students, especially when it comes to backing up smack talk or when it comes to plain common sense.

LETTER: Student's plea: pick up your pets' poop
November 27I would like to share with you something that happened to me. I was walking around the campus, heading to the shuttle bus and walked through the grass. I got on the bus and realized that I had a leaf stuck to my shoe.

EDITORIAL: Connection, UNM rife with hypocrisy
November 27As if stealing 2,000 newspapers and refusing to admit they were wrong wasn't bad enough, the nine members of the Connection slate are now appealing their $325 slap on the wrist.

LETTER: U.S. war self-righteous
November 27I don't believe this is a war on terrorism. It can be described as retaliation for terrorist acts that have been a long time coming.

LETTER: Photo didn't tell whole story
November 26When I was walking home from campus on Nov. 14, I wondered why I could not find even one issue of that day's Daily Lobo. An off-campus search turned out to be futile as well. I didn't think about it much then, but the heated debate in more recent issues over the front-page photo of that edition explains this curiosity.

LETTER: Questioning authority the right of all in a democracy
November 26Matthew Kennicott's letter in the Nov. 15 issue of the Daily Lobo disturbed me. It seems obvious to me that American values were originally based on the ideas of freedom.

LETTER: Moderates not true Republicans
November 26I have never laughed so hard as I did while reading Louis Griego's silly letter. I would expect that kind of foolishness from a liberal, but Griego stated he once "registered with our organization" and, wait for it, "went to a couple of meetings." Oh goodness! He must be a true Republican if he went that far. All the same, let me try to speak for the group.
