LETTER: Albuquerque in dire need of emergency evacuation plan

Editor, Have I missed the announcement of the emergency evacuation plan for Albuquerque due to a terrorist attack? We do not have any nuclear power plants here but the Air Force has 2,300 big nuclear warheads stored right at the cross point of the two major runways at Albuquerque Sunport and nuclear warheads are shipped in an out of here all the time.

LETTER: ASUNM's politics corrupt, biased

"They may not get it, but at least they are trying." These are the words I, Julianita Maestas, former interim ASUNM Elections Commissioner, said only two hours before I was denied confirmation by the Senate's Presidential Appointments Committee.

LETTER: Response to terrorism, war prompts questions

I ask why? I find the letters and attitudes regarding Sept. 11 and the ensuing conflict in Afghanistan increasingly amazing yet cynically familiar. They remind me of the cheap arguments and superficial polemics that graced our palettes during the Persian Gulf War.

LETTER: War doesn't make world better place

If we fail to have feelings in our reaction to the world, then we cannot condemn others for their apathy. If we refuse to acknowledge the humanity of others, we deny our own humanity. Do you want to live in a society of indifference? Indifference threatens our security.

LETTER: Lobo should be ashamed for publishing inaccurate column

Shame on you Daily Lobo! Even though they are called columns, you still have a duty to check the facts and make sure you are not publishing pulp fiction. The column of Maceo Carrillo Martinet was right about one thing: " ... let's really try to be honest about our history."

LETTER: Martinet off the mark

Maceo Carrillo Martinet's column about corruption in America should be valued only for its hilarious view of America's influence on humanity. He seems to be anti-everything but doesn't offer any explicit alternatives to the reader.

COLUMN: Capitalism key to happiness

The week before last, I wrote about the nature of self-interest; how people's actions are determined by their needs and desires. Last week, I looked at economics with simple common sense to explain how wealth can be created. This week I'd like to tie both of those together.

LETTER: Patriotism not defined by blindly supporting actions

I know that the Daily Lobo's editorial pages are generally not a forum for readers to respond to other reader's responses. However, as a human being who doesn't believe in vengeance and retribution as a means to solve violence and terror, I feel it is important to respond to letters like the one written in Friday's Daily Lobo by Felicia Solis-Selman.

COLUMN: Universities value free expression

Our nation is dealing with a number of challenging issues: the balance between personal security and liberty; the balance between the use of military power and the practice of diplomacy; the nature of sacrifice in a land of plenty; and so much more.

EDITORIAL: Never a time to kill

The execution of convicted-child killer Terry Clark, which is scheduled for Tuesday night, poses a dilemma for many in New Mexico, a state the has largely chosen to stay out of the fray when it comes to the death penalty.
