Editor, It is perhaps something of a surprise that almost none of the so-called New Atheists have anything to say about arguments for God’s existence. Instead, they tend to focus on the social effects of religion and question whether religious belief is good for society.
I confess: I love the Olympics. I’ve enjoyed the global spectacle for as long as I can remember, even though the first Games I recall were the tragedy-marred 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. One morning I turned on the TV and instead of the games, there were German policemen running around on rooftops!
Editor, This letter is in response to your article, “El Centro Leader Faces Contention,” in the Daily Lobo’s Jan. 13 issue. Being an active participant at the candidate forums, it is important that one misconception be put to rest.
Editor, State Senator William Sharer is not being forthright when he told the Daily Lobo in last Monday’s, “Gay Marriage Ban Proposed,” that he is simply trying to ban same sex marriage because, “the root of all problems in society is what I call dadlessness.”
Editors, I write in response to Monday’s article on state senator William Sharer’s proposed bill to ban gay marriage in New Mexico. Sharer said, “The root of all problems in society is what I call ‘dadlessness,’” “Marriage has been a way to put a dad in the family.
Editor, What has the world come to? In looking at the news today I came the conclusion that our world has come to a point in time that we do not deserve God’s continued grace and restraint.
Editor, I drink no booze. Booze causes car crashes which paralyze and kill thousands, including my niece Rachel. Booze causes dreadful family fights and ruined romances. Men wake up in jail cells — not remembering stabbing or shooting their close friend the night before.
Our society loves to play games. Whether it’s Lobo basketball, beer pong or Disney Scene-It, everyone loves to play a game. And if there is one thing we love more than playing games, it’s winning them.
Opinions are changing when it comes to the subject of marijuana — and New Mexico should join the short list of states that have pioneered the path to pot decriminalization. As New Mexico Sen. Jerry Ortiz y Pino (D-Albuquerque) said in the Daily Lobo last week, people who want to smoke pot are already smoking it.
Editor, Two weeks ago the UNM community was informed of changes to the Aquinas Newman Center on Las Lomas. Archbishop Sheehan informed the Dominican priests that they must be out of the Newman Center by July 1. Diocesan priests will continue the work at the Newman Center.
Do you suffer from sour burps and a burning pain under the ribcage after you eat? Do you wake up at night with a cough, or greet the day with a gnawing pit in your stomach? Do you shout, “Yes, that’s me!” at the television when the purple pill commercials come on? If so, you might have heartburn.
Editor, The spectacular failure of the Obamacare rollout has given much fuel to Republican opposition of the Democrats’ agenda and has bolstered their criticism of the Obama administration. Sadly, the greater lesson here is being lost on both parties and, no matter the outcome
Editor, Am I a gold digger? The Albuquerque Journal seems to think so. When I saw my professor with the front page of last Tuesday’s Journal, my heart stopped. The story was about UNM students using the sugar-dating site seekingarangement.com to pay for college — the same site I had once used.
Editor, I must thank Donald A. Moskowitz and his letter, “US military might keeps world powers in check,” in last Wednesday’s Daily Lobo for the nostalgic return to the family dinner table of my youth.
When asked about collaborating on music with other rappers, hip hop artist B.o.B. asks, “Would you rather have genetically modified (flavor)-less strawberries be as big as your head but ain’t got no flavor in it, or would you want a real piece of fruit?

It’s a new dawn, a new day and a new semester. And after evaluating the effort level that will need to be put into each of your classes, it is time to scan your classmates for some hotties. Ashley and I even signed up for a weightlifting class this semester.
Yay, the Holiday season is finally over — that time of the year when most Americans pretend to go along with all that “peace on earth, good will toward men” crap. What a sham. I’m annoyed that so many “good Christians” can totally ignore the teachings of Jesus Christ for eleven and a half months out of the year and then suddenly decide to care about other people for two weeks. They call it the “Christmas spirit.”
Editor, A former owner of an ice cream company is waging a campaign questioning the necessity of the Pentagon’s large-scale weapons systems, including the F-35 fighter-bomber, which has been plagued with problems yet to be resolved.
Winter in New Mexico brings a double-dry-whammy. The air in our high desert is dry to begin with, and between the cold temperatures outdoors and the heated air indoors, our poor skin suffers this time of year. You know what I mean. The scaly hands, the cracked fingers, the rough soles.
