Editor, In Joe Wagner’s column, printed in Monday’s Daily Lobo, the author’s gratuitous use of the word “one” left me wondering which “one” he was talking about. Also, the author has another troubling, but expected issue: the meaning of redistribution of wealth.
Editor, No matter how long since I have had sex with anyone, no matter how horny I am, I have no right to rape anyone ever. It is far better for me never to have sex with anyone for the rest of my life than for me to force anyone to have sex with me.
Editor, As a graduate of the University of New Mexico, I feel impelled to write my feelings regarding the Bridge to Success Scholarship, whose prospective changes are being challenged by some within and outside the University community.
I do not wish to call anyone out, and will attempt to write with respect, regardless of my strong feelings. I understand that a lot of people are upset with the government and they are entitled to their opinions, but there are a couple of glaring problems in last Friday’s guest column by Damian Erasmus.
Martin Luther King once said, “All life is interrelated,” meaning that what affects some of us will eventually affect us all. Recent events regarding possible changes to the UNM Retiree Health Benefits brought this to mind.
As we discussed future plans over afternoon tea, an artist friend asked me why on earth I liked science so much. Science is hard and annoying, with years of effort often never even yielding results.
Editor, I agree with Jason Darensburg that Americans should seek out other countries to live in, I know I am. The primary reason is because of the complete infection of progressivism that has paralyzed this country.
Have you ever flirted with someone? You know — sent them winkey faces in texts, pretended to be interested in their sports, watched their favorite movie, etc. Have you ever done it with someone who lives 1,000 miles away? Or with someone you have never even met?
I can’t believe the Lobo lets such rubbish as Jason Stafford’s “‘Murican’ policies prop up the rich,” in Monday’s issue, defile its pages. It’s a hateful piece of conjecture which, as usual, quotes no facts and has no redeemable value.
The best advice I can give to my fellow UNM students right now is this: get out of the country while you still can. You’re young, smart and you’ve got the time and the energy to do it. If you attend classes at the University of New Mexico, you can probably afford it, too. Or at least your parents can. Buy yourself a passport and get out now!
There have been some recent opinions in the Daily Lobo about love, relationships, dating and other aspects of interpersonal interaction beyond friendship. I’ve agreed with some points and disagreed with others, but all in all I’ve enjoyed following the debates.
Last week I saw several patients who were suffering from anxiety. Granted, this was the week before Fall Break, and by the time this article hits the stands, perhaps the break will have calmed some people down, but anxiety is common enough that I think it worth addressing.
Editor, Many adults get rich off poisoning kids’ bodies and minds. Many churchgoers are horrified when kids kill kids and old people, but these are the same churchgoers who have no conscience against paying Uncle Sam tax dollars to kill kids and old people in other nations.
They never cease to amaze me, the thoughts of many in this country regarding socialism. Many reject it outright with scorn and derision and remain blissfully ignorant that America already has forms of socialism at work in it. When tax dollars are taken from people and spent by the government for the betterment of society, that is socialism.
Dear Lobo Colleagues, Somehow October has snuck up on us, bringing wonderfully blustery fall evenings and the anticipation of snow. As fall break ends and the semester picks up again, we would like to thank everyone for their support and encouragement during the first half of the semester.
Sun: it’s everywhere. Get used it. That might as well be the motto of the entire American southwest, especially New Mexico and Arizona. The entire region is blessed by the perfect intersection of several climatological and meteorological factors
Editor, On October 1, 2013 the United States government partially shut down. This was due to a budget dispute between the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, over the funding of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).
Oct. 1 was a big day in American health care history, the day the online insurance marketplaces opened up under the Affordable Care Act. From now until March 31, 2014, you can go online to healthcare.gov and shop for the plan that fits you best. There is a lot of information out there, I know, and I don’t mean to overload you.
Editor, On Nov. 19, Albuquerque voters will decide whether the city government should interfere with a woman’s decision to end a pregnancy. Before going to the polls, voters should ask themselves, “Is this really the government’s business?”
First off, I’d like to congratulate the Lobo football team on its 66-17 victory over NMSU. The game sold out of student tickets, which is something that hasn’t been seen in quite some time. Together, let’s make it a goal to sell out of student tickets for every sporting event.
