Editor, Dr. Sandra Penn’s letter, “Vote ‘no’ on abortion restriction measure” found in Wednesday’s Daily Lobo, is nothing more than an attempt at the continued promulgation of genocide, dressing it up in the guise of “scientific detachment.”
The late comedian Bill Hicks and I had lot in common. Among other things, we both shared a morbid fascination with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. One of Bill’s funniest stand-up routines dealt with the reactions he used to get whenever he brought up the subject:
The conflict over need-based versus merit-driven scholarships at our public university is in microcosm a reflection of the conflict between parochialism and globalism. Which side are you on?
Editor, Almost always when something new is undertaken, such as the Healthcare.gov website, there are unanticipated problems that require more time and effort than was initially scheduled. Here are two examples that occurred in my life.
We all have dreams. Whether they happen when we’re asleep at night or while we’re losing interest during class, we can’t avoid them. But is everything we dream about something we actually want?
Editor, My life has been dedicated to the practice of medicine and working to ensure the health of my community. I have been a physician since 1978, completing my residency in 1981 at Bernalillo County Medical Center, now University of New Mexico Hospital.
Editor, In his column on Monday, Joe Wagner stands courageously on his moral high ground, criticizes name calling, and declares he won’t be “bullied into compliance with… boogey-man idioms.”
Editor, For the sake of the people of Albuquerque, who deserve to know the truth about the upcoming election to ban late term abortion, let’s set the record straight.
Now it’s my turn to ask a question. Do you tell your doctor the truth about everything? When you go see a medical provider there are certain standard questions you are likely to be asked. These include questions about whether you have chronic health conditions, take medications, use tobacco, alcohol or drugs and whether and with whom you have sex.
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.
