“We can no longer be the world’s policeman.” You hear this on both sides of the aisle these days, with such a supercilious and reluctant air! Really? Who asked us to be the world’s policeman in the first place?
Whether you’re so pale you’re pink like me, or you’re turquoise like a Smurf, it doesn’t matter if you love someone of the same gender or someone of the opposite; you’re entitled to the love only Hollywood can portray.

Polygamy means having more than one spouse or mate at the same time. Monogamy means having only one. They are both different forms of relationships, but they share one thing in common: they are clearly defined. But “monogamish”? What the hell does that mean?
The world has become a far more dangerous place since September 11, 2001. Since that terrible day, America’s belligerent, counter-productive foreign policy has created a firestorm of chaos and escalating conflict around the world.
Editor, We all feel morally outraged over war crimes. And dilemmas arise as to how to stop them. How do we somehow ‘punish’ just the perpetrators without perpetrating more death and destruction on innocent people ourselves?
I have a soft spot in my heart for veterans, and it isn’t just because they call me “ma’am.” There are many reasons, but one might be because it is thanks to the resilience of a military man that I even exist today.
Editor, I recently came across a column written in the Daily Lobo by guest columnist Dayona Dodd on Aug. 21 and was baffled. I cite particularly the statement “People who are not legal American citizens should not be able to vote in elections;
Editor, A letter to President Obama from an ordinary citizen who has the dream of a more peaceful world. Dear President Obama,
Hey Lobos! Hello from the Associated Students of the University of New Mexico. We hope your year has started off well and you have gotten into the college routine.
Editor, The prophet Martin Luther King, Jr. refused to castrate truth into safe generalities. The FBI hounded, harassed and persecuted him because he made truth specific. He damned the Vietnam War, nuclear weapons and the evils of U.S. imperialism and capitalism.
Editor, I am thinking of the people of Syria. I am thinking of the mother, caressing the cheek of her infant as she drifts off to sleep. I am thinking of the father, laughing as he carries his son on his shoulders.
Do Republicans understand that we live in a republic? Republicanism asserts that all citizens possess unalienable rights that cannot be voted away by the majority. Yet Republican Gov.

Though Chelsea Manning’s coming out as transgender has only been news in the past few weeks, it seems to have opened a discussion of being transgender while in the military.
Dear Dr. Peg, I went to the SHAC a few days ago about small bumps I noticed on my penis and pubic area. The person I saw said they were molluscum contagiosum and she used a liquid nitrogen spray to freeze them off. I had 5 bumps and now they have all increased in size, popped, and are starting to scab up, like she said they would.
