Bombs kill the innocent, not just the fighters

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.

State Republican views regressive

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. Susana Martinez has recently called for a vote to decide if all citizens of New Mexico have to right to get married.

You can catch more flies with honey...

Editor, Although I am not inclined to give up eating meat at this time, I do appreciate what PETA2 is doing in order to raise my awareness level and educate me about the treatment of some farm animals.

Obama’s Syria threats will embroil US in war

Editor, Recently President Obama gave a speech saying that he will consult with Congress before launching a military strike against the Syrian regime. This was followed by a candid statement claiming that he does not need any lawmaker’s permission to do so.

Show balance when reporting brash charges

Editor, Regarding the Daily Lobo’s Sept. 3 coverage of activists protesting the administration’s proposed military intervention into Syria, I had a few concerns with this piece that I feel must be voiced.

Dr. Pegs Prescription

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.

Recording ethnicity can help lessen hate crimes

Editor, Thanks for reporting the hate letter on the car and the earlier writing of “Sand-N*gger” on the same victim’s door at the SRCs on campus in last Wednesday’s Daily Lobo, but I noticed you did not include the race/ethnicity/religion of the victim.

Take care, lest ye be crushed by the candy

Editor, If I were to tell you, dear reader, that you may carry a siren of moral turpitude and a harbinger of impending doom in your pocket, and worse yet, that you engage with its glacé contours as joyfully as you would a beloved novel or film, would you take heed?

#RelationshipStatus

“Well he has a boyfriend, but I think he is flirting with me,” I said. “Why?” my friends asked. “Because he uses smiley faces and winky faces in his texts!”

Nudity is natural and can save electricity

Editor, I love living naked at home and nearly naked elsewhere, when I am warm enough. My naked, lean, healthy, well-tanned body is my favorite suit. Living naked connects me to the earth.

Dr. Pegs Prescription

Does this sound familiar? A round, raw-looking sore on the edge of the lip, right where the lip meets the face. You have probably seen this on someone, perhaps even on yourself.

Unborn children have same human rights

A classic definition of law was given by Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century.  He defined law as: “A command of reason, promulgated by legitimate authority, for the sake of the common good.”

America’s Founders were men, not deities

Can we stop with the Founding Fathers already? In Dayona Dodd’s column “Neither party works for us” in Wednesday’s Daily Lobo, we were once again treated to a phenomenon that has become rather prominent in our nation’s political discourse: the misguided “appeal to the Founding Fathers.”

This page could be your soapbox

So it’s that time of year again, everyone: The school year begins anew, students return to their hallowed halls of learning and the opinions begin flying around on campus and in the newspaper about everything from Chelsea, formerly Bradley, Manning’s imprisonment and request for hormonal therapy to what exactly Lobo Athletics is doing with all of that money.
