Editor, I recently heard that some of our politicians want to make divorce illegal. It is true we have a high divorce rate, but that is not the real problem.
When I was growing up, I was taught the rule of law is necessary in a democratic society. Our teachers explained that the laws by which we choose to be governed are simply a set of rules agreed upon by the majority of our fellow citizens.
Editor, Thank you for putting the article “Raising awareness of human trafficking” on the front page. Since reading it at lunch during my busy day at the hospital, I have not been able to stop thinking about human trafficking in all forms in the state of New Mexico.
I am responding to the excellent reporting by Daily Lobo scribe Ardee Napolitano regarding the Chick-fil-A controversy. And I want to thank Rebecca Vanucci and the two other Student Union Board members who sustained a “no” vote.
While shopping at my local supermarket, I stopped by the pharmacy to measure my blood pressure. The machine told me that it was 127/75. Is this a healthy blood pressure?
Editor, Mr. Stafford has a remarkable talent for obfuscation and distortion of truth. He does an admirable job of building an entertaining and politically charged narrative.
Editor, Left unsaid in the current Chick-fil-A controversy is any mention of the appalling workload borne by chicken-processing plant workers, most of whom are undocumented immigrants.
As of Tuesday, the United States has a national debt of $16.7 trillion that is only increasing and an economy that isn’t. Last year, we spent 35 percent more than we received in revenue.
Editor, In case you haven’t heard, it’s ASUNM election season. As an undergraduate, I encourage all of my peers to make this election season different and become more involved in the election process.
Editor, It’s the mistaken and unfortunate distraction of Pauline Christianity that makes people believe they represent Christ when in fact they very much do not.
What greater pride can a nation have than that for having stood up and exercised self determination to free itself from tyranny? What better feeling can a nation feel when each July they see their flag — that red, white and blue — rise high, knowing the legacy that stands behind it?
If we could remove firearms from the citizenry, we would not have changed the fact that we do not value human life. By prohibiting drugs and abortions, we fail to get to the root of those problems.
Editor, I found it hilarious to read Caedmon Holland’s opinion on the Democratic-controlled Senate’s inability to produce a budget since 2009. Holland is unaware of how the Senate’s budget process works.
British Petroleum is arguing it’s unclear who’s to blame for the initial blast that killed 11 workers and let loose a stream of crude oil. Of course the waters are murky — they flooded them with five million barrels of oil.
Editor, And as ‘twas written, a man shalt harvest a weed plant from the closet of his single-wide abode, yea, even as ‘twas spaken unto the sons of Nehamiah
You stagger out of bed in the morning, stumble into the bathroom and settle down to business. Some time later you rouse yourself, pull some paper from the roll, and — whoa. What is that?
What exists in Washington today is that those in power are deadlocked. Unpacking that — “dead” means not functioning and “locked” means not available.
This subject isn’t exactly popular, but when children are endangered and adults are to blame, the abusive adults should be brought to justice for what they have done.
Editor, The Student Senate voted to ban “Chick-fil-A” from the SUB because it wants to make the campus more friendly for gays?
Editor, I think it’s funny to see time and time again Republicans trying to shift the blame for their failures to Democrats. The Democratic Senate hasn’t passed a budget? Ha.
