by Joe Buffaloe Daily Lobo columnist There's a saying that the U.S. legal system is the worst in the world, except for all the rest. I can't say if I agree with this or not, because I haven't been arrested in every country in the world yet. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist - or even a UNM undergraduate - to see that our courts do stupid things from time to time.
Although many UNM students might not recognize Joshua Arellano's name, they might recognize his face, his hat or his dance moves.
Editor, My nonprofit organization, International Peace Initiatives, works with Women Can International, the nonprofit organization that Chao Sio co-founded. This letter is in support of the release of Sio, who has been arrested for being in the U.S. illegally.

UNM Police spokesman Lt. Pat Davis said the University is prepared to handle a school shooting. "Our officers are trained as first responders to any crimes of violence," he said.
Editor, I enjoyed both the cartoon and letter on Monday referring to the Bookstore employees implicated in theft as modern-day Robin Hoods. But seriously, who are those people kidding? I know the story of Robin Hood to be about a hero famous for robbing the rich to feed the poor, not an individual who took from the rich and sold to the poor.
If Bob Dylan wouldn't have been a songwriter, he would have been a serial killer. This is according to an associate of mine who believes the chameleonic Jewish kid from Minnesota's knack for imitation and a shrewdness for self-aggrandizement make him fit the profile of a sociopath.
Editor, George W. Bush asked all the nations in the world to stand up for peace at a meeting of the United Nations on Tuesday. The path to peace is not being traveled when people are labeled jihadist extremists, evil or any other term that reinforces the idea that the world is divided into two types of people - the good and the evil.
This week, Time magazine ran a cover story called "What war with Iran would look like (and how to avoid it)." Noel Pugach, a professor at UNM who teaches a course about the United States' foreign relations, said Iran poses a threat to the rest of the world, but war is unlikely.
Chao Sio, a Kenyan lecturer at UNM, did not think she was doing anything wrong until Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents arrested her on Sept. 14, said her friend and co-worker Ann Githinji.

When Albuquerque resident Pam Gentilini comes home from her job as a medical assistant at UNM Hospital, she doesn't have the luxury of kicking back on the couch for a night of mindless TV.
Editor, I can readily accept Carolyn Johnson's assertion that evolution is a belief, but the balance of her letter leaves a lot to be desired. The two fossil hoaxes she mentioned have been known to be hoaxes for a long time, and one of them - Nebraska Man - was exposed some 70 years ago.
Old photographs, a painting of a penis, a spelling bee award from elementary school and his mother's Christmas stocking are a few ornaments on the four walls of Don Schrader's apartment.
Editor, This letter is in regard to the sudden arrest and possible deportation of UNM lecturer Chao Sio of Kenya. Sio is a respected member of the staff in African-American Studies and teaches Swahili and a psychology course related to refugee well-being.
