In response to Tylor Nelson's letter on 11/22: Technically the framers made sure the people weren't responsible for electing the Executive. That's why we have the Electoral College; people like us clearly can't make the right decision. If we did choose our President based on a popular election we ...

Up to now, I haven't paid much attention to the worries expressed by some fundamentalist Christians about alleged efforts by "secular humanists" to "de-Christianize" the United States. Frankly, these assertions seemed a little too far "out there" for me. However, following the rash of recent news reports ...
Discrimination at UNM Discrimination can take many different forms, but there is no question every form is damaging. Especially when a Public University is perpetrating it. I am amazed at the level of incompetence in the administration of UNM's Nursing program, and the lack of oversight by UNM's ...
Editor, I am writing in response to a letter that appeared in Monday's Daily Lobo. Ben Mills claimed the media is biased, since it has not reported the positive influences from the invasion of Iraq, such as schools being built and policemen being trained.
Editor Ben Mills 2 year old DOD talking points still don't excuse the lies the US Government and its Corporate Media are still telling us about the New Iraq. Iraq is a T-H-E-O-C-R-A-C-Y, not a D-E-M-O-C-R-A-C-Y. This so called War on Terror seems a lot more like a War on Freedom. The naive Peace ...
Your social security number is essentially your identity. Identity-theft has climbed over the past years causing an outbreak of stringent precautions on behalf of credit card companies, banks, and individuals. Why is it then that UNM insists on using cocial secuity numbers as student ID numbers? The ...

Editor, I was just wondering when CIRT was planning on unblocking the Facebook website from UNM computers. The Facebook connects people through social networks at schools and is a great communication device for college students. When CIRT initially blocked the Facebook a few MONTHS ago, they ...
Editor, I read an article in Friday's issue entitled U.S, Terrorism not covered by mainstream media that accused the armed forces of being, "a terrorist organization commanded by the world's No. 1 terrorist, George Bush." I am often shocked by a person's willingness to shirk all responsibility and ...

Editor While everyone is arguing about whether Bush lied about WMD to start a war in Iraq, no one seems to be arguing about Bush using WMD in Iraq. It has taken over a week, but the Albuquerque Journal ran a heavily censored story today about US Forces using WMD in last years attack on Fallujah. How ...
Editor, This is in response to Ben Mills' column in Monday's Daily Lobo, "Mass media not covering positive changes in Iraq."

Vandalism is a severe problem here on the UNM campus. The worst of it is in the men's bathroom in Mitchell Hall. Also, when I use the restroom at CSEL, I always see a written conversation on one of the bathroom stalls. Why can't some people keep their opinions to themselves? If these people want to ...
