I met a genius boy once strolling down the street Sweet as can be and a driven look tingling in his eyes
For more than a quarter century I have been an ardent supporter of the Palestinian cause, of freeing their homeland from Israeli soldiers and colonists and all the brutality and suffering involved in the Occupation. This has not been easy path to tread since most Americans know little about Palestine beyond what they are told by a biased media and elected officials utterly terrified of Zionist money opposing them in their next election.

New Mexicans know what a Lowrider is. Most have likely seen their elaborate detailing and flashy rims parading Central Avenue. Lowrider art can now be found in one of the National Hispanic Cultural Center's gallery. At the opening of the exhibit this past weekend, the proprietors of "Low 'n' Slow: Lowriding in New Mexico" discussed their attraction to this rarely acknowledged art form.
I don't profess to be a fan of adult-contemporary instrumental music, so it's hard to not grin and think about shopping at Borders when I listen to Only, the most recent release from Australian guitar virtuoso Tommy Emmanuel.

I know many of us are tired of discussing, hearing and reading about last week's tragic events. However, I believe the catastrophic loss of life was a wake-up call to American society and to us as human beings. It was a wake-up call because in many ways we let it happen.

A huge enemy body count is not the answer.
In an effort to help people understand and deal with last week's terrorist attacks, UNM is sponsoring two forums and an Islamic awareness event on campus today.
It's been more than a week since the terrorist attack, and the full magnitude of what is happening still hasn't sunk into our national consciousness. As the United States begins its revenge, we should reflect on the fact that these terrorists - guerilla fighters of the most cowardly sort - planned and executed this operation over a long period. This was not a sudden decision on their part. They were thinking ahead, looking at the big picture. This small group of fanatics had more foresight than we as a nation have shown in a long time.
