Letter To The Editor: To All You Concerned Citizens
By GERALD M. ANTOSEverything you said may be all too true but its credibility comes into serious doubt because you fail oh so miserably to take ownership for your remarks (link, link).
So as far as I’m concerned they are just another pile of meadow muffins to be stepped in.
If you want to be taken seriously for your comments get a spine and take responsibility for your words! Put your name on your letters!

By A Concerned CitizenMr. Antos (link), the beauty of this country is that we (still) have the right to free speech – so you were able to publish a letter without punishment, despite the fact the large parts of it uses language unacceptable to any respectful trade of differing ideas.

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity. Read More

Letter To The Editor: Things Should Be Kept Civil
By A Concerned CitizenMr. Antos,
A little congeniality goes a long way. One can certainly disagree without being disagreeable, and in doing so win the respect, if not agreement, of the opposing party. There is another, less visible aspect of this concept; When you are disagreeable, others may be more inclined to be disagreeable toward you. Calling (link and link) Ms. Schick (link) and Mr. Reilly (link) “thin-skinned” and “whiny” is childish and uncalled for. It would be like me calling you a pompous, xenophobic cry-baby: However accurate it may be, it is Read More

SANTA FE – A bill sponsored by Rep. Nate Gentry (R-Bernalillo) to reform New Mexico’s “three strikes” law advanced Friday through the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee on a unanimous vote. The legislation, House Bill 54, moves next to the House Judiciary Committee.

Bill Making Teacher Evaluations More Fair Advances
STATE News:
SANTA FE — Today, Rep. Debra Sariñana’s (D-Albuquerque) bill to make teacher evaluations more fair, HB 163, passed the House Education Committee.
The bill specifically ensures a teacher’s evaluation is not disproportionately affected by students who have too many absences, and therefore have far less classroom hours with that teacher.
“Teachers want evaluations to be fair, and this provision will ensure our educators are not unfairly judged,” Rep. Sariñana said. “Attendance impacts a student’s performance and it’s important that teachers are evaluated fairly based Read More
Letter To The Editor: Time To Shed That Whiney Thin-Skined Arrogance…
By GERALD M. ANTOSI’m sorry Ms. Schick but, I don’t need or want your history lesson (link).
As a veteran, and having been born and raised in Los Alamos, I find that maybe you and Mr. Reilly (link) need to shed your whiney thin-skinned arrogance and get down to some real serious reality.
More celebrities and supposed stars have claimed that they would leave if Trump was elected and we are still waiting. We have umpteen thousands of liberal pukes rampaging in the streets about their need for safe space and free speech and black lives matter yet it is they who are the ones rioting in the streets Read More
