That is one of the best play on word titles I have seen, ever!

Why is it such a taboo to NOT believe in supernatural beings in this society? That is so confusing to me.

Re: Kansas

Well, they don't believe in evolution, which is science. Healthcare is also based on scientific research, so it makes sense that people in Kansas have no interest in healthcare - but they still use cell phones, TVs, and DVD players, don't they? Very convenient...

Too bad we can't put a wall up around Texas and not let any more ignorant Texans into the rest of the country.

I'm about to be one of those statistics. After getting a graduate degree last December, it is time to move on. If I were looking for a job, the pay level around Albq is just too low. The crime rate in Albuquerque is another thing getting me to leave. It is way too high, compared to national averages. The current Mayor, City Council, and police department should be embarrassed at the crime in this city.

Re: More Americans believe in UFOs than oppose a public option

That just highlights that state of our education system. Without quality education, people will continue to believe in supernatural beings, UFOs, witches, magic, etc.... very sad.

However, UFOs are merely unidentified flying objects. In a literal sense, I believe there are objects in the sky that an observer might not be able to identify.

As if we needed one more reason to NOT vote for Berry....

Re: Berry TV ad exaggerates length of Chavez’ term in office

If a candidate has to tell people that he is honest, then I immediately suspect that candidate is just the opposite....kind of like "Honest Jim's Car Sales." The psychological reaction is to question the honesty of the person claiming to be honest.

Go Romero! Time to get rid of Chavez (and that massive ego), for once and all!

Re: Top lawmakers consider $77 million in education cuts

gshurley — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:26:25 -0000

...because cutting education funding is a strategy that guarantees future success of the citizens. I mean, those greedy public schools have too much money already, so lets take it away from them and line the pockets of politicians and their business associates.....I love New Mexico!

Re: Richard Berry’s family-owned business benefits from gov’t programs for women, minorities

After hearing Mr. Berry on KUNM last week, I was immediately convinced that he is not good for our city's future. If he wants to run the city like a business, then I assume he wants to treat people like they are worthless and will do anything to increase revenue (aka profit) for himself and his family. No thanks Mr. Berry - go away. Albuquerque can do far better!
