Stop Buying Cacti...

I was a student, for a while, at The University of Arizona at Tucson. It was in 1970, a glorious time to be in college. Girls, music, pot and the absolute unrelenting beauty of the Arizona desert. And the two sunset possibilty in Tucson...one as the sun disappeared behind Gates Pass...and the other as it slipped under the horizon after you raced along Speedway Blvd. to get up and over that very same Gates Pass to watch the sunset all over again. Truly magical.

But the magic and glory of Arizona seems to be gone. What we have now is Jan Brewer and John McCain...let alone the rest of the population with their guns and xenophobia.

I say, to hell with 'em. Boycotts work. Look what happened in South Africa...and to the Edsel.

Forget about Arizona. Cross it off the map. Give it back to the Indians. Don't go.

The Grand Canyon and the Saguaro Cacti are amazing. So is the desert in spring. But aside from that let em' wallow in their own narrow sense of what the United States is all about.

Having just returned from Europe I can tell you one thing. It's no fun to be stopped and asked for your "papers."

Now it's the Mexicans. It used to be the Irish and the Italians and the Jews...let's not forget the Jews.

And fortunately, you don't have to go through Arizona to get to California or Nevada.
Or any of the other states of the Union where the Constitution still seems to mean something.

Screw em'. Boycott em'. Let em' have their Grand Canyon and their Sedona and their
Diamondbacks.

Imagine the American flag with 49 stars...or maybe we could replace Arizona with Puerto Rico. The Puerto Ricans are a warm and welcoming people. They would be an addition to the Union...they're almost a state anyway...bring em' on!

Buenos dias amigos...habla Liberty!!!???
