The governor of New Mexico, when new in office, attempted to thwart the logging for firewood - she ordered some stop on the use of forest lands (something like that).
Little could she imagine, that her constituents who voted for her, were often pickup truck drivers who collected firewood for the winter - firewood being a very important heating source for many people in New Mexico.
The other thing - a requirement for security in New Mexico - is being able to protect yourself. Because immediately at and beyond the outskirts of Albuquerque and Santa Fe, the rest of New Mexico is still the old wild west.
That, now, becoming a bigger problem, given the liberals’ demanding much greater wilding by illegal aliens - during which chaos, there are advantages taken by the criminal elements.
- speaking for a friend in the beyond
Yup. If not for the absurd politics we might have retired there.
