so sad. Our Veterans are true heros and we owe them not only our profound thanks, but the respect that they deserve. I am proud that my father will be one of the veterans there today to pay tribute to Mr. Lott and give him the honorable farewell he so rightly deserves. God Bless our veterans, both living and deceased.

The mileage figures the article quotes, 40/60 city/hwy are for the diesel model which isn''t available here in the States. The EPA figures are more accurate. The Smart actually received good crash test ratings, whereas some other small cars (Hyundai Accent, Chevrolet Aveo) did not, and you don''t hear people talking about what death traps they are. It was even rated better than some small pickup trucks.

If people didn''t try and justify the purchase of enormous ego-boosting trucks on the basis of ''safety'' this ludicrous gigantification of cars would never have happened (as it didn''t in continental europe, where people appear to be sure enough of their manhood not to have to drive a 7-ton to prove they have a Y-chromosome).

In response to Mr. Choyt''s posting. My family has also owned property in Ocate since the 1800''s. How long have you owned property in Ocate? It is admitted that there are issues with a handful of individuals that do not respect the area. A swapping of land is not opposed as long as it is fair and equitable. What is a concern is that the lands being traded are to the benefit of the Citizens. A fair and equitable trade means that all aspects including hunting benefit the Citizens rather than the private land owners in the area. Proper management of lands wheather it be private or public first should start with fencing off and posting of private and public lands. Citizens that enjoy the land known as Whites Peak are not the wealth but those that can''t afford to pay the high prices charged by private land owners.

Roy, maybe that idea will get through. Health care insurance reform as they are trying to pass it now, with any provisions for paying for abortion, is just going to kill what is a decent idea. Medicare works, and has low overhead costs. It should be expanded, first to insure the uninsured, those covered under medicaid, and expand from there over a relatively short period of time. Health insurance as an employee benefit just doesn''t reach enough people.

I really do not understand where your staff writer(s) got the idea that the management of finance in higher education has been a shoddy or sloppy affair. Surely, many educators do stress the priorities of their profession( information as a tool, technical training, and the training of the human being in using the informational tools, and techniques) i.e., education over a mere concern for money, but they constantly look for ways to make educational, business, medicinal, and and social organizing processes more efficient and less costly for the people these processes serve. Academics, contrary to the impression your staff writers seem to seek to promote, tend to be tidy minded and budget conscious to a fault. Part of this comes from being constantly reminded by administrators about how little funding is available for them to operate, and, especially in public education, from being reminded how little public funding is available for the purposes of training and education, and how little the public is willing to pay for education that seems to be bringing them smaller and smaller returns on their investment. I seriously doubt their unruliness, given their penchant for the niceties of Roberts Rules of Order, and their creativity is always tempered by the discipline of their chosen fields of concentration as well as the above-mentioned constraints. My questions to your staff writers is: "How could writers who profess to be disciplined journalists, come up with such misguided concepts of their educators, the purposes of their educators, AND their ducations?"

It is a shame that a Medicare E (for everyone who wants it) won''t be part of the health care insurance reform bill. There are only 3 reasons it should have been adopted: 1. Basic Morality. STUDY LINKS 45,000 U.S. DEATHS TO LACK OF INSURANCE (Reuters) http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSTRE58G6W520090917 2. Much less costly. All the modern industrial countries spend 40-70% LESS for healthcare. Both in the aggregate and individually. 3. Better outcomes. The US rants anywhere from 17th - 36th in quality of care depending on the survey used among the modern industrial countries. Anyone who thinks access to adequate medical care makes one less free needs to examine what propaganda they have been watching and listening to and watch. Propaganda outlets like the Fox Falsifiers and right-wing hate radio are dangerous to the health of the country, society, and individuals

I own a place in Ocate and have hunted elk in the White Peak area for years. Unfortunately, the hunt misconduct in that area is all too common. Too many drunks, trashing out camping areas and driving everywhere with their ATVs. Plus, the poaching that takes place is rampant. The state has not been able to properly manage the area. A fair land swap is much better than the alternative-- which could look like one of the ranchers involved selling off the property to a developer who turns the entire, beautiful area into ranchettes.

Randy you need to actually read the constitution before you post. Separation of church and state is not there. What is there is a statement to keep the government from forming its own religion, and to keep the government from interfering with religion. While I agree and Christ agreed with separation of church and state this case has nothing to do with that. What it has to do with is to keeping you and those who believe like you from forcing those who don’t support your lack of basic concern for human life from being forced to finance your immorality. If a woman wants to murder her child she can pay for it her self.

Bubba Snitz posted at: 11/19/2009 9:33 PM
There''s $800,000 down the drain and a lesson. The city should not take it upon itself to improve technology and upgrade infrastructure until its citizens are desperate enough for it to suffer the unsightliness of efficiency. The city could save itself a lot of money by not planning for anticipated demand for reliability and adequate supply of infrastructure. It should wait until it is so utterly dysfunctional that trivial aesthetic complaints are loudly overwhelmed by demand for improvement. That of course is not the smart way to manage city services but given recent reactions to the smart way of dveloping infrastructure in this town, I''d be willing to revert to old ways of waiting until there is a real problem, a plainly painful shortcoming, like people without services long enough because the system is broke, before even thinking about doing something about it. The art of planning, of anticipating problems, allocating funds and making improvements to head off problems are so under appreciated and vilified that the best plan is to let things slide until there is a signficantly sized plebicite pressuring for change. The citizens who don''t like the electronic monitoring of water supply are implicitly willing to suffer water outages caused in part by not having electronic monitoring in their water system and that to me is a good excuse to let the whole system sit there unmaintained until there is a problem big enough to incite these same citizens to maybe decide that a few antennas sticking up just might be worth having a reliable water supply system. They don''t appreciate anything until it is broken, so the only way to get this city''s populace to accept anything is to let it break and give them enough time to suffer.

"The state is in the midst of an economic crisis, and our funding continues to decline," said the Superintendent. -- "We must ensure that we are funding our classrooms at a level that guarantees success for all New Mexico children, in particular, taking another look at how we fund our rural, smaller andpoorer schools," Governor Richardson said. "Ultimately, I believe the decision on making this major investment should be up to the voters. Our citizens must have the power to shape the future of New Mexico and to decide where our priorities lie." -- What do YOU say NM?

N.M.'s No. 2 post gets new contender

The GOP is basically the home team in Farmington, some of Las Cruces, and Roswell. You gotta win Abq and the North. Big Bill has practically handed it to the GOP. There are enough socially conservative Dems and Dems fed up with Big Bill''s corruption to make a difference and what''s more they want to make a statement. Just ask Gary Johnson. Twice. Denish won''t break with Big Bill because she wants access to his donor base. My bet is they won''t be enough for her to win given the State''s busted budget, lack of jobs, and her supposed willingness to cut appointees. Everyone knows someone without a job. They also know that if you pay you get to play. If the GOP reaches out effectively (like Berry did) to Dems they have better than a fighting chance. The GOP has been dealt a great hand. Don''t go all right wing ''stick to principles'' racist and overplay your hand or else you''ll just be complaining for 4 more years.

Letters to the editor for Nov. 19, 2009

The powers that be, if there actually are any at the New Mexican, really should pay heed to the third paragraph of Mary Bradshaw''s letter. It''s about time this "newspaper", did a little investigative reporting of it''s own instead of re-wording articles from the Albq. Journal and essentially reporting yesterday''s news tomorrow. Does the editor actually read these letters, does the New Mexican actually have any real journalists? Ms. Bradshaw makes some very good suggestions. I would like to know how the governor thinks that eliminating unfilled positions, which some of the 84 are, is going to help the pathetic state of the budget that he has heavily contributed to.

'SuperNanny' seeks frustrated New Mexico parents

Any Dem appointed by Big Bill or Republican business owner (there''s more than a few of them) getting fat off of State contracts could easily comment in favor of him. Dems have run NM for awhile now and bear responsibility for their big spending ways. My money says Denish is gonna pay for that big spending in 2010. Bush (enabled by both houses of congress) spent big time too at the national level. Wanna talk about Socialism? Talk about Bush''s prescription drug entitlement. Bush started giving out billion dollar Socialist bailouts. Both sides bear responsibility. Republicans ran Congress from 94-2006 and the White House from 00-08 didn''t they? Big business (many of which are run by right leaning GOP) lobbying has corrupted BOTH parties and our govt along with it. The military industrial complex ain''t cheap either. Mostly poor young people have been fighting mostly rich old people''s wars somewhere ever since I can remember.
