I guess it makes sense. The Spanish were the first Europeans there, and they established schools and towns and converted the native people to their European ways.<br /><br />Of course, they also maintain their distinct culture as well, the Pueblo moreso than the Mescaleros. <br /><br />The Pueblo are native to the area, the Mescalero are transplants, or I think some of them are. They did roam around a larger area that just where their reservation is now.<br /><br />If Finn is reading this he can probably bring his encyclopedic knowledge to the discussion. He was also stationed down there.<br /><br />But you are right, it's a fascinating area.Silverfiddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541652236676260219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-79501422367442441822012-08-12T05:38:45.296-06:002012-08-12T05:38:45.296-06:00Yep Z.

In reality...Nice try guys, but I'm not stupid. In reality, the voters, including the elderly, disenfranchised by these "voter fraud" snipe hunts are mostly Democratic. They are older Southern black people and older Northern white people, young urban people, and students, and the way these populations are balanced is directly correlated to the sleazy, scummy, anti-American "voter fraud" snipe hunts by state.<br /><br />It's obvious.<br /><br />Pennsylvania has the second oldest population in the nation. Then there's Florida, the first.<br /><br />The Old South has a huge migrant worker population. Funny how things never change.<br /><br />So, really, knock it off. It's off-putting.<br /><br />Make your case and if people like it, they'll vote for it. We are a democracy at heart, after all. If you are asserting you're rights are being violated, then prove it. If you can't, then as you guys like to say "STFU."<br /><br />Prove your particular concern about a certain type of voter fraud is a serious concern, or shut the fuck up. ;)<br /><br />JMJJersey McJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426560061830038806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-3812873195950208162012-08-11T17:10:29.808-06:002012-08-11T17:10:29.808-06:00Looking forward to Monday!
