Re:MOD PARENT UP
Yes, New Mexico has a State question.
I *had* to google this.
From the New Mexico Blue Book 2007–2008. New Mexico Secretary of State. http://www.sos.state.nm.us/BlueBook2008/StateSymbols.pdf
STATE QUESTION - "RED or GREEN"
In 1996, the New Mexico State Legislature passed a House Joint Memorial declaring "Red or Green?" as the official state question. This refers to the question always asked whether one prefers red or green chile when ordering New Mexican cuisine. This measure was passed to signify the importance that the chile industry has on the economy of the state. -
Re:Slashdot "Hype"
RealID was a horrible idea, many states refused to do it...it is dead in the water as far as I can tell.
Nope, it was passed into law. All the states requested an extension, so the deadline for implementation was pushed back to the end of March 2008 and then again to the end of December 2009. Since then, 20 states have become compliant, 14 have passed legislation prohibiting their DMV departments from complying, and the remaining 16 are somewhere in between. The DHS has offered the 30 non-compliant states an extension till May 2011 provided they implement a certain number of the requirements. If they don't, then all the residents of those states will have need a passport to fly starting January 1st. I do have to wonder the DHS would really risk implementing this during holiday travels, but that is the plan as of now.
I got this info from our state's Real ID FAQ(PDF) - it is probably on Wikipedia as well.

Re:Bill RichardsonBut Bill Richardson also
- wrote and signed an executive order giving domestic partnership benefits to all New Mexico state employees.
- pushed for and then signed the New Mexico Hate Crimes Act of 2003, which classifies a hate crime:
"motivated by hate" means the commission of a crime with the intent to commit the crime because of the actual or perceived race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity of the victim, whether or not the offender's belief or perception was correct
- pushed 2007 HB4, New Mexico's Doemstic Partner Rights & Responsibilities Act, even calling the legislature back to a special session when it was not originally passed.

Re:All minority ticket: Obama/Richardson
What accomplishment does Barack Obama have that should put him on the top of that ticket?
Governor Bill Richardson is a former Congressman, Secretary of Energy, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and a four-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee. He's best known for successfully negotiating to get hostages out of Iraq, North Korea, Cuba and Sudan, and he recently negotiated a 60-day cease-fire in Darfur.
Compared to Bill Richardson, what candidate has more experience as an executive, as an international diplomat, or in determining energy policy? -
Re:Bill RichardsonAs far as the war, Richardson wants a complete withdrawal with ZERO residual troops by the end of 2007.
Richardson on some issues.
As far as Patriot Act:"It is important, especially now that Congress is evaluating the impact of the Patriot Act, that we send the message that New Mexico opposes the infringement of civil rights and liberties," said Governor Bill Richardson. "The United States can fight the war against terrorism without eroding America's precious freedoms."
Governor Bill Richardson and Attorney General Patricia Madrid Oppose U.S. Patriot Act provisions
Prohibition? I am not sure what you mean there. Do you mean the drug war? Well he signed the Medicinal Marijuana bill in NM, and he has pushed for drug treatment before prosecution. But he has also pushed for minimum sentences for dealers, and supports parts of the war on drugs. So I guess maybe he is in the middle of the road with regards to the drug war.
I am not sure about IP.
This site has a lot of information, although I cannot say if it is to be 100% trusted as I didn't look too hard to see who funds it. On The Issues. It also appears that some of their information is a little out dated.
Bill Richardson is the most qualified and most electable candidate we have at this time. Obama, or Clinton would be disasters. -
Re:A similar thing happened in my townYou can read the full text here. Some highlights:
WHEREAS, George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney conspired with others to defraud the United States of America by intentionally misleading congress and the public regarding the threat from Iraq in order to justify a war in violation of Title 18 United States Code, Section 371; and
You know, pretty much the usual stuff you would impeach someone for.
WHEREAS, George W. Bush has admitted to ordering the national security agency to conduct electronic surveillance of American civilians without seeking warrants from the foreign intelligence surveillance court of review, duly constituted by congress in 1978, in violation of Title 50 United States Code, Section 1805; and
WHEREAS, George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney conspired to commit the torture of prisoners in violation of Title 18 United States Code, Chapter 113C, the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and the Geneva Conventions, which under Article VI of the United States constitution are part of the "supreme Law of the Land"; and
WHEREAS, George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney acted to strip American citizens of their constitutional rights by ordering indefinite detention without access to legal counsel, without charge and without the opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the president of a United States citizen as an "enemy combatant", all in subversion of law;

Who cares
Is it really that big of a deal that they want to pass this to honor the person that found Pluto? A link to the Memorial Text. This probably won't cost the state much money so let it be.

Re:That's Bush Spin Talking
There is no truth to what you heard.
According the governor of New Mexico they had people leaving for Lousiana the night that Gov. Blanco asked for them.. There were a few delays but they were caused by EMAC.
There were a few delays in getting help from other states which according to the Gov of West Virginia were also caused by EMAC/NEMA and paperwork from the the states needing help. EMAC is a state run pact for requesting and supplying help, NEMA is organization of state emergency organizers who run and approve EMAC requests. The only time the federal government comes in is if FEMA makes an active request and the paperwork has been signed by the local governor that make FEMA the centralized controlling organization for managing support.
You also had problem with medical support caused by the Mississippi and lousiana governors not approving help for outside source, so some early medical helper had to work under the good samaritan laws. As a medical worker that just starts working in a different state during an emergency you can be sued and are libel. However if the governor signes the EMAC paperwork the state assumes all liability, this is what took some time. Because of the legal liability the states are assuming they do now have some additional training you have to take if you want to help with theses emergencies; this has caused some non-trained people to be turned away. -
Common in NM
That's nothing. The bubonic plague is actually relatively common (as plagues go) in New Mexico... Those mice are probably on a cross country trip to join their brethren.

Wow, where did you go to school? Did you know that the US has 50 states now too? -
If you want to do something about this...read thisDon't just say "Oh my gosh" and rant here.
Moreover it does no good to have voter verified paper trails in your own precint if florida or california lacks them. That paper trail only secures your one vote. You want everyone elses secure too as errors elsewhere swamp your measly vote.
So rant to the persons who could actually do something about this: the head of NASED the organization that sets voting machine standards is Denise Lamb and the head of the National Association of Secretaries of state is Rebecca Vigil-giron. Tell them you are a professional programmer and give them your candid opinion about the need for voter verified paper trails. Currently they are outspoken in nation wide advocacy agains adding paper trails to touch screen voting.

IMPORTANT: READ THIS and TAKE ACTIONNew mexico, despite being small, may well be the 2nd most important state in the nation on the electronic voting issue. (california being the first with its financial clout). The reason New Mexico is so critical is that the head of NASED is also the election director. NASED is the shell organization formed by the vendor lobby org electioncenter.org to rubber stamp the approval of all voting machines. When some one says a machine is "federally certified" this is a polite fiction: there is no federal certification process, there are only voluntary guidelines and if a machine meets these guidelines as discerened by a private contractor (wyles testing, Cyber, or Systest are the only three) then NASED gives it a gold star. Thes guidelines are woefully inadequate and test more for whether the machine will catch fire than if its follows proper coding practices (e.g. dont use floats for the vote total, or allow negative vote numbers (as happened in the bit-flip error that created -16,324 votes for al gore in florida).
That's what "federally certified means". NADA. And denise lamb is the one who does this to you (denise.lamb@state.nm.us).
Denise is a rabid, machines-can-do-no-wrong political animal, logig means nothing to her, so lying to achive an agenda is simply machivelian to her. In fact she makes up lies about the machines and tells people for example that all paper trails would be printed on 1.5 inch wide ribbons of tissue paper. (no I'm not making this up, I've saw her demo before the ACLU.).
If that were not enough, we have a Secretary of state, Rebecca Vigil-Giron who if you look on "followthemoney,org" you will see takes not only corporate donations from vendors but also personal ones. She is also head of the NAtional association of secretaries of state and issues policy reccomendations to all the others SOS. About half of her $500,000 budget comes in "gifts" from machine vendors.
So you can see that if New Mexico has a problem then the whole united states has a problem
I urge you to write Denise Lamb denise.lamb@state.nm.us and tell her you are a professional programmer and give her your candid opinion. And while you are at it ask her to mail you one of those noodle voting tapes she had made up--she hands out copies.

Re:New Mexico...for tourism?I actually live in Silver City. I was born and raised here. What I can assure all of you is that this story has been around (my intial report in June) for awhile, and the reason it hasn't been settled yet is because we like to fight about everything. The local paper has been covering the story, if you want another perspective on things:
They include the statement that Catherine Antrim, buried in Memory Lane Cemetery, has a "legal right to repose in her grave"; Silver City is charged with the management of the cemetery; the town is "empowered to preserve and protect historical landmarks within its jurisdiction, including Catherine Antrim's grave site, under the Historic District and Landmark Act,"; and the town must protect the dignity of "those interred on its public grounds."
However, as far as tourism goes, NM does have alot to offer. No flashy lights or big buidlings, but we have National Monuments, Parks, and Forests, along with countless state monuments and parks. Perhaps you might want to check out the Gila Cliff Dwellings, or the City of Rocks, or take a tour of ghost towns. You can do all three within an hour and a half drive from Silver City. We have thirty-three art galleries downtown, access to just about any outdoor activity you can think of, and host the Tour of the Gila, a prominent cycling road race, every spring. And that's just Silver City.I certainly agree that this might be getting a little too much attention. However, I think it might be taking it a little far to think that Silver City is trying to rationalize its existence on the fact that Billy the Kid's mom is buried here. In fact, aside from post cards, I've never really seen any Billy the Kid merchandise. Maybe I should go into business.

you're out of your mindDid they build a road to the cabin? It wouldn't be that much more expensive to build railroad tracks.
Yeah, only an order of magnitude more expensive. Average cost per lane-mile to construct a road: about $500K (rounding up). [Ref] Call it $1 million per mile for a two-line road. Average cost to construct light rail: around $20 MILLION per mile. [Ref]
Sure, these are data sources are not directly comparable and obviously don't include things like maintenance and operating costs (which are probably higher for rail since you have to have paid operators, but that's beside the point). Of course, rail also has much more stringent restrictions as to climb grades, turn radii, and other things that make it far less suitable for many out-of-the-way environments than roads.

Fortunately, the impact of this decision will be relatively minimal. The general public won't pay much attention to this, because very few people actually realize that New Mexico is part of the United States. So you see, we actually have very little to worry about.

Re:Use the "scared straight" method
This is a perfect example of *why* the DARE program is wrong. The Governor of New Mexico thinks drugs should be legalized. He explains many reasons why the DARE program doesn't work, why it has never worked, and why it will never work. He admits to having used drugs himselves, and that it is Fun, Good, etc.. but thinks (and this is where I disagree) that they are a handicap. Of course they *can* be - espescially "dumb drugs" like Alcohol. It is not unusual for a recovering alcoholic in a position of authority (say the VP of a High School) to be extra hard on "druggies".
In essence, the DARE program teaches a bunch of lies. It may help a 6 year old get her daddy to stop smoking (This is an effect I've seen for many people - there is no positive argument for smoking tobacco), but it will not keep a 14 year old from smoking pot. At some point, as the Gov. says, he or she will have a friend who smokes pot. That person will not be all fucked up. They will be smart, happy, excited about life, and this person will think to themselves "he/she smokes pot, and it didn't ruin his/her life, chances of success, etc...". "Hmm, maybe it isn't a gateway drug - maybe I won't end up as a crack addict laying in the street a year from now because I like to toke".
Once society can accept the fact that we are *all* drug users. We *all* like to alter our consciousness - if not at the level that psychadelic drugs such as Marijuana, LSD, and Psilocibin can take us - then at least at the level that Jolt!, Marlboro, Benadryl, Budweiser, Bacardi, and all of our other naughty little friends do. Essentially, any drug you take alters consciousness - each drug is the gateway to the next. Fortunately for most of us, I haven't heard anyone talking about the consciousness expanding properties of Cocaine, Heroin, etc..
Let's close by striking an analogy between hackers and drug users, mmkay? As Linux/*nix hackers, we take much the same attitude towards our computers as drug users take towards their bodies (minds, really). We seek to know how everything works (there has been more than one "hack your mind" article on slashdot since I've been reading), to change how it works - make it more efficient, make ourselves more efficient (not in the busy little bee since, but in the Happiness and Enlightenment sense).
STOP THE DRUG WAR! Visit NORML.org, read some intelligent opinions. Remember that not *everyone* is responsible, but that I would venture to say that *most* people who use legal drugs (alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, prescription drugs, OTC stuff) abuse them at times - possibly more often than illegal drugs. Any drug can be abused. Drug abuse is bad. Drug _USE_ is not necessarily bad. Alcohol Kills. Tobacco Kills. Marijuana, LSD, Psilocibyn, and Mescaline are all perfectly safe drugs (with *no* known lethal dosage). Why is our world so backwards?
