Supposing...

...just supposing, one day, someone MADE administrators, politicians, boards of trustees, and the like actually come and be involved in the communities they too often screw over for more than a whistle stop. Suppose one day before you took a position of trust and power, you were made to live among all your constituents, not merely the ones who came to the fundraising dinner.

Suppose...

It hit me recently, and I don't know why it hadn't hit me before, that crAZy is Old Mexico and before that Old Spain (and get off my backs people who want to rant about how it was Native before that and Asiam before that-- really, learn rhetoric first!). This area was a separate country, with a unique language. WHY should we expect English to be primary here? Because snowbirds demand it? "Because it's America, you liberal idiot!"

Well, it has only been America a while. You're in the Southwest. Speak Spanish!

Or calo, or spanglish, or Tex-Mex...

Suppose!
