  1. Boy, the more I read and learn about Arizona--and not just the MMM debacle--the less I am inclined to want to ever visit your state. Maybe the heat is cooking people's brains??? Your elected officials seem hell-bent on carrying out a pogrom of self-destruction. You are becoming the laughingstock of the nation. How sad. Arizona really is a beautiful state (I grew up reading "Arizona Highways").
