What Do Y&#8217;all Think? Is This Too Long? Maybe I Should Go On a Few Lines More? How Much Is Too Much Here? It Doesn&#8217;t Seem to Cut Off At 255 Characters, Like MS Windows Does With Filenames. How Many Words Should You Need In A Subject Line To Adequately Let People Know What The Topic Is All About?</p></blockquote>

<div>Take any money left over from this year&#8217;s budget (if any) and either give it back as a tax return or set it aside for next year. Or put it towards repayment of some of the city&#8217;s existing bond expenditures.</p>
<p>Get over it &#8211; this schtick about &quot;there&#8217;s nothing to do&quot; in Albuquerque is bunk. Take a look at the local newspapers &#8211; <i>Alibi</i>, <i>Local iQ</i>, the <i>Journal</i>, etc. &#8211; and you&#8217;ll see plenty of things to do listed.</p>
<p>If you really want to &quot;invest in the future,&quot; cut taxes, cut regulations on business, and cut regulations on private property. Let us in the private sector grow the economy by getting government out of the way.</p></div>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><font size="2">
<ol>
<li>We stuck to the posted agenda fairly well &#8211; we didn&#8217;t get sidetracked much at all.</li>
<li>We had a few new faces at this event &#8211; total attendance was twelve, which is double last month&#8217;s number.</li>
</ol>
<p></font></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><font size="2"><b>What needs improving</b></font></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><font size="2">The venue&#8217;s management seated us in the separate room after another group had previously reserved that same room for every Thursday. So at 7:00 PM, we had to move from that room to the main dining room, where we had to raise our voices to be heard over the piano.</font></p>

<p>&#8220;Is it because we have a mulatto man in the White House that hates America that caused you to write your diatribe on Allen West. . . .&#8221;</p>
<p>Wait a second here &#8211; isn&#8217;t Allen West a &#8220;mulatto&#8221; as well, by this racist clown&#8217;s &#8220;standards&#8221; ?</p>
<p>Forget weapons of mass destruction and natural disasters &#8211; cognitive dissonance will be the death of civilization.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s another goodie from Allen West &#8211; <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=KHrJitv3nXM" target="blank">http://youtube.com/watch?v=KHrJitv3nXM</a></p>

<blockquote>
<div>There is already a chapter of the Pink Pistols in Albuquerque. They are LGBTQ friendly.</div>
</blockquote>
<p>All I can find on the web is a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://pinkpistols.org/local/albuquerque/index.html" target="_blank">&#8220;splash&#8221; page</a> with dysfunctional HTML coding for the Albuquerque &#8220;chapter&#8221; and an <a rel="nofollow" href="http://newmexico.pinkpistols.org/" target="_blank">&#8220;placeholder&#8221; page</a> for the New Mexico &#8220;chapter&#8221; – I&#8217;ve sent several emails to both the ABQ @ pinkpistols.org and NM @ pink pistols.org email addresses, and received nothing in the way of responses.</p>
<p>For what it&#8217;s worth, the last time I <b>did</b> get a response from either one of the addresses, it was from Bill Hartwell, who moved to Florida in 2004, then to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project.</p>

<p>If Heather is so hot-to-trot in support of the Iraq and Afghanistan Occupations, then why doesn&#8217;t she go and take part personally?</p>
<p>That she probably never touched a pistol or rifle aside from the mandatory qualification tests (usually annual) while she was in the Air Force is something that I couldn&#8217;t care less about at this time. If she wants to send other people&#8217;s kids over to kill and be killed, then she should lead from the front.</p>
<p>Indeed, from looking at her record in the Congress from 1998 to 2008, she seems to have something of an aversion to the rest of us owning and carrying pistols and rifles &#8211; maybe that stems a fear or aversion on her part about owning and carrying them herself?</li>
