No razor wire at any business within 50 miles of where I live. ---

Well, I guess that means it doesn’t exist anywhere. The counry is bigger than your local area. “If it didn’t happen to me, it didn’t happen.” ---

There’s certainly a lot of dislike of both Hispanics and Native Americans, yes. Oh, and since you mentioned shooting on property: saguaros are a Federally Protected species. As are Gila monsters. And some species of rattlesnakes. ---

Wow, I don’t know how you came to this conclusion. I have been to East St. Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis, etc. ---

I have never had a problem with Native People. We partied with a bunch of Menominee bikers at a bike show. So much fun. They definitely have a good sense of humor. I was talking to a dude and his friend walked up and said “ Don’t believe a word he said, he’s an Indian, they always lie”. Almost like the British giving the piss. ---

> [@MrMrmrmr](#): > > Ha, thanks for the memories. Vote for Pedro. As an aside: The replies here are unrelated; but oddly and amusingly enough, for me and other Hispanics, is that coincidentally the name of Fred Flinstone in the Spanish dub is Pedro too.

FWIW, Prescott and Prescott Valley is/are angry old right winger heaven. The former has a decent amount of redeeming qualities culturally and visually, the latter seems like urban sprawl gone mad in a flattish dust bowl expanse of brownery, far distant mountain hills notwithstanding. ---
