Arizona: Education Optional - Guns and ID a Must

Oh crap, I officially live in the the most conservative state in the country - we might be in a close race with Utah, but yikes, the recent decisions regarding carrying guns and checking immigration status are disturbing.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised since when I came out west in the 70's, my dad said, "so you're going to live in Barry Goldwater country?"  I didn't care much about politics then and I obviously stayed well beyond college, but I never gave up my East coast liberal elite politics and this state is still wacked.

Back to Governor Jan Brewer and our crazy legislators.  Now you can run around our share of the southwest with a firearm clearly showing with no need to prove that you purchased the weapon legally, while walking down the same street with brown skin warrants the police checking that you have proof of citizenship.  Those with an ethnic look, beware!

Sigh - why can't AZ spend more time figuring out how to fund educating our children?  We're at the bottom of the fiscal heap in funding education but waste time with laws about guns and illegal aliens.  Pretty frustrating . . . I mean - yeehah!
