The truth about Farmington, NM is that people actually enjoy living there and some of the local recreation includes beautiful hiking trails, shopping, swimming in the gorgeous indoor pools and camping in nearby Durango, Co. Then there’s always Navajo Lake for boating but the very best is the incredible fly-fishing in the quality waters of the San Juan River, which attracts not only locals but fans from around the world.
Like I said, some folks read too much Hillerman. Tony lived in Albuquerque. Tony made his living by writing from the oppressed Navajo viewpoint.
I enjoyed his books for the picture he painted of the culture, but he wouldn't have made a good FReeper politically.

That happens to be a past-time for a whole lot of places, actually -- but in this case, we're talking about a propensity of some to practice (here in our present existence), what they are looking forward to doing for eternity with a whole bunch of women, and controlling their own universe and being their own "god" in it, in the same manner that we consider "God" here ... in our own present existence now.
I suspect that some may be trying to get a "head start" on that "program" ...
