Reflectometry, in northern New Mexico would be looked upon as another stupid idea the Gringos came up with and ignore it or shoot out power lines.

Been there, many times and I've heard the bravado you express before too, and in communities that have since been destroyed. Once the welfare dependents and bureaucrats outnumber the working residents, that picture starts to change. Give it ten years and you won't recognize the place unless you win the battle the right way.

Good points. El Rito, north of Abiquiu, for instance, is now basically a liberal/progressive enclave. The government is their god.
