A great pre-Thanksgiving post, and very appropriate.

    America needs to stop this now!!  What will the Democrats do differently?  Or will they ignore the problem?

Thanks for linking to this excellent series of articles.  The southwest is my favorite part of the country, visually, yet I know it is poisoned by mining, much of the land is chewed to bits by ORVs, amongst other problems.  

I just heard the Udall cousins discussing energy issues on CSPAN and Tom Udall, when asked about nuclear energy, said that our two areas of concern were what to do with the waste, and nuclear proliferation.  I think he forgot something.

Thanks for this, Sarah.

Tony Hillerman set one of his Joe Leaphorn/Jim Chee mysteries around Mount Taylor, not far north of Grants.  The cancers subsequent on working in the uranium mines near there were an important part of the story.

One would think that by now, the Navajos had enough friends to work out some decent decisions on civil suits.  But probably one would think wrong.  Anyway, when it is a question of life and death, the affected plaintiffs are already over the hill.

God have mercy on them.  And thank God for Tony Hillerman, their friend, for putting their story into a popular form.

Ever puzzling to me is the question of the two northern corners of the Navajo/Pueblo universe.  Mount Taylor is spectacular enough, in the southeast, and so are the San Francisco Peaks, near Flagstaff, AZ, in the southwest.  But I have never been convinced by any candidates NW and NE.

This looks like a case for Super-Willa!
