The government will do well with higher profits from royalties. <br />- <a href="http://legacyroyalties.com/" rel="nofollow">LegacyRoyalties.com</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669105640597560856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11762382.post-51441085966825656812013-07-30T09:44:21.922-06:002013-07-30T09:44:21.922-06:00Lonesome Winsome Lonesome Winsome Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11762382.post-1662194087759060772013-07-29T18:01:41.687-06:002013-07-29T18:01:41.687-06:00A couple weeks ago Winsome Quigley wrote that New ...A couple weeks ago Winsome Quigley wrote that New Mexicans don't know who they are, or something to that effect. I saw some criticism of that column on Facebook, by proud New Mexicans, but in any event, the process of a people defining themselves, or of acquiring a sense of who they are, does take place, and certain people are in a position to influence that.<br /><br />Someone who writes well enough to appear in national publications, has lived here their whole life, was raised by and around people who lived here before New Mexico was a state, has been intimately involved in running different aspects of the state, knows how the state works, has a broad life experience, straddles the ethnic crease that runs through the middle of the state's psyche, has a wicked sense of humor, etc., would certainly be able to help give New Mexicans a sense of who they are, by way of a memoir, or a novel, or by editing and publishing numerous years of blog posts, or through any kind of writing. By way of photography, too.<br /><br />I don't know anybody like that of course but if I did I wonder if they might think about that. Even an article that says something in broad outlines sometimes proves to be very influential. It gets people thinking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
