I did not say it was better elsewhere, just different. It is more overt in this part of NM than I have seen elsewhere.

In the 1940’s 33 Hispanic homesteading families were removed by force from the Los Alamos plateau so that today we may have the nation’s wealthiest Anglo community residing in northern New Mexico? And that community (Los Alamos) then, in a single generation created an environmental disaster in the making (contamination of the aquifer) that threatens traditional Hispanic and Native American communities downstream for generations to come, and they—these Hispanic and Native American communities, are the one’s who are racists?

Northern NM is quite racist on multiple levels. Los Alamos is certainly not absent these attitudes either, but the real ugliness in this regard lies off the hill. Traditional Hispanics hate Mexicans (meaning direct and recent immigrants from Mexico). Native Americans hate Hispanics. And on and on and on. This is an interesting area because so many different cultures come together. It also means that the ugly side of this comes out at times, sometimes frequently. I have both witnessed it and had it directed at me first hand. Many times. Including in Los Alamos, but not nearly as frequently or overtly as off the Hill. Other parts of the state don't seem to be nearly as bad as this area, which I mostly attribute to the many different cultures that are collected here. Rest of the state does not have this to the same extent.<BR/><BR/>If the lab were to fold and folks like me left, despite your joy over this prospect, this area really would turn for the worst.

You lab bashers that are local (just just remote trolls) all deserve it. We actually have marketable skills that will pay us well elsewhere as well. It is true that fry cooks are needed all over the place too, but the pay is the same. Without LANL pumping up the economy, you will find the fry cook business pays less than it did before and will pay equivalent to, oh, I don't know, Jackson, Mississippi.

Oh yea, give us a few billion to "understand" the problem first, then once we start running out of those funds give us a few billion more to model a solution and then, after that, a few billion more to begin impementing the solution and then, after that, a few billion more to monitor our solution, then a few billion more after that to fix the solution and by then, I'm ready to retire.
