An apology in advance

[laylah]

to my DU family members in Arizona. I have a new avatar, I hope you understand my sentiments behind it. If I offend anyone, PLEASE do let me know, and, should I agree with your argument (not attacks, arguments), I will change it. In the meantime, Brewer, Arpaio, illegal immigration, determining a Latino class taught is unconstitutional, the MURDERS, assignation attempt, and wounding of innocents yesterday, compelled me to do this.

1. please

BAJA ARIZONA--AMERICA'S 51st STATE ?

An enormous mistake was made on December 30, 1853 when the Gadsden Treaty was signed between the United States and Mexico. The northern part of the Mexican state of Sonora, an area located south of the Gila River, was purchased by the United States, and tacked into what became the State of Arizona.

The people of the Gadsden Purchase have increasingly chafed under the domination of an enormous population in an around Phoenix (Maricopa County). In order to end the domination of Phoenix, the people of the Gadsden Purchase are seeking statehood. Proclaiming themselves as Baja Arizona, a "state of mind" is acknowledged to exist.

The primary differences between Baja Arizona and the remainder of Arizona are of attitude and tolerance. The people of Baja Arizona are known throughout the southwest for their enlightened view of the world. This is obviously not the case with the passaged of SB 1070 making it illegal to be an illegal in Arizona.

In Baja Arizona people fight for civil rights. In Maricopa County they are jailing immigrants.

2. Ptah...dear Ptah...

"please" what? Am I to assume I offended you, something I would never wish to do? Yes, I am slow on the uptake...in your own words, please?

3. All of Arizona does not suck.

Your avatar is a broadbrush attack.

:hi:

[laylah]

5. I agree...I really

do...your one civil "argument" is enough...I will find something else. Bless your heart. :hug:

4. Please, just tell me

how to express my anger...because, like many of us, I am terrifically PISSED off over the unnecessary violence of yesterday.

11. I don't know how to express the anger I feel either.

Thanks for taking my point of view into consideration.

6. Gabby is an Arizonan, elected by Arizonans, being treated by Arizonans

The little girl and the others that were killed or wounded are Arizonans. They don't suck.Your avatar is what sucks. Take it down.

7. Yo onenote...

I said CIVIL...look it up. Ptah had already convinced me... Personal attacks...is that how you think you can win? GRRRRRRRRRR, I will bite my tongue. :mad:

8. My criticism was directed at your avatar, not you.

You invited criticism. I offered it. I think your avatar sucked. I think you are actually quite responsible for inviting criticism and heeding it.

[laylah]

9. I have always ascribed to

"it is not what you say, it is HOW you say it."

[laylah]

13. I know that...now...

I have never done well with being "told" what to do...lol!

Thank you for your input. I think this avatar is much more appropriate, don't you?

:hug:

Jenn

[onenote]

14. Peace.

Always appropriate. Again, my thanks to you.

10. Since it annoyed you, I have to say (hoping to relax you a bit) that it was

an attack on the avatar in my opinion, not a personal attack.

[laylah]

12. Thank you...

my knee-jerk reaction was a response to how s/he worded their displeasure. I AM thin skinned...hell, I cry at Maxwell House coffee and Hallmark card commercials...LOL!

:hug:
