Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM, January 18, 2008
It's gone
My Verizon BroadbandAccess service that is, the service I so enjoyed here last year. This is being written later, Friday actually, during a rare moment when access suddenly appeared out of the ether.
This could be a problem. I have some work I want to do updating this site. And more importantly I have some banking and bill paying that need to get done in the next few days. I may have to move on. i hope not - this is a nice park and I'd like to drop anchor here for a while. I've been on the move since I left Twiltley Branch Campground, Collinsville MS way back on December 15th and I need a break. Besides, New Mexico was my destination for the winter and here I am!

Site 7 - Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM
- Verizon cell phone service - good signal
- Verizon EVDO service - very good signal and access speed ( I have to qualify this - during my January 2008 visit the signal and access speed was excellent - in January 2009 it was practically non-existent during the day and slow at night with unpredictable short periods of excellent access)

This is Easy
Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.
