Camped at City of Rocks State Park, Faywood NM, March 14, 2009
It's been a while
A bit over two years in fact, since I last spent some time at City of Rocks State Park. I miss it - it's one of my favorite New Mexico State Parks. I'll be heading up there for a few days once my rent runs out here at the end of the month.
I can hardly wait to see if I can get some better pictures of the rocks than I got on my earlier visits. Meanwhile I'll put up a few old ones here.

Emergent democracy
Culture brings us together, usually at a very small scale through mutual belief, trust and common interest. It educes, not compels, behavior. Culture codified is law. It is as inevitable as the day the night that as scale increases, law increases. Law enforced is government. Government does not, in the main, educe behavior, but compels it. Democratic or otherwise, rarely, very rarely, does any concentration of power or wealth desire to see subjects well informed, truly educated, their privacy ensured or their discourse uninhibited. Those are the very things that power and wealth fear most. Old forms of government have every reason to operate in secret, while denying just that privilege to subjects. The people are to be minutely scrutinized while power is to be free of examination.
