Ron, I am guessing General George Armstrong Custer would disagree with you if he could get the arrows outa his a** and mouth and while Arizona is absolutely the last bastion of the wild west it was not won by the repeating rife, it was won over by stealth, bombast, horse trading and booze. But that said, fast forward to current times and visit the Grand Canyon Skywalk and pay US$75 to walk for three minutes over the Grand Canyon and enjoy the privilege of what can be best described as payback time exacted by the locals on any visitors as retribution for bygone times. Add in casinos, oils wells and tax free status and then figure who are the real winners. Deep huh?
BTW, you tryin to pick a fight with them fine outstandin gents by callin' them OLD, remember, as they so told me, they is all packin' heat so be very careful, particularly of MikeC and Danr, they may whip you silly with one of their fine hats.
