I already indicated my own qualms about Vermejo Park and that I agreed largely with your views on that. But if you were to judged on one action you took in your lifetime while ignoring decades of good actions I'm sure you have undertaken, I would decry that too if in a position to know and to do so. I should think you would want others to do so for you as I would likewise hope you could do for others.

*Given Vermejo Park Ranch stretches over two counties of New Mexico and two in Southern Colorado you could conceivably live in New Mexico, but given your comments on Ludlow Massacre, I'm assuming it is Colorado.
