>We've been discussing the new law that Arizona just passed that pertains to illegal immigration. Check it out.

I've been reading Cormac McCarthy, particularly The Crossing, but also All the Pretty Horses and Blood Meridian. It's not the first sentence, but almost
'The new country was rich and wild. You could ride clear to Mexico and not strike a crossfence.'

Well, the American who organised the Sydney Writers Festival this year was saying that CMcC got the idea for The Road by looking out of his window in El Paso. He said 'I don't know if you know El Paso, but if you do that may make sense'.

He has a wonderful sense of if not nostalgia then regret for ruined landscape.
