Arizona, like many states, faces problems that are not of its own making. In attempting to address them, Arizona has become the subject of ridicule and boycott from the national media. Even Jon Stewart made fun of us.
Americans have always loved space. Another generation remembers watching the sky for signs of satellites, or gathering around the television to watch the first moon landing, and as children we played astronauts and dreamed of exploration, even decades after the last great steps in space travel.
The May 6 general election in the United Kingdom may be a glimpse into a possible American future.
