More New Mexico facts

Okay, latest information to hit the news- 

New Mexico has the highest rate of rape in the United States. National average is 1 out of  women have been raped. In New Mexico, the number is 1 out of 4. That's an increase of 20 percent. 

And those numbers do not include males or children under the age of 12.

So, with so many people having told me my views are skewed, I decided it is far past time to defend my position with hard information. I'm not including references. Anybody wants to argue the point can look up the same information.

New Mexico has the highest rate of child and adult hunger of all the states.

55 percent of the residents of this state are dependent in some way on the federal government. That number does not include people dependent on state or local government. 

The literacy rate in this state is lower than Mexico. The statistics vary from source to source because of differing methods. However, all the numbers agree. 

This is the only state to have decreased in population for at least the last 3 consecutive years. 

It's well known that the Albuquerque Police Department is being investigated for excessive use of deadly force. Top that off with several incidents of excessive force by the State Police which made the national news. 

I think that's enough. Most of the rest is personal view. Outdated management methods based on standards that never actually worked. Dependent mentalities and possessive social values. Apathy as a cultural standard. Education and intelligence viewed as a negative. (But tattoos are a positive.) Not looking it up but I would guess New Mexico has one of the highest percentages of prison convicts (present and past). 

All of that and I am made to defend my views? Only for people who agree with the standards here.
