Tagline, you know, that little sentence below New Mexico on the state forums. Some have them, some not. Sort of a catchy id to define the state and our purpose in one line. Humorous or otherwise should/could we do this?
We started this but it fell by the wayside. Perhaps for the best, as we have better things to do. But since I had a spare moment... if we were to add a tagline what would it be? SamD had suggested "Land of enhancement".
Any ideas?

    I think we need a good catch phrase for the state.  The proper wording could only help with promotions.  Before the little blue pill, Sams' phrase would have been ideal.  Different times need different messages to convey the real message.  I have been trying for some time to come up with a good slogan but nothing seems to fit.  The message is to important to be taken lightly, but humor can convey both the message and stick in the mind simultaneously.  That is why $/time is spent on advertising.  I certainly see the humor in Sams' tag line, but I don't think it will work for our purpose.  But, I haven't come up with anything better. (no pun intended)

Your version of "ineffective" does not necessarily reflect the truth....
Having been "ineffectively" taught to the Rifleman Standard and having been "ineffectively" taught to teach others to the Rifleman Standard, I believe I prefer the "ineffective" over the other choice.

"Where the sand and the bullets blow"

~Two Wolves

or "Where sand and bullets blow"
A moral compass provides a basis for making decisions; an action is good or bad, right or wrong when viewed in the light of the individual's moral bearing. If no moral compass exists for the individual, then decisions and actions are made on the basis of purely subjective thoughts. This leads to "If it makes me happy, or makes me feel good, or if it's something I simply want to do, then it is right and good."

Officially, the state question is, "Red or green?"

"Red or green? What do you mean?"

"I mean which do you want to shoot? Redcoats or greenie meanies?"

I like "Red or Green?...Coats". Or "We can see further than you can shoot!"  Or "A Rifleman behind every yucca."....O.L.

These are good.
I am leaning towards OL's. The "yucca" sorta captures the essence of the state. The "Rifleman" covers the AS part.
We can keep this thread alive for awhile and perhaps when we get done with our April shoots do a quickie poll.
We can still add more as we think of them. :~
