   Here’s a screencap of the full Playbuzz page, which I don’t seem to be able to link to, as well as the text below the picture —

   “You’re on the right and libertarian quadrant of the political spectrum! You prize individualism and personal liberty above all else. You believe in private property and the free market. You tend to be patriotic but you’re sceptical of the state and you find little to no value in government institutions. You believe that success depends on the individual’s ability to pull themselves up by their own boot straps and take advantage of the opportunities they have. You see taxes as a form of oppression and you believe that the greatest threat to freedom is big government. You believe in a society of independent and hard-working individuals who take care of themselves. You want big brother out of your bedroom, out of your bank account, and off your property!”

   Does anyone but me remember a few years ago when UNM built a brand new recreation building at the Main Campus for 48 million? Maybe stuff like that might have something to do with this?

   There’s that, and the fact when UNM fired football coach Mike Locksley after Locksley assaulted and battered one of his assistant coaches in 2011, UNM ended up giving Locksley a million or so to go away quietly. Maybe that sort of thing might have to do with New Mexico’s collegiate financial woes?

   Definitely a good bit of both (A) and (B).

   (Their fears as such give me the warm fuzzies.)
