I've done some research on the subject and given it some thought and if you don't want to be the host, I'll do it. Since there are only about 13 subscribers to this group none of whom show disruptive tendencies I don't see that hosting would be much work.

In the interests of full disclosure, If I'm the host, I'll allow almost anything Arizona except personel attacks.

I'm curious. It seems if I understand the stated purpose of the Arizona group is to discuss Arizona politics. In the year that I have been here, that has not exactly engendered much in the way of lively discussion. Would anybody object to opening the door a little wider to allow pretty much anything Arizona?

A few things just off the top of my head.
Arizona gardening. Growing things in this climate certainly presents challenges unlike anything I've experienced before. Last spring we planted three types of tomatoes, several types of peppers, a small herb garden and a Bogainvilla. Pretty much everything failed except the Bogainvilla. I'd certainly be interested in some imput from those more successful than I.

The Wildcats. I'm not really a sports fan but my BIL is a mucky muck at the UofA athletic dept so I'm kind of forced to pay attention. Arizona sports in general. The Diamond backs did real well last season. Hell, I'd even be willing to disciss the Sun Devils not withstanding the fact that in my household such discussions are tantamount to blasphemy.

Guns. Guns are certainly a uniqe aspect of Arizona culture. I'm not talking about RKBA. If you want to go there you can go to the gun group and wear out your keyboard arguing that stuff. I'm thinking more along the lines of what do you have, what do you use it for, where do you go to play with em etc.

I don't know, maybe I'm just blowing smoke here but It would be nice to see a little more activity in the Az. group.
