Saintly Tourism begs you to take note of the following Holy Decree by the
Albuquerque City Council: they have apparently decided to pay thousands of
dollars to erect a memorial statue near Old Town part of which is a figure of
Onate the "first" Spanish one to make it into "New Mexico"
and who because of his (gag) moral behavior was banished for life from the place
by his own Spanish people (e.g., he cut off the feet of Pueblo Indians who dared
to resist his Divine Right to Go Where He Damn Well Pleases).)
