- What about the political climate of the state? I obviously don't
- know what your politics are, but you don't appear to have heard
- news about Colorado. From an email group for women in computer
- science that I read:

- So if you like the idea of moving to a state who's citizens support
- such legislature, by all means move to Colorado. Personally, I
- wouldn't want to live in a state which isn't interested in protecting
- the civil rights of _all_ of its residents.
