- I am from colorado, true amendment #2 is a little of a disappointment
- for the state, but on the other hand, if that amendment doesnt effect
- you, Colorado is an excellent state to live in, i love it here, Boulder
- is a great city to live in, I do miss the diversity that i had living
- previously in boston, but boulder is fun and a great city to live
- in. Depends what you want for jobs, biotech and computer tech is
- pretty good in boulder.
-
- Dont anyone flame me on what i said about question #2, I did vote no
- on #2, but i dont think that discussions about colorado's politics
- should be discussed on this newsgroup, this is a travel group
- that discusses travel and locales, like the great ski areas that
- colorado has to offer, i grew up skiing NH and VT, believe me
- nothing compares to colorado as far as the east coast is concerned.
-
- South western colorado is beautiful too, especially in summer and fall.
-
- So feel free to contact me if you want to discuss colorado's beauty
