- There was an article in the Denver Post yesterday about how many
- religious groups have moved into Colorado Springs in the last 12 years.
- Something like 19. Colo Spgs actively recurited them to relocate.
- I have this sinking feeling that admendment 2 is only the _first_
- thing that we will see originating out of Colo Spgs. Some republican from
- Colo Spgs in the legislature just announced that this is his last term, he's
- going to run for governer. I don't know alot about him but I would not
- be suprised if a part of his campaign were to center around
- "conservative religious values".
-
- Admendment 2 failed in the Denver metro area. It passed in the rural
- areas and southern areas by a big margin. You can't quite say that
- the locals didn't pass it. I doubt that the areas (excluding the Springs)
- where admendment 2 passed have large numbers of people from elsewhere.
- Most migration into Colorado is into the front range area. They were
- the people who voted it down. My point being that a lot of small
- agricultural communities voted for it and there weren't enough votes
- in the large metro or ski areas to compensate.
-
- Intolerance is intolerance and not a christian value.
- I tolerate the religious right, and they should have to tolerate
- other peoples divergent beliefs(including mine).
