- Now this is just plain stupid. Gee then it's very possible
- that every state in the union would pass such a law except they are
- afraid of a boycott. So hey lets boycott everyone!! Who cares what
- they do, _we_ know what they are thinking.
-
- Y'all starting to sound nuts.
-
- Let's try this again...
-
- I did not vote for 2, the majority in my (Colorado based) company did
- not vote for 2, my city did not vote for 2 and my county did not vote
- for 2. So why do you want to punish me?
-
- This is an unconstitutional law, it will be thrown out, we all know it.
- So then I ask, is your boycott to convince the people of this state to
- overturn the law? Or is it (as I suspect) drivin by a desire to punish?i
