  14.   Speaking of fair-weather gay-rights activists...
  15.  
  16.    Notice how the strongest supporters of boycotting Colorado live outside the
  17. state? A boycott is a very easy thing to talk about when it doesn't impact your
  18. everyday lives, isn't it?
  19.    What should those of us who live here do? "Suffer for the cause?" I voted
  20. against #2. That about the extent of my political power. I would love to starve
  21. to ensure that it's overturned, but unfortunately idealistic wishes sometimes
  22. have to take a back seat to reality.
  23.    Why don't you "boycott Colorado" people get of your moral high-horses and
  24. face the facts: you are ALIENATING people like me who were (and in a sense
  25. still are) loyal to this cause, but are fast becoming disenchanted by your
  26. short-sighted tactics.
