- Let's say this is just the hypothetical nonsence that it is! There is
- no such town in Colorado. If your buisness is in boulder, denver, or
- aspen then it's highly doubtfull you'd be discriminated against by
- "people in this town". If your buisness was elsewhere in the state,
- then you would have been free to fire the guy (or gal) w/o ammendment 2.
