What's wrong with CO?
AFAIK it's a square in the middle of the map. Illuminate me.

They've got Coors beer
whose slogan should be changed from "It's the water" to "It IS water".
However, it does go down easily on a hot summer day because it doesn't dehydrate you like normal beer does, so I guess it's got that going for it.

"It's the water" was an Olympia Beer slogan IIRC

I though that that was the StL city slogan?

It was Oly.
Used to be one of my favorites pre-Schlitz acquisition. Schlitz somehow managed to make Oly Gold taste just like their piss-in-a-bottle.

Every trace of anti-Semitism, or any form of race hatred cannot assist the oppressed, it can on the contrary only aid the exploiters. Workers of all nationality, religion or creed must stand together against the common enemy: capitalism."

all the dumass that moved from here are there
turning a beautiful piece of country I would be happy to live in,,,,,,,,,,into a crappy place with crapply laws, no manners or clues.
thanx,
bill
These miserable swine, having nothing but illusions to live on, marshmallows for the soul in place of good meat, will now stoop to any disgusting level to prevent even those miserable morsels from vanishing into thin air. The country is being destroyed by these stupid, vicious right-wing fanatics, the spiritual brothers of the brownshirts and redstars, collectivists and authoritarians all, who would not know freedom if it bit them on the ass, who spend all their time trying to stamp, bludgeon, and eviscerate the very idea of the individual's right to his own private world.

You'd love it as a visitor
To live there is another matter. It's terribly remote, I personally found the people of Denver to be utterly hateful (the most unctious, disgusting, backstabbing yuppies imaginable mixed with violent black and Mexican-American "cultures" mixed with trailer trash whites), Boulder even moreso (this is why liberals are universally hated), but some relief in the burbs where one finds Denverites who actually grew up in Colorado (and the townspeople outside Denver are great). It is of course unbelieveably spectacular, which is a damn shame of a waste of nature.

No Jobs above Code Grunt
for one. Thus my recent departure.
Local VC's are paralyzed and don't invest in anything. Impossible to start a tech company there. It is the center of telecomm (QWEST, ATT, Sprint, MCI, TimeWarner, Comcast all have HQ's there) but this industry is in the crapper.
Otherwise, I rather like it there.
That was lovely cheese.

Re: No Jobs above Code Grunt
Yep, I'm a shell grunt. I like it, but it's the same thing I was doing long ago.
Nothing ever changes in corpworld. Now the issue is straight EDI vs. XML - or as I call it, EDLie. An EDI record for a simple transaction is almost the same size as the transaction - a few lines. The EDLie XML is almost a page long of retina-stretching angle brackets.
There is always some pointless controversy in which the shitty idiom attempts to displace the better one, without any value-add and with much value-subtract. The shitty idiom always wins.
It's like the Western world is going insane.

Simple explanation for that.
All standards committees for that kind of stuff have telephone company guys on them. Their purpose is to make sure what is transmitted is as long as possible.
In not so few words, an AT&T guy explained that to me.

Wonderful scenery
Some of the most absolutely horrible people I have ever met. Extraordinarily class conscious attitudes everywhere. It has been a while since I've been there, but I can't see it changing anywhere other than in surface politeness.
I'd rather live in Mississippi. And I hate Mississippi.

It is much harder to be a liberal than a conservative. Why?
Because it is easier to give someone the finger than it is to give them a helping hand.
