    Don't lump Douglas in with that mess. We vote right out here.

    At least we do on the right-hand side of I-25. HR is filled with hippies.
    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    Colorado will no more allow counties to secede than the Federal Government will allow individual states to secede. Pure theatrics with no end result, plain and simple.

    Two of our staunchest supporters in the Colorado Legislature are from right here in Parker. Chris Holbert Congressional district 44 and Ted Harvey Senate district 30.

    Douglas county sure is a hell of a lot more red than some of the rural counties that elected Dumbocrats.

    Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
    Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
    Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."

    Someone's full of something, all right.

    Douglas county immediately voted to not allow any head shops after the legislation went through.

    Don't lump us in with the hippies.

    Both. We'd have to get the CO legislature's approval, and that of Congress.
