    So it's ok to put a sin tax on ammo then right? Or maybe put heavy taxes on ranges, they take up so much space and they're so noisy.
    It only affects this who choose to engage in a non-essential activity, won't affect ME at all.

    Or hey, let's ban those evil black assaulting guns with their high capacitor clips. Completely unnecessary. If you need that much to drop a deer you shouldn't be hunting, I do just fine with my granddaddy's .30-06. I say we ban them, it won't affect ME none just the people that choose to mess with them. It's fer da childrens!

    If that's your line of thinking, sorry but you're just as bad as the libs. Go away.

    I find it hard to believe that most people here don't want to know if they are eating GMO food?

    Unless you grow every thing at home, you'll never know. That label / law is for items grown here. It has no bearing on food items imported. If you read labels when you shop, little is grown in the USA. Forget about fish.

    The amount of folks who don't look where an item is from, IMO, is staggering. I challenge everyone to buy fruits & veggies that are locally grown , from now till march. Figure 50-85% of said items are from central & south American areas. The last bell peppers i saw were tagged Holland. Those are approx. 1 week old once they hit the shelves, locally.

    Based upon your location and the 3-4 choices you / i have to shop. Take 2 carts as you browse. Cart 1 is what you normally buy. Cart 2 will be items from cart 1 Grown in the USA, NOT packages in, but grown here. Cart 2 is going to be sparse. If it's not USA grown we pass. For dries spices, it's from Mexico. If not your choices are China and or Indonesia.

    Even Whole Foods gets their products from overseas.

    SO....after a long winded post is why i'll vote NO on GMO

    Really? I find it harder to believe some people say they weren't going to bother voting this year. Talk about things that make you shake your head...

    It is okay to gamble and smoke weed. It's damn annoying that everything seems to be tied to funding schools though. I feel like hardly any of that money actually ever makes it into the actual schools.

    Ya but it's cool to tell your friends and neighbors that you voted for the "school levy".

    Next we'll have "Shall the constitution of CO allow XYZ Company, and ONLY XYZ Company, to produce and sell 30 round ammunition magazine clips in Denver, Pueblo and Mesa County only? X% of revenue will go to fund public schools."

    This is what frustrates me about these issues, the people writing them KNOW they will not pass, so they say it is for the children and people vote for it. If they wrote a law taxing guns stores an additional 10% per year, but the first 2% of the first 4% goes to schools people would vote for it since they wont do the math or think it through. They just see one thing, "its for schools", Rhode Island saw it worked for pot smoking and is just using the same tactic.

    I personally will vote no on it, I am not in favor of giving the state government more money they will misuse.

    That's pretty much where I'm at. I automatically assume that if funding schools is involved, there is something wrong with what is being voted on.

    While I support raising money for public education when needed, the past has proven more money isn't fixing the educational problem in the USA. We as a society have been throwing money at schools for decades, and the education our children receive isn't rising with the influx of cash. Instead of smarter kids, we get common core curriculum. Enough is enough. It's time to change the system not the funding. And the system will not change if we keep supporting it as is.
