Government for the people, by the people...Fred, your eggs are in this basket so your opinion is clearly driven by economic motives. Put it to a vote by the residents of the city of Steamboat, since it is we who will be most effected by it. Has anyone noticed the mass exodus of people from the valley? The now almost defunct construction industry provided (I'm guessing) 1/4 to 1/2 of the jobs in this valley, if you include "support industries", maybe more, to consider annexing this boondoggle is completely asinine in my opinion. Big Box retail? Are you joking? The population of this town may drop to under 7K after this is all said and done...we have no industry, tourism is dropping, we are entering survival mode people! Put it to a vote!
Tai....I often respond to this thread in ways just to "get a rise" out of people, it's kind of a sport for me. I do realize that the catholic church does do some good, feeding the poor, housing the homeless, etc., but it is all under the guise of gathering more support. My disgust is with the religious (wrong) right, and all those who attempt to force their narrow world view on others. Organized religion, christians and muslims being the greatest offenders, need to perpetuate their respective hypocracy ad infitum in order to rationalize their existence. Christians and Muslims both actively seek to convert people, sometimes rather coercively, to their respective causes buy using lies and half truths based upon the selected writings of their so called prophets, people who were in fact probably quite mad themselves. Sexual repression as practiced by these faiths is a product of a patriarchal need to control the masses, specifically women and children, in order to control the next generations. In terms of reproductive choice, a fetus is a conglomeration of cells, like a wart, that(unlike a wart) has the potential to grow into a human being. Until the fetus is delivered it is part of a women's body, a parasite per se, and she should be free to do with it as she sees fit.
lithamarie...the catholic church did protect hundreds of priests accused and convicted of molesting children. In Ireland, state sponsored catholic schools condoned through inaction the molestation and abuse of thousands of children. The catholic church has aided greatly the spread of AIDs, especially in Africa, by its prohibition of condoms. The catholic church is responsible for the annihilation of native cultures all over the world, and stood by silently while hitler murdered millions of Jews during WWII. Your beloved papacy has been looting the wolrld for millennia!
The Catholic Church, one of reproductive right's biggest opponents, has been protecting the pedophiles in its ranks for millenia, what great family values this institution represents!
