Re: “Homelessness solution: Welcome to Bachville”
Bachvilles?!?!?!?!?! That's not what the homeless call them. Last homeless camp I saw had a sign that said "Obamaville - Americas fastest growing community". I'll go ahead and take their word for it over the arrogant douchebaggery spouted by a non-sensical leftist.

Re: “Want to support John Morse?”
Kevin McClarty - Your list has many problems. 1. The NRA did not start the recall process, local citizens did. 2. Morse is not being recalled because of his support for background checks, he is being recalled to his support of magazine capacity limits, increased tax on gun purchases, liability for sellers of guns, and for specifically saying that he doesn't listen to the "toxic" opinions of his constituents because it "weighs on his psyche". 3. A recall does not somehow diminish the Constitutional rights of voters. It actually gives people more of a voice in government. People are given the opportunity to speak directly to their elected officials and voice their opposition to his actions. Since he doesn't read constituent's letters, maybe he will take notice of the results of a special election.
Power to the people works both ways. This recall takes power from the rich elite like Bloomberg, and gives it back to the little guy.

Re: “Mayor Bach: Recreational marijuana is 'public-safety issue'”
CO...hard to know what is extremely well paying for a pot head...I just don't want to have to pay for pot caused cancer. So a registry would put you in a pool with other people who engage in risky behaviors and lack healthy habits so you all are covered by your own higher premiums equal to your collective risk. And there are already classes for drinkers and smokers, I would just include pot heads.
I am a perfectly happy and healthy guy who with siggie likes to jazz up all you weirdos with your pants below your butts with a dose of reality, giving you something other than your self justifying thinking on subjects to save you from yourselves and from your ruining our country.

Re: “Homeless population growing, survey shows”
The reasons for homelessness are not as simple as "They've made a mess of their life." Please note the 755 children reported homeless by two school districts, accounting for 64% of the total 1,171 reported homeless in El Paso County. Yes, there are entire families who are homeless. They were most likely hanging on to the American dream with their fingernails before the recession but lay-offs, lack of employment opportunities, minimum wage stagnation, rising gas, food and other costs, etc. tossed them even further down the economic ladder. Did they mess up their lives or even choose their situation? Bad things CAN happen to good people. A little compassion can go a long way...

Re: “Bach plays paperboy for Gazette”
Nothing surprises me about the cozy relationships Bach, the Gazette, the Koch Bros., AFP have with each other. I'm happy there's an honest paper like the Independent to be our eyes and ears because we certainly won't get the truth from the rest of media in this city.

Re: “Mayor Bach: Recreational marijuana is 'public-safety issue'”
TT -- Why a registry for legal adult recreational marijuana users? Is there a registry for alcohol or tobacco? Do they test public assistance recipients for alcohol, tobacco, or RX drugs used illegally? You obviously care what other people do since you continue to harass, harangue, b*tch, moan, and whine a whole lot about other people and their situations... I wonder what ever happened to you to turn you into such a miserable human being?
BTW, I have had an extremely well-paying job my entire life and career as do most of my other pot-using friends. I think you'd be surprised at the true demographics of this particular topic.

Re: “Swimming with Sharks”
These stories are just awful. On one hand, some lenders are really predatory and use fraud to make money. On the other hand, I think that homeowners should be more cautions. A mortgage or a home loan is a serious financial commitment and you should make payments in time to stay in your home. Even 1 missed payment can impact the situation. Also it’s worth to choose the lender more carefully and to be more responsible about your loan. If you will understand that you have no money to proceed making payments in the right time then it will be easier to fix the problem and to avoid so frustrating consequences.

Judy: perhaps you could challenge dan to show proof of his statement. Even you should be able to contest the substance of "lying sack of feces".

Re: “Want to support John Morse?”
Judy, Judy, Judy: I guess I just heard from another loud-mouthed liberal. You and your liberal bretheren can espouse any point of view you like. However, when you or anyone else makes false claims and unsubstantiated statements, they will be challenged. I guess liberals believe they can get away with saying anything they please and if challenged, then the insults and name calling ensue. Since I'm not as thin-skinned as the average loony liberal, I'm likely to not lose a great deal of sleep over it.
Now, please point out all punctuation and grammar errors so that I might improve. (Sister Verona would be aghast, if she knew.)

Re: “Homeless population growing, survey shows”
Why would you ask someone who has made a mess of their life how we should go about fixing it...if they knew they could just do it as it is their responsibility and not ours.
Not to mention that because they remain in the ditch means they don't have a clue.
Maybe those of us whose lives are well ordered can show them what to do...like the same things we were told...pay attention in school, go to work clean and obedient, don't drink and take care of your children...this list is long and obvious.

Re: “Want to support John Morse?”
Siggie,
You are wose than a "loud mouthed" liberal. You appear to be narrow minded and very intolerant of anyone who has a different point of view than yours. You seem to think very highly of yourself. You behave in a very childish, attacking, and irrational manner. People have a right to their opinion and should be able to express their point of view without you jumping up on your conservative intolerant pedestal to hurl insults at someone who happends to have a different point of view. People have different points of view, just because it is not your point of view does not mean you need to behave like a child. By the way, you need to work on your grammar and punctuation skills.

Re: “Want to support John Morse?”
Could not believe the radio commercial I heard today trying to protect John Morse. I was not following this at all. Today however, I heard a radio ad telling me to lock my doors, hide the children and panic in pure fear. Why? because some people were trying to get a petition signed. Talk about domestic terrorism. It sounds a lot like the police unions out east saying run for your lives because you won't pay us enough money to protect you. New version of the mob. Posting anonymously for fear of retribution since there is no free speech anymore.

The more people carrying guns, the safer we all are...nobody messes with an armed man, so if everyone is armed, everyone toes the line.

Re: “Want to support John Morse?”
Please take a quick look at my article in which I point out how ridiculous the NRA's logic is in initiating this recall against Senator Morse. Please take a look at all five lists (photos) and read the texts for each one to get the full impact of how ill-informed the NRA is in its arguments. Thank you! -Kevin McClarty, Examiner.com commentator.

I thought this was primarily a gay weekly, and now I see the audience is primarily dopers.
