Re: “How (not) to hit Colorado College kids with your car

We already have signals at Cascade/Cache La Poudre and Cascade/Uintah. If CC students and faculty want to jay walk in between these two traffic lights, enter at your own risk, I say. Meanwhile, let the motoring public travel in peace. Oh, and to Wayne Laugesen and the Gazette, hang it in your ear. There's no need for an "underpass."

I'm thinking that all of the cry-baby, bitch at everything, pessimist, naysayers, who believe that Colorado Springs is such a horrible place, will reject this outright.

Re: “How (not) to hit Colorado College kids with your car

Jazus! Give the kids a break. Cascade, between Uintah and Cache La Poudre is basically a free for all with the kids having the 'right of way'. I drive it nearly every day and don't see a problem. However, I do fear that some nimrod motorist is going to come flying through and run over someone.
Now, the same stretch on Nevada is a whole different problem.

Re: “How (not) to hit Colorado College kids with your car

the crosswalks on Cascade where these students rudely delay drivers should have control signals - red lights - that tell them when they cannot cross.
There should be a CC police officer handing out citations every once in a while.
How else are these children going to learn good citizenship ?

The current situation assumes that CC students are all 5 years old and need to be protected from themselves. They're not.

Re: “My Little Pony Equestria Girls

This movie is from DHX, made by the FiM team. If there's anybody on the face of the planet earth who could made this good, it is them. They've spent the past 65 episodes proving that cartoons intended for girls don't have to suck, so their track record is unimpeachable. However, there is the chance their style could not translate well to the new demographic, but I trust Jayson Thiessen's team to do well here.

Re: “Viewing civil unions from the pulpit

Yeah well I think you've proven you know neither "love" nor "peace", TejonTech. What I read is the vitroil of an isolated and fearful man. It's sad really, because you drive far more people away than you'll ever attract.

Do you really believe your own bullshit, Ken? Sounds to me like you're on the Manitou payroll.

Re: “How (not) to hit Colorado College kids with your car

Seems like every four or five years, or whenever CC gets a new president, area motorists are pressed into action to fight some cockamamie plot to close down one lane in each direction of Cascade. And, now to deal with their supposed problem, we also might have to fight "lane dieting" on adjacent arteries like Nevada! Enough, I say. Let's tell CC and CONO to forget about it and leave the vast majority of residents and commuters alone. Let's have City staff focus on more pressing traffic problems.

Re: “How (not) to hit Colorado College kids with your car

The students are very cocky and practically dare you to hit them. They cross without looking and take their time doing it. The crosswalks are for pedestrians, not bicycles, long boards, and other other means of transportation. They are college students but do not seem to have a brain in their heads based on the way the behave when crossing the street. I stopped to allow students to cross a few months ago and ended up getting rear-ended. There were students slowly meandering across the street knowing they were holding up traffic. It was very rude and they need to grow up and learn some manners. Once in a while you may get a polite waive, but more often then not they go about their own business without a care in the world or concern for anyone else. Cut your dread locks, take a shower, and act like somewhat intelligent adults. Also, it would be a very intelligent move if they stopped before entering the crosswalk to make sure the driver's see them. That is just common sense, you need to make eye contact with the pedestrian or driver to make sure they are aware of what is going on. Just a thought.

Re: “20- and 30-somethings find little hope, hospitality within recent city politics

What is prophesized in the Bible can't be stopped, even the New World order. Don't you think that maybe God has a backup plan for those who accepted Christ as Lord and Savior (not believing in the Pope, TT) called...... The Hope of the Return of Christ! Haven't you ever read 1 Thessalonians? It's all about how Christ returns FOR the born again believers, then Armageddon & book of Revelations happens, then Christ returns WITH the saints to reclaim earth from Satan, the god of this world, and re-establishes Eden when he got from Adam disobeying Gods commandment not to eat the fruit of knowledge. Bet you didn't know that!

Yeah, that's another one of those books in the NT most don't know of. Romans 5:9-Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath through him. This gives me much comfort when knowing how that state of the world is in modern times. Something to think about.

Re: “Viewing civil unions from the pulpit

I also thought of another great example of why we need to have the separation of Church and State: Not only did Apostle Paul use his Roman Citizenship to have a fair trail when the Jews wanted him excuted for converting to Christianity and blaspheme again OT ( He was the Father to the born again Christian Church whereas Apostles Peter and James started the Catholic Church on the grounds of sticking to traditional pagen holidays- Easter is the holiday for the goddess Ester, not the Final Passover as it actually should be.)

You are going to love this TT.... Martin Luther also used his German citizenship to save his life when the Catholic Church summons him to Rome as a Jesuit priest for heresy, but he petitioned the German King for his trail to be held in a German city so he could be protected because he knew he would be assinated if he traveled to Rome. Remember him? He's the guy with the 96 thesis against the abominations within the Catholic Church? He left the Catholic Church and started the Reformation Church... got married to a former nun and lived another 30 years as the main Biblical Scholar for the King at a University in Germany.

Remember indulgences? Remember if you don't accept Jesus we will kill you period in European history? That is why the French and American constitutions added this clause in 1780s just so that any governing Church could never pull this crap again.

Remember the Inquisition? How they used church doctrine to kill thousands of pegans to take their land, indigenous people in South and North America and other believers like wicca and keltic and such? No, you seem to like to hold a rosey colored view of Catholic Church history.

Re: “Manitou eliminates free parking (and the much-beloved battle for it)

I heard Manitou is also installing a shuttle from a parking lot down the way - which would help too. I don't think the whole parking meter thing is a big deal, especially if it helps pay for a shuttle system. Manitou parking has always been dreadful, even in Winter. So maybe this will help with that problem some. And to all you saying you won't go to Manitou anymore - I guess time will tell.

Now we will be able to find parking spaces because they won't be all taken earlier by shop employees who squat there all day wondering why no one is in their shops.

Meters stimulate a constant flow of open spaces...it works in the Springs just fine.
