Re: “Mill Outlet Fabric Shop”
Well it used to be a great store until prices went sky high! Then I applied for a job there and met the arrogant, male shavanist pig that interviewed me and now I have an entirely different perspective of the place. I was asked questions like "are you married" and when he noticed my zip code on the application he said, "oh you live in the ritzy Broadmoor neighborhood!" I was appalled! He told me if I were hired it was my job to make the store money, not save the customers money by teaching them how to do something or sew. I would have to ask his permission on most everything. Maybe that's why the employee moral is so low! I know I sure wouldn't want to work for the man! Everything is so much cheaper at Wal Mart or Hancock Fabrics. And the people smile and help you.

Re: “Viewing civil unions from the pulpit”
Forgive me Mr K, but it has been 25 years since I was a Pentecostal apprentice minister, so if anyone would like to check my source on Biblical matters, I highly recommend a few books by Dr. V.P. Wierwille: Power for Abundant Living, Receiving the Holy Spirit Today and Jesus Christ our Passover. All are available on amazon.com and are part of the Power for Abundant Living Biblical research series that he wrote. Amazing stuff folks!

Re: “How (not) to hit Colorado College kids with your car”
The drivers' smugness and lack of basic humanity is appalling! I fear for my life every time I cross Nevada - always using the crosswalk. Most drivers speed by as if the clearly marked signs did not exist. And most give me a nasty look when they stop.

Re: “Really, Mr. Mayor?”
Hey, Adrian, are you just now figuring out how "the system" works? Goes like this: Anschutz buys the Broadmoor resort, then buys the G as an advertising outlet for all his hotel amenities and attractions. Then, to make sure everything goes smoothly and according to Anschutz' plan, he greases all the local politicos to do what he wants. The pols are thus sensitized to Anschutz' desires and vice versa. So, it should come as no surprise that the Broadmoor supports moving the homeless away from downtown because it is bad for business generally and bad for the Broadmoor. See how this works?

Wikipedia :Homosexual behavior in other animals
Roy and Silo, two New York Central Park Zoo male Chinstrap Penguins similar to those pictured, became internationally known when they coupled and later were given an egg that needed hatching and care, which they successfully did.[243]
Homosexual, bisexual and transgender behaviors occur in a number of other animal species. Such behaviors include sex, courtship, affection, pair bonding, and parenting[13] and are very widespread: a 1999 review by researcher Bruce Bagemihl shows that homosexual behavior has been observed in close to 1500 species, ranging from primates to gut worms, and is well documented for 500 of them.[13][14]
Animal sexual behaviour takes many different forms, even within the same species. The motivations for and implications of these behaviors have yet to be fully understood, since most species have yet to be fully studied.[244] According to Bagemihl, "the animal kingdom [does] it with much greater sexual diversity—including homosexual, bisexual and nonreproductive sex—than the scientific community and society at large have previously been willing to accept."[245]

Re: “Viewing civil unions from the pulpit”
Also: it is a scientific and biological fact that there is homosexual behavior in animals, especally in respect to overpopulation studies. Too many rats in a cage produced a reversal to procreation.

Re: “Viewing civil unions from the pulpit”
Wikipedia: Paul the Apostle
Paul the Apostle (Greek: Παῦλος Paulos), original name Saul of Tarsus (Greek: Σαῦλος Saulos),[4] was a Christian missionary who took the gospel of Christ to the first-century world.[5] He is generally considered one of the most important figures of the Apostolic Age and one of the greatest religious leaders of all time.[6] [7] In the mid-30s to the mid-50s, he founded several churches in Asia Minor and Europe. Being a Jew and a Roman citizen were ideal pedigrees for his ministry to both Jewish and Roman audiences.[5]
A native of Tarsus, the capital city in the Roman province of Cilicia,[2] he wrote that he was "a Hebrew born of Hebrews", a Pharisee,[8] and one who advanced in Judaism beyond many of his peers. He zealously persecuted the early followers of Jesus and violently tried to destroy the newly-forming Christian church. Paul's dramatic conversion experience with the risen Jesus on the road to Damascus dramatically changed the course of his life.[5] He did not know Jesus during his lifetime as did the Twelve Apostles, but he was the first apostle whose only experience with Jesus was after the Resurrection and Ascension.[9]
After his conversion to Christ, he began to preach that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah and the Son of God.[10] His leadership, influence, and legacy led to the formation of communities dominated by Gentile groups that worshiped the Lord, adhered to the "Judaic moral code", but relaxed or abandoned the ritual and dietary teachings of the Law of Moses. He taught that these laws and rituals had either been fulfilled in the life of Christ or were symbolic precursors of Christ, though the exact relationship between Paul the Apostle and Judaism is still disputed. Paul taught of the life and works of Jesus Christ and his teaching of a New Covenant, or "new testament",[11] established through Jesus' death and resurrection.
About half of the New Testament stems from Paul and the people whom he influenced. Thirteen of the 27 books in the New Testament have been attributed to Paul, and approximately half of the Acts of the Apostles deals with Paul’s life and works. However, only 7 of the 13 letters can be accepted as being entirely authentic. The other 6 letters are believed to have come from followers writing in his name, using material from Paul's surviving letters and letters written by him that no longer survive.[6] [12] [5]
Today, his epistles continue to be deeply rooted in the theology, worship, and pastoral life in the Roman and Protestant traditions of the West, as well as the Orthodox traditions of the East.[13] Among the many other apostles and missionaries involved in the spread of the Christian faith,[5] his influence on Christian thought and practice has been characterized as being as "profound as it is pervasive".[13] Augustine of Hippo developed Paul's idea that salvation is based on faith and not "works of the law".[14] Martin Luther's interpretation of Paul's writings heavily influenced Luther's doctrine of sola fide. The Bible does not record Paul's death.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acts_of_the_…
Acts of the Apostles
Some believe that through this work, Luke intended to show the Roman Empire that the root of Christianity is within Judaism so that the Christians “may receive the same freedom to practice their faith that the Roman Empire afforded the Jews.”[15] Those who support the view of Luke’s work as political apology generally draw evidence from the facts that Christians are found innocent of committing any political crime[15] (Acts 25:25; 19:37; 19:40) and that Roman officials’ views towards Christians are generally positive. Also, Luke mentions a few Roman officials that believe in Jesus Christ (Acts 10:1-11:18; 13:12). The magistrates even apologize to Paul and Silas for wrongfully putting them in prison (Acts 16:38-39). By painting the Roman-Christian relations in this light, Luke hopes to persuade Rome that Christians are not enemies of the government and should not be looked upon with suspicion or even fear.
Apology on behalf of Rome addressed to the church: Whereas the claim above suggested that Luke was writing to Rome, this view proposes that Luke may be writing to the church in order to convince the saints of his own view that Rome is not a threat to the church.[15] This claim presupposes that early Christians were suspicious of Rome or feared Roman authority as a threat to their faith. Also, supporters of this view would characterize Luke’s portrayal of the Roman Empire as positive because they believe Luke “glosses over negative aspects of the empire and presents imperial power positively.”[15] For example, when Paul is before the council defending himself, Paul says that he is “on trial concerning the hope of the resurrection of the dead” (Acts 23:6). Some believe that this appeal “thereby shows Christian’s of Luke’s day both that their predecessors were innocent before the state and that Paul had no political quarrel with Rome”[15] but rather with the Jews who were accusing him. Other scholars have even said that Luke wrote this apology in order to support Christians who were becoming allies with local Roman officials.[15]
Some scholars believe that the apologetic view of Luke’s work is overemphasized and that it should not be regarded as a “major aim of the Lucan writings.”[14] While Munck believes that purpose of Luke’s work is not that clear-cut and sympathizes with other claims, he believes that Luke’s work can function as an apology only in the sense that it “presents a defense of Christianity and Paul”[17] and may serve to “clarify the position of Christianity within Jewry and within the Roman Empire.”[17] Pervo disagrees that Luke’s work is an apology and even that it could possibly be addressed to Rome because he believes that “Luke and Acts speak to insiders, believers in Jesus.” [18] Freedman believes that Luke is writing an apology but that his goal is “not to defend the Christian movement as such but to defend God’s ways in history.”[16]

Re: “Viewing civil unions from the pulpit”
Mr. K- Yes, the conversion of the Pharasee Sal to the Apostle can be found in the Book of Acts (of the Apostles after the assention of Christ). While incarsentated, Apostle Paul wrote the Epistles that are for the born again Christian Church. Acts 22: starts his telling of his conversion, Acts 28:17- His trail. As a citizen he had the rights listed below, and if he was harmed by any of the guards, they would receive the same but times two.
Roman citizenship Rights Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Citizenship in ancient Rome was a privileged political and legal status afforded to freeborn individuals with respect to laws, property, and governance.
• The right to have a legal trial (to appear before a proper court and to defend oneself).
• The right to appeal from the decisions of magistrates and to appeal the lower court decisions.
• A Roman citizen could not be tortured or whipped, nor could he receive the death penalty, unless he was found guilty of treason.
• If accused of treason, a Roman citizen had the right to be tried in Rome, and even if sentenced to death, no Roman citizen could be sentenced to die on the cross.

Re: “Colorado Springs gets A+ for small-biz friendliness”
I am glad I left Colorado Springs for the Denver metro area. There are so many more opportunities up here. One of the Springs largest obstacle is Mayor Steve Bach who hasn't done anything of substance to bring back the economic diversity that once existed. The only thing Bach does is attend social functions. Ironically even his own children have elected to live in the Denver area for the aforementioned reason.

Re: “Really, Mr. Mayor?”
The Indy is much more of a reporting entity than the Gazette, not to mention fair and balanced about local news...if the Gazette even carries anything that it is not spoon fed in a press release.
They have no reporters. They have no interest or insight.
And Bach is very fairly treated in these pages.

Re: “Really, Mr. Mayor?”
Adrian - don't know if you have ever heard the mayor at one of his "Town Hall Meetings" refer to the Independent reporters as that "tabloid's reporters." So, it seems if you aren't singing his praises you must be unreliable as a news source.
Problem is anyone who has been in this town long enough to remember when there was a daily paper OTHER than the GT, is well aware of the slanted reporting the current Gazette is publishing and calling it news. This community does not like to hear the "other side" of any story. So to you and your fellow Indy reporters - keep up the good fight. It is appreciated.

Re: “Viewing civil unions from the pulpit”
TejonTech, you write, "...typical liberal emotional defense of a position contrary to nature..." According to theologists, that is. Scientists do not find homosexual activity to be "contrary to nature." At one time anything other than missionary position was labeled contrary to nature (even though no animal, other than humans, practice it).

Re: “How (not) to hit Colorado College kids with your car”
Its the law of the road that motorists are suppose to stop when someone is in a crosswalk . I live downtown and frequently drive through the CC campus and have never had a problem with CC students at their crosswalks. I know that the people of this city believe that they are above law and order, but that sounds more like a personal problem rather than one for CC or CONO.

Re: “Colorado Springs gets A+ for small-biz friendliness”
The city gets "...'A+' grades for the ease of hiring additional employees in the city..." That means there is a large pool of unemployed workers in the city. That is a double-edged sword. It makes it easier to find employees, but harder to find customers.

Can they build a handful of crossing bridges on Cascade at the major arteries? it'll speed up traffic in the area and no one has to hit a CC student.
