Re: “Anti-fracking group sues city”
Good for these guys suing the city.
We don't have water to wash our cars...and fast money, fat cat investors want to use our water up for fracking, their personal get rich quick scam.
Setting up oil derricks all around our town, burning off excess natural gas into the air we not they breath is contrary to our whole image as a community, damaging our health, and turning us into a boom town rather than a mature and settled place to raise our children.
Don't give the already wealthy who go on cruises and spend the weekends at their lodges in Maine screw up the little bit of health and well-being we have eked out here in the Springs.

Re: “FAC theater director Scott RC Levy makes his acting debut”
Saw the preview of Drowsy Chaperone last night and it was so much fun! The entire cast was terrific, the orchestra fabulous, and Scott Levy just made the show--he was the best part! Went home singing with a smile on my face...what more could you ask for.

Re: “La Carreta, Yoo Mae, Thai Lily Cuisine and Yakitori 8”
The hallmark of Yakatori is an awful looking building in a bad strip mall from the '60's for which someone must have a strong immune system to even pass by, let alone go into the place and darn eat the food...I can't imagine what grows on the floor of a Yakatori's.

Re: “Kudos for King, a Facebook fracas, and more gun voices”
Alecto,
You obviously do not hunt much. Many REAL hunters use semi-auto firearms.
BTW, your bolt-action rifle? That was a "war weapon" too.
NONE of the laws passed or proposed at the Colorado or federal level for the last 20 years affect full-auto firearms, which are already highly restricted items.

Re: “Kudos for King, a Facebook fracas, and more gun voices”
Melanie,
Why is it brave and courageous to brag about your sexual exploits? We used to consider that sort of kiss and tell to be ill mannered and not what honorable men would do.
At best his adolescent sexual behavior outside of moral norms is simply immature. His having to tell us about it is just plain pathetic.

Re: “HB 1081, the sex-ed bill, awaits Hickenlooper's signature”
Schools need to teach our young people how to be personally responsible and self-sustaining...sex without consequences and responsibility is not a helpful contribution to that end.
Perhaps this money ought to be spent training parents how to parent, how to have a positively formational home, and boys that they must take responsibility for their actions.
This is just more of the gay/abortion lobby's agenda driven education and is destructive of society and the lives of our children.
I would not send my children to public schools in the new liberal Hickenlooper Colorado. The guy is the worst thing to happen to our state in all the decades I have lived here.

Re: “Kudos for King, a Facebook fracas, and more gun voices”
I grew up with guns (rifles & shotguns) and hunting - accompanying father and his dogs duck hunting and rabit hunting at age 3 and deer hunting at 11. Father's hunting put food on our table in our poverty, and he cried with every success for the beautiful creature that gave it's life that we might live. As a teenage girl I lost interest in hunting. That interest returned 25 years later in the 90's when the economy started going south for many of us here in the USA and free range, organic meat at $2.00/pound became worth the time, work and stink of hunting and gutting - and the pain of watching the life leave those eyes that I might have some protein on my table. One young doe a year and maybe a turkey is plenty for two people in my opinion.
Hunting is far more about learning, tracking and patience than it is about shooting. Real Hunters have nothing but disdain for idiots with high power, high-tech weapons that know nothing about hunting, are a danger to themselves and other hunters, and have no respect for the hunted. It is the fools with War Weapons that are most likely to kill and leave the meat to rot. Most of the Real Hunters I know joke about shooting these fools and leaving them to rot - but are all too moral to actually follow through.
If you know how to hunt and meat is what you are after, one bullet does the job. And if you are not going to eat it - you should not shoot it.
I don't know any Real Hunters that use automatic or semi-automatic weapons. All the Real Hunters I know want those War Weapons out of the woods and fields.

Re: “Stop killing garment workers”
K: what a putz. You have yet to offer an original thought. You sit on your perch, like the vulture you are, and pick apart people's posts. You actually believe yourself to be wise. You are the biggest joke on these pages. (Well, tied for biggest. The twisted sister is pretty ludicrous as well.)

Re: “Stop killing garment workers”
siggie, you wrote, "Unions of yesteryear bear no resemblance to the greedy thuggery of the unions today." Indeed! That is because many, if not most, of the unions were organized and led by unabashed communists and socialists. In the 1950's, after the Soviet Union tested a nuclear device, and America officially entered the "McCarthy Era," communists and socialists were drummed out of the unions, paving the way, in many, but not all cases, for unscrupulous opportunists to take over.

Re: “UPDATE: Susan Edmondson heading Downtown Partnership”
Hiring another idiot will not move anything forward, but rather waste resources on someone from California who moved here to "get out of the fast lane."
Its time we stopped this vicious cycle and Focus on making this a great city to live in. Where is a 50 year old considered, "fresh" and "new?" Only in Colorado Springs!

Sorry to try to help, but I'm not a fkn mind reader. You may want to check with references with the Jewish Historian Josephus who recorded what happened during that period of time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus

Re: “Stop killing garment workers”
Arch-conservative President Richard "Tricky Dick" Nixon opened relations with "Red China," a policy no Democrat would ever have been able to introduce. He was initiating a divide-and-conquer maneuver, trying to drive a wedge between the two allies, and his policy was certainly instrumental in the fall of the Soviet Union.
Now that the Soviet Union is no more, it is long past time to turn against the "Peoples' Republic," to put an end to the sham they call communism, and to liberate their people, using the same weapon we used against the Soviet Union, economics. But the so-called "job creators" are too busy making record profits from the exploitation of Chinese workers. And so-called "conservative" politicians are responsible for mortgaging the nation to China to fight not one, but two (count 'em!) wars.
These "patriots" are bolstering China's economy. They are today's true "useful idiots!"
