- InformationalPeeve: For those of you who don't know, the noble
- citizens of Colorado just approved a state constitutional amendment
- (No. 2) making it illegal to pass laws barring discrimination against
- gays and bisexuals (Yes the language looks garbled - somebody else
- can explain it to the dollhouse gang). That such an amendment would
- pass is peevesome in itself.
-
- LanguagePeeve: You should have seen the legalese gobbledygook on the
- ballot. Many who wanted cast a vote to make sure that evgeryone would
- continue to receive legal protection, were reduced to chanting the
- "no on 2" mantra in the voting before they could figure out which
- hole to punch.
-
- MainPeeve: The boycott. Yes, the day after the vote, PC types all
- started chanting "Boycott Colorado, boycott Colorado, they're all
- BAD!" Now for the peevesome part; Most of the places which
- will be hurt by a travel ban to Colorado, are the cities which voted
- against tacking this vomitous piece of hate-filled spew onto the
- constitution. For example: I heard on the radio this morning that
- some major convention which was supposed to take place in Denver next
- summer, is going somewhere else. Guess which way Denver voted?
- Same thing with skiiers. If ski travelers bypass the state for,
- say, that hotbed of tolerance Utah, Aspen suffers. This makes
- perfect sense, since it was the first city in the state to pass gay
- rights ordinances.
-
- SecondaryPeeve: Who are they to dump on our state? Is everything so
- perfect and politically correct in the rest of the country? Let's see...
- There are still sodomy laws on the books in many states (MAJOR Peeve!).
- Lets list all those states and boycott them! The so called rust belt
- has all those nasty industries which pump out all that pollution. Boycott!
- LA has a basically racist police force. Boycott California!! I'm sure
- we could come up with reasons to boycott any state one would care to
- name.
-
- RelatedPeeve: Colorado Springs. This fair community is where this
- nasty little glob of bile originated. Over the past few years,
- Colorado Springs has been actively encouraging no-necked, pin-headed,
- bible thumping, "Praise the Lord and pass the collection basket",
- MoralNazis from all over the US to move in and set up shop, thereby
- making the rest of this more or less reasonable state look like it
- belongs down in the bible belt.
-
- !Peeve: Aspen, Denver, and Boulder (my stomping grounds) are trying to
- put together a lawsuit to get this idiot thing thrown out.
