- One also has to consider what people who approve of the ammendment's reaction
- to a boycott will be. There are MANY people who will say, "Hey, lets visit Colorado
- now since there will be none of them [derogatory comment about people with sexual
- differences] around to bug us."
- May I suggest that instead of boycotting Colorado, you make a donation to the
- School system in Colorado and have it directed to teaching people that it's OK if
- someone else is different!!
