- A "more correct number" is what you consider a fact?!?

- This "fact" is completely incorrect. In Boulder if I am refused housing
- and I believe the reason is because of my sexual orientation I can file
- a discrimination action. When Ammendment 2 goes into effect, I will still
- be able to claim discrimination becuase I am hetrosexual. (Of course I would
- have to prove it, but that is another matter.) If I were homosexual or bi-
- sexual I would not have EQUAL protection becuase of Ammendment 2. I would
- have LOST that right. It is similar to a law that said jews couldn't make
- any claim of discrimination becuase of religious belief. Everyone else is
- protected EXCEPT jews. Ammendment 2 says everyone else is protected EXCEPT
- homosexuals, lesbians or bi-sexuals.
-
-
- We are up to 50% of your "facts" and things aren't looking very promising.

- "As far as I can tell..." Boy, you sure do define "fact" loosely...

-
-
- That is incorrect as well. Several of the ski areas voted No on 2.
-
-
- >Now for some Opinions.
-
-
- After all those "facts" I don't think I'll bother with your opinions...
