- Ironicly, I'm told that Coors officially opposed the amendment. (They
- also supported Jessey Jackson in 84 probably for the same reasons). I
- also understand that labor organizations have withdrawn their support
- of the age old Coors boycot. Still, after so many years I still see
- swastikas everytime I look at a "silver bullet".
-
- U S WEST too needed to amend it's poor record on "pluralism" (which
- cost it a cool million or so in punative damages this year) and came
- out strongly against amendment 2.
-
- I've lived in Boulder 20 years, and I still dont understand how this
- town wound up in the state of Colorado. Rather than susseed from the
- state, perhaps we (boulder) should just expunge Colorado Springs...
