The only thing I know about Colorado is that their freeway on ramps
really suck. There isn't a merge lane... you just get dumped right into
fast moving traffic. Plus I found them to be rude.

I spend some time in Denver a number of years ago... doing a post-college
bus tour of the country with a friend. I got quite sick as I was heading to
Denver and the Stout Street Clinic took *very* good care of me and pushed
any effort to pay them away. I ended up sending them a check later as a
token of my appreciation - the truly went above and beyond. I had little
problem with the people I met, but the folks I was staying with at a youth
hostel used to play a game they called "porch television" where they would
count the gun shots as they watched the hookers and pimps and fights and
other happenings. I also stayed at a motel for a bit - and learned a
lesson: if the person showing you a room asks "Will this do", and you say
"yes" and they respond in a surprised way and as "Are you sure?", then no
matter how tired you are look closer at the room! :)

Overall I have *nothing* against Colorado nor its people - but as far as I
know *all* people from Colorado who post to CSMA are irrational, angry, and
perhaps delusional. There are many people - most even - who I have no idea
where they post from, so there clearly could be exceptions. Still, when
"different" people apparently from the same general area use similar
phrases, make the same bizarre and ignorant mistakes in logic, and otherwise
act in odd and similar ways it makes sense to consider the strong
possibility they are somehow connected by more than geography - a group of
people who know each other or even sock puppets.
