Shannon - I try to stay out of political discussions as it just makes for everyone being pissed off. But we need our people HERE. I'm a firm believer of take care of your own, always have been. If someone doesn't like me, fine, that's their choice. However, when shit hits the fan, don't expect me to be all warm & fuzzy & help you out 'cuz I ain't gonna if you treated me like dirt. I'm just that kind of rotten person. You help me, I help you. Personally speaking, I can't stand the Springs. Most of the people there have an opinion of themselves that they're way better than anyone else because they live in Colorado Springs and God Loves Them. Bah. I don't care what their religion is, but any religion that tells me that if I don't worship THEIR way then I'm gonna burn in hell.. I can't tell you how many times I've been told that I'm gonna burn in hell 'cuz I don't attend this, that, or the other church. And there are SOOOOOO many churches in the Springs.. I think it's like 1 church for every 200 people.. and ColoSpgs has like 325,000 people! All those churches are there for 1 major reason: taxes. Tons & tons of people convert a room in their house into a place of worship so they don't have to pay property taxes. Sorry if I'm sounding very anti-religion, but this is the facts there in the Spgs. I work with the county government (I work with county & state-level governments as part of my job) and I know where they put their money - and it's not into infrastructure, either.
*sigh*
