Colorado - I am a sad and confused American

When I left Evergreen, my wife had died I though my heart would break in a thousand pieces, and the idea of heaven on earth would vanish. Living inside a Currier and Ives print with my princess would stay inside of me for the rest of my life.
    High up in the Rockys, commuting down each day into Denver, living up in the mountains ten thousand feet over the city with my dream girl - it would never, ever get any better. She died, I crumbled, and left. I went to Portland, and the rest is history, and my time in Denver locked away forever.
    Now, I hear Denver and the state have gone to " the dogs." The bull$%## you feed yourselves about gambling by calling it ' GAMING ' is crap and you know it. It is NOT fun, entertainment, or exciting - it's betting. It's losing your money, and hell, those people are getting rich off it. As an assistant Casino Manager once told me, a new casino moving into town is " like giving the community a gift of cancer."
    And hey, now, you add drugs - Marijuana. Not only do you gamble your money away, you can get stoned while you do it. CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta is doing a special report on the effects of the stuff on your judgement. Don't think it does much on your judgement? Watch the special, then go on and such that stuff up.
    And now, thanks to the bone headed legislators ( ' ready-fire-shoot') the gun CONTROL legislature now has passed a bunch of stupid laws binding YOUR hands in case you need to defend YOUR home and heart.
    The bad guys at the local Circle K? Frisk them some time if you get the chance, doubt that they're carrying any legal gun permits, tho. What's her name? Rep. Degette? Had all the answers on new legislation, come to find out she didn't even know that an ammo clip for a rifle was NOT A BULLET. She learned in an on-air interview that an ammo clip holds bullets.
     Pushed legislation through without knowing what she was doing. Nice. You elected her.
