I'd like to talk a little about Colorado

I really really would like to talk about our trip to Colorado and I will eventually but first I am compelled to discuss the newest piece of legislation forced, jammed, and coerced thru our congress. I literally get sick to my stomach every time I think about it. I am not against health care. I am not against wellness care. I am not against capitalism. I am heavily against welfare and the destruction of a individuals ability to build wealth. I am against my government forcing me to be the same as everyone else. I am against the government telling me I will purchase insurance from their designated provider hence defraying the cost of insurance for some CrackHeadCigaretteSmokingAlcoholic who is gonna die at the ripe old age of 42.
I am soooo against a government that insist I have such a over abundance of wealth that I can afford to provide insurance for employees who havent developed a skill set strong enough to enable them to earn enough money to purchase insurance. As a small business owner I have a vested interest in all this. I know that some of my readers are Small Biz owners yourselves. The biggest part of this deal nobody seems to notice. THIS VIOLATES YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!!!! The federal government controls our banking industry. The federal government controls the automotive industry. The federal government now controls the health care industry. HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AMERICA!!!! These are 3 essentials to our freedom that have been removed from you by your leaders!!!! These are now all things that the government can & will take away from you!!! Hello USSR !!!! Were here folks. By the Feds now dictating when you will purchase, how much you will pay, & who you will purchase insurance from & for they have now set a NEW STANDARD. This will be used against in courts the same way as "the rule of law" is referenced in other law suits. You are no longer a free citizen of the United States. From this point forward you will be considered a subject of the United States Socialist Republic. Welcome to the "cast" system.
I no longer have any incentive to lose weight, be drug free, avoid HIV, be emotionally healthy, encourage my wife & family to live a healthy moral life. BIG BROTHER is gonna take care of me. I believe him. I know its true. I saw it on TV>

We bugged out thursday the 18th and logged a solid 15ish hours to get to Parker, CO.
Damn it was cold. We beat the incoming snowblizzard-a-thon by a couple hours. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate being cold??? Its right there with how much I hate WalMart. I digress. We drove hw287 all the way to Raton,NM. GreatGoogoolyMoogooly thats a long uneventful ride.......yawn. Right turn in Raton and the excitement begins. Up, up, and some more up. The mountains kept coming, beautiful mountains. Snow capped mountains and 60 degrees down at the base. Very cool stuff. Did you know the speed limit is 75 mph out there? People really know how to open it up out there..........mental note, must purchase a new camaro.....Anyway we made it as far as Trinidad before the hunger pains became unbearable. Enter "Nana & Nano's" italian restaurant. Oh my gosh!!! Hand made beef ravioli in marinara sauce!!! Mmmmmmm!!! We highly recommend this place but they are only open wed-sat. On to Parker. BTW, My lovely wife and I took about 800ish pictures of our trip (many of which thru the winshield) and will be posting them on google picassa for you viewing pleasure. It will be a private album so please send me a email requesting a link and I will reply.
(the internet is and will be one of the final freedoms removed from us, cencorship will be for our own good, just like health insurance) I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as we did taking them. Does anybody wanna hear my thoughts on the NRA???
I should mention that the entire purpose of our trip was to attend a wedding. My friend from England, Bryony Raiswell who is living in CO and near and dear to my heart requested our presence. Anywho..............jeepers, I just realized the time. Gotta go for the night. Next post will be a more intensive look at our trip intermixed with some current events, social obscurities, and possibly more on my mail carrier. I dont even know his name. LOL Thats sooooooooo funny cause he doesnt know mine either!!!! LOL
