The po-po know when to clip the efforts, and why. If they "allowed" that unofficial, it would grow to be 1,000 runners in a matter of a couple of years. The protest? Meh. And huh? There are more white athletes in this town than there are ppl of race, there might be a handful of whites that even know a black person here. To me, therein lies the joke. This is the most white bread, liberal, open minded, wealthy, sheltered "bubble" town on the map and they're out there doing...what? It's like protesting to the farmer that he/she needs to farm.

They want support from the community, but then forget that their own employees are a part of that. If they don't even take care of their own, who's to say what they even care about their community? It's all a front for money and all of the wrong intentions.

He was already in the right lane and then crept into the generously wide and long merge lane from that ramp I was in. He remained in the right lane- to the Baseline intersection to make a right.

He was driving a bit like he owned the road, but not clearly erratic. He crept into my lane at the S Boulder on-ramp- where the lanes are wide and there's plenty of pavement. He was inches from my car where he proceeded to stay down the right lane. It wasn't out-right flying, but pretty rapid for what he was driving. I caught up to this intersection and then saw him flip. The 2-3 dudes that came out of nowhere to dig the one car out were champions. Everyone was cool, calm and collect and helpful. Really great job done by those 1st on the scene before authorities.

Very poorly written complaint/review/whatever the goal is. Unbelievably written like a self-serving diary entry for a professional publication.

There's provocative and there's reckless. This guy sounds like a bit more like reckless. I would love to hear from the students. Naropa needs to grow a pair and fire this guy. Let him poop racism in his diaper all he wants. He has a job to do and if he's not doing it...

Some Utah counties are considering the same thing.

I don't ski- so I don't give a crap about any of this- but he/she brings up a very valid point. The privileged ones are often the teeny-boppers in their early 20's who's parents are paying out of state tuition b/c their kids had no idea what to do with their lives besides wear Ugg boots and baseball caps. We all know what the masses of CU students do to this town overall every single year. The ones with a brain are the older ones who've matured a little bit, and probably need to work through school and are the ones who'd really benefit from the "student" discount. I also get it- even as a non-student, I simply can't afford to ski b/c I never got the gear and I can't afford it, and there are lots of other things to do in this town. Skiing is ultimately a luxury, the price of it being a 1st world problem. And Eldora can ultimately do what they want, but they need to rename the discount. If you're 27 and a full time student- and you can't get the "student" discount- then it's not a student discount, plain and simple. I will be daring- how about they change the policy to - full time students only with no kids. B/c if you have a kid, and decided to go to school full time, you clearly have money to execute those two decisions at the same time. Bring the thumbs down in 3...2...

Who does that? What kind of intent is that? To me that speaks volumes. I'm not assuming one way or the other about this driver-but personally, if I intended to scare someone and and made an oopsy by causing a crash- I'd be more apt to flee the scene than if it were complete shock and accident. This driver *claims* to care so much he *courtesy* honks these cyclists but sees them crash behind him after slamming on his brakes and takes off? Seems a bit fishy.

The Eco pass only serves so much, and for so many if they live near a bus. I have 2 jobs downtown and I ride my bike when I can. I don't live near a bus station. But when the weather is bad or I just have so much to carry that day, I need to drive. Parking is a huge problem for workers downtown. Paying to park just to go to work is a joke.

Thanks for this one, DC.

"Rape is the misuse of sexuality and sexual body parts in addition to violence, control, anger etc." Guess ya missed that sentence. She's wasn't choked, or punched. But there was plenty of violence. Sexual violence. Raging teenage hormonal sexual violence paired with uncontrolled ignorance, blatant chauvinism and skewed sense of power. As Gosling suggests, our culture has an extremely messed up view with gender/sexuality/love/anger/violence (I believe that was cited in this very article...suggesting that sex has nothing to do with this....but...then she used Goslings example.....). I understand rape may serve as the baseball bat for a violent act. Maybe. In some rapes. But we cannot lump or reduce all rape like this. It's complex, and we are all responsible for how we view all aspects of gender and sexual relations. And as you mentioned, men get raped too. There isn't just one kind of rape with just a couple of reasons to do it. Sun, 24 Mar 2013 05:47:29 +0000 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2013/03/theres-no-sex-in-your-violence/#IDComment602862287 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2013/03/theres-no-sex-in-your-violence/#IDComment602856101 Kate thanks for replying. There are countless websites that readily show up to support rape is all about violence and control. They prop up like how diet can't do anything for tumors or cancer....but if you dig a little past the surface and popular thought, you often find broader research and contributions (as I am sure you know too). Blanket statements like "rape has nothing to do with sex" has become quite the leading thought to cover date rape, gang rape, male on male rape, etc. While this may be applicable, it isn't always, or always that simple or accurate. (and there are bottomless trends in psychology). "Men don't rape because they are aroused." "Women of every age, race, ethnicity and background are raped. It isn't something that happens because women are attractive or promiscuous." Men with a deviant sexual mindset mixed with misplaced anger or control issues can rape. This is why at times it is sex that is used as the weapon. That is also why masturbation isn't satisfying. "Aroused" doesn't inherently imply in love or attraction. So- it means nothing if she's freshly showered, young, old, ethnicity etc as you state (although some rapist may differ, actually). The root of all rape is not inherently just violence or control. There may be at times, a sexual component. Not the way sexuality is for maybe you and me, or our friends. Sex (obviously) is biological, hormonal, complex, chemical, emotional, and does not need to involve care, love or attraction to occur. In normal society we project what we think is needed, like love, care, respect for ourselves and therefor make the distinction for rape. But on a basic level, sex doesn't need these things to simply occur. Hence the rape. And hence the sexual component. There is a little bit of psychology that is revisiting the various forms of rape and why men feel compelled to rape beyond the current reduction of control or power. And that does not mean this has anything to do with thinking she's a slut, or reverting back to it's because she's too attractive. So to lump date rape, gang rape, stranger rape, incest, drug rape etc. as having the same psychological patterns and roots simply isn't accurate. We need to be sensitive and aware with the word "rape" and what rape means in the given context, and making such generalizations about it.

Rape is the misuse of sexuality and sexual body parts in addition to violence, control, anger etc. It's a hate crime, and a sex crime. These boys (and most) would probably never ever do such activities to other boys/men. They didn't just beat her up and toss her around. They didn't just try to make her eat aw onions against her will. Rape is a sex crime. It involves a specific gender and sex and often an attempt to degrade ones sex and sexuality. It's criminal to lump all rapes into having "nothing to do with sex". An utterly mindless statement. In this headline case in particular. It was an absolute defiling of a female gender, and sexuality and sex, acted out sexually. Anal sex, oral sex, hand jobs and masturbation were all included in the acts that night. I'm not even sure anyone even punched or choked or hit her (aside from dragging)- which would be pure violence/anger/control. The boys did none of the sexual acts on each other- but only to her. If it wasn't about sex, why rape? If it's purely about control, well, umm she was passed out...and they didn't just tie her up or beat her up (in fact they didn't even do that). They effed her up sexually. Sex takes on many forms from love to violence to power and everything in between. It IS a component in rape. At times, a very HUGE component. Do everyone a favor and stop using this trendy declaration. This is a very poor, trite article.
