Can anyone provide a factual response to the LTE, not just an attack on the author?

The "experiment" has introduced symmetry into traffic congestion. It now is as difficult to drive across town north and south as it has been for years to go east and west across town. Given the congestion, the only safe way to ride a bike is to use bike/walk paths. Of course, there are walkers who share these paths with bikes. But we all know that there has never been friction between slow walkers and speedy bicyclists.

Corporations do not tax. And also they know how to avoid them.

Two comments: 1) Can't wait for first snowfall. How can the city plow the streets, and bike paths, with those sticks in the way? 2) Maybe we should reconsider allowing the city to provide electric power. All of a sudden, Xcel is looking better.

Do you maintain that corporate-world language is "1984ish"? Is the corporate structure upon which our economy is built "1984isn"?

The death penalty is not "maximum sanction". Life in prison is.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/29/aurora-s... “Holmes' attorneys disclosed in a court filing Wednesday that their client has offered to plead guilty, but only if he wouldn't be executed. Prosecutors criticized defense attorneys for publicizing the offer, calling it a ploy meant to draw the public and the judge into what should be private plea negotiations. Prosecutors did not say what information the defense refused to give them, but the two sides have argued in court previously about access to information about Holmes' mental health. Karen Steinhauser, a former prosecutor who is now an adjunct professor at the University of Denver's law school, said prosecutors clearly do not want to agree to a plea deal without knowing whether Holmes' attorneys could mount a strong mental health defense. "One of the issues the prosecution needs to look at is, is there a likelihood that doctors, and then a jury, could find that James Holmes was insane at the time of the crime?" she said. Prosecutors also criticized comments to The Associated Press by Doug Wilson, who heads the state public defenders' office. Wilson told the AP Wednesday that prosecutors had not responded to the offer and said he didn't know whether prosecutors had relayed the offer to any victims as required by state law. Prosecutors said that violated the gag order. They also said they have repeatedly contacted "every known victim and family member of a victim — numbering over one thousand" about possible resolutions of the case, including the death penalty and life in prison without parole. George Brauchler, the Arapahoe County district attorney, is scheduled to announce Monday whether he will seek the death penalty for Holmes. He has refused repeatedly to comment on the case, citing the gag order. Pierce O'Farrill, who was shot three times, said he would welcome an agreement that would imprison Holmes for life. The years of court struggles ahead would likely be an emotional ordeal for victims, he said. "I don't see his death bringing me peace," O'Farrill said. "To me, my prayer for him was that he would spend the rest of his life in prison and hopefully, in all those years he has left, he could find God and ask for forgiveness himself." A plea bargain would bring finality to the case fairly early so victims and their families can avoid the prolonged trauma of not knowing what will happen, said Dan Recht, a past president of the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar. "The defense, by making this public pleading, is reaching out to the victims' families," he said. ___ Associated Press writer Nicholas Riccardi contributed to this report.”

It would have been a plea-bargain with no jury trial.

Not to worry. When the first snow falls, the sticks posted between car and bike lanes will be plowed down. The experiment will come to a sudden end.

"the Bible's latest writings were written 2,000 years before the Constitution." I see. They had plenty of time to put it in the Constitution, and chose not to. BTW: Which "God" is referenced in the Declaration? The "God" of the Bible? Old Testament or New Testament? Was this the God who told these "moral" standard-bearers that slavery was required?

Capitalism always does best when wages are low, or zero. The "free-market" system suffers without slavery, hence it pushes to correct the current system and expand slavery, or at a minimum expand approximations to it. After all, why should oppressed people complain because "it is only business".

Now we will be stuck behind an empty bus blocking the only lane of traffic. Cars will simply stop using those streets. In practice, they will become for local traffic only.

I have been in Boulder for 49 years and only attended one session at one CWA. That was many years ago. It sounds like I missed allot over the years and that the CWA, provided it survives, will never be the same. Will it still be worth attending?

If they had their way, minimum wage would be less than zero so people would need to pay to work. aka "company store" or "sharecropping".
