Anybody that quotes Huffington Post needs to learn how to find more reliable sources of information.

To all the folks that are against drilling and using fossil fuels. I'm assuming you don't drive cars nor heat your homes, and you're probably independently wealthy and don't need the jobs.

I've lived here 30+ years. My sons both went to school here from kindergarten through high school and went on to do very well in college. One got a masters from Colorado School of Mines and the second got his BS from UNC in Greeley. The district's low test scores are puzzling to me, because many kids do very well when they leave.

As far as being culturally stifled here, it's up to the individual and parents to bring culture and diversity into their lives. If you never leave Craig for anything, yes, you'll be a bit stunted.

Craig has been a good community to raise a family in. It may be lacking in some activities, however if you enjoy the outdoors, fishing, hunting, etc., this is a perfect place to be.

I used to like the winter cold and snow, but as I've gotten older I no longer enjoy it. I do however enjoy our pleasant spring, summer and falls.

SayWhat, the percentage is wrong on the “official” site. Yeah, even they can make mistakes. Here is the official census site - so you do the math.

It may not be 10%, but it sure is no 1% either.

Bottom line, is that you're skewing the facts to make your point, which is no worse than what Byron was doing by exagerating the numbers.

I do not know Byron personally, nor have I been to the City Council meetings. However his statements, as quoted by the Daily Press do indicate that we have a growing problem in the Yampa Valley. For the WSJ to pick up the story, tells me that we have a problem in our corner of the state. So we're already dealing with drunk drivers on our roads, do we really want to add marijuana intoxicated drivers as well? And yes, those numbers are going up.

It's a shame that people are so quick to attack someone personally, instead of sticking to the facts and discussing the problem.

Looks like the editorial board owes Byron Willems an apology. The alarm bells need to be sounded. I don't doubt that there are a handful that legitimately need marjuana, but I'm guessing the majority are finding any excuse to use. Unfortunately there are doctors willing to accommodate. Colorado screwed up by not having regs in place when this bill passed, and they've been slow to regulate.

And now with that WSJ article - that's as good as an advertisement for all potheads to come to Colorado! Just what we need. Not!!

Hey nimrod that's a great idea! Seriously - the local deer could be tranquilized and moved. It would certainly be a win-win for everyone. The deer would be saved and make all the tree huggers in town happy - and our shrubbery can start recuperating! Who knows, the deer may actually get healthier as well.

Clap! Clap! - - - Applause!!!

I like this game. If everyone would “play along” and “back their facts” we wouldn't have 95% of the garbage posted on this forum.

It amazes me how mean spirited people can be under the guise of anonymity.

Though I feel that impeaching a president is a huge waste of time and money, I can see why people feel that way. If you haven't noticed, there is a huge amount of frustration currently in our country. It does not appear that the economy, debt level, handling of foreign policies, etc., are moving along in the right direction. I personally feel that Obama and his administration are doing a lousy job on all fronts. And blaming Bush for everything is getting a bit old.

Why does disagreement with Obama immediately equate to racism?? Was it racism when people disagreed with Bush and his decisions?

I hope the conservatives of this country can stand firm and get this great nation back on the road to recovery. Our debt level is teetering on the brink of disaster. If we all ran our own personal finances the way the feds do, we'd all be bankrupt.

To jamcolo, I scrutinize and dismiss most of what I receive via email. If something appears to have a shred of truth to it, I do research it, but I do not rely on snopes. It is also biased as is most of the liberal media. There may be lots of rumors floating around, but I know that some is based on fact that the liberal media will not touch.

And to all the Obama fans here, what has he done that deserves any accolades? Unemployment is still high, the debt is out of control and he wimps out on tough decisions and delegates them to others (like Hillary Clinton). It seems all he's good at doing is giving speeches, which mean nothing, since he doesn't follow through. And where is he right now? On a trip to Brazil that should have been cancelled. What was he discussing last week? Oh yeah - the final four! Nice!

Good luck Terry! And good luck to Marilyn as well! Glad to see that the bookstore will continue.
