It would be a GOOD thing to see an exodus of clearly UNEDUCATED adults, of whatever age, from Wyoming as a result of the GOOD lawmaking Wyoming has been doing. Starting with this woman.

She means young liberals. She can't imagine why the state wouldn't want them to enlighten the people and progress the state forward to being Wyo-fornia.

But I met a lot of super nice people and got along well with every one (even the aforementioned types). I enjoyed living there and still have many friends there.

I now live in western CO, which is more like WY than like the Denver area. I still meet like minded people here and live and let live with the folks who have different opinions.
are there as many red haired people in western CO as compared to say somewhere else, like, oh, I dunno.............Wyoming!

Massachusetts - lots of red haired Irishmen/women. Love them, not the state.

I lived in Sheridan for several years back in the 1990s. This was before the coalbed methane boom and the cost of living there skyrocketed. I'm not sure what it is like now. There were a lot of nice people there, probably still are LOL. I considered Sheridan to be the banana belt of WY. Generally mild weather and not much wind due to the mtns just to the west.

I'm glad you told me. I'll simply block you and that will avoid my having to spend time reading the comments you've warned me about. See what a good solution that was?

I figure you're making a joke here, since that is far to silly and trite to be a serious statement from any actual Wyoming resident.

When I used to go Fort Collins, Colorado to visit friends there, you'd go to bars on the weekends and they'd just be full of cowboys from Wyoming kicking the s**t out of each other.
I lived in Ft. Collins for many years, it's my favorite non-coastal town.

The reason those FEW Wyoming idiots came to Ft. Collins to pull that stuff, is because most of Wyoming was NOT like that, and wouldn't put up with their stupidity. So they left the state to try to find someplace that would. Most places in Ft. Collins didn't tolerate it either, but a few decided to take their money and let them pay for the damages.

I just love it when you demonstrate how little you know, while pretending to be morally superior and better educated than the person you're responding to. That happens a lot, and I get a kick out of it every time.

There are well under one million people in Wyoming, so it's impossible that anyone could assume that "one nutjob spewing = millions of nutjobs spewing."

Perhaps if you had been homeschooled, you'd know more about the things you discuss.

Back at you! It's simply because I was NOT homeschooled that I catch on to the bs being typed in these threads by right wingers. If I'd been homeschooled, I'd never catch on and would simply do a bobble-head nod.

It never ceases to baffle me. I read a post for the absence of logic and analyze it, look at the links, research the links, find they're bunk, post back. I notice everything. You don't seem to like that much.
