I moved to Boulder during the spring of 1995, at the end of a very warm winter, and the beginning of a very cold, wet spring. This year has been nearly a carbon copy of that year..
The climate hasn’t changed – but something else has changed. Twenty years ago, Boulder was a very free, open city. People moved there to be free. I could walk the dogs off the leash up at Chautauqua. The place was great. It is was the most fun place I ever lived.
But over time, progressives have become more and more protective and afraid. Now they are terrified of everything – other ideas, dogs off leashes, and even harmless trace gases. People in Boulder have become incredibly annoying and paranoid.
I plan to move back to Boulder this summer. Sad that it has been taken over by mentally ill folk.
