The article is all about Mountain, Dirt riding and open road riding...It mentions the visitor lack of awareness being "off the charts". WHY???... I would submit that the real money is the tourism from famillies and the casual rider... the pro rider, the dedicated Moutain rider know where here.....But what was missing in the article is mention of Summit County's 55+ miles (& growing) of paved dedicated bike paths... and that does not include the mileage up and over Vail pass to Vail itself from Copper Mtn... all dedicated, seperate and paved..... The Summit system also connects all the towns.... Keystone, Dillon, Silverthone, Frisco, Breck and Copper..... add to that its proximity to Denver... and you have a family experince of 200 ft or 55 miles....
The Ski area itself has redirected its moutain experience to be more of a "family" resort.... thats where the cash is ...a family experince...
well so much for civil discourse.... my point is Fox is not an independent reporter of the news... and unfortunately we have been driven to the point of who can scream the loudest to get the most attention.... and the result is no ones listens anymore except to the side your already on......
I was unaware that people were afraid to vote in the last election.... I believe it was a record turnout....
Just when you thought there could be somewhat an intellectual discourse on the subject of Fox ... Fox provides another example of what is so wrong with them
Fox has now decided that MR ROGERS is the root of all that is wrong with our nation....
Fox hosts are reporting on a study (actually a single professor just talking) on how Mister Roger’s message of “You’re special just the way you are” has created generations of lazy, self-interested little socialists and he’s also the reason American children don’t do well in school. He never said you should get things just for asking. He said you should have a feeling of self-worth no matter what.
Fox going after Mister Rogers is another piece of evidence that shows the American Far Right has lost its collective mind in the last several years. Things like compassion and empathy have already been vilified on the Right, but to overtly say that a man like Fred Rogers is evil leaves one speechless....
The Right has been hijacked by Randian “ethics” in that a person’s worth is tied to his or her bank account and how much he or she resembles the “superman” who cares not for morals but only self-interest. Modern American conservatism has been led down the path of the Tea Party, of might-makes-right, of thinking businesses are people, people do not to be educated above their "class"... that america should be of one color and one religion....
Fox is a very "special" network..with very "special people" with advertizers with very "special" agenda's.........
and so the great American experiment of democracy continues........
Lets talk the facts a complete Alien concept at the Fox network ....
The doctor in Philedelphia actions were intolerable and dispicable..but the actions of one greedy crazed human...and if the entire history of his practice is correct was going on long before the current occupant of the whitehouse.
As reported on Fox yesterday... it seems that there were some 300 given "special attention" by the IRS.. 70 were conservative groups seeking to avoid paying taxes as "non-profits".. several others were Jewish Israel support groups and Left leaning groups such as the "99 percent" group..... The IRS run by a Bush appointte knew about these issues and did nothing and lied to congress last year when asked....I don't hear the word "setup" on Fox...
What the IRS did is very very wrong but I guess their "special aduits" of black churches under Bush were OK..where was the Christian Right wing asking questions then???
The Bengahzi attacks was a sad & tragic event ..losing an Ambassador and 3 brave Americans was a great loss but FOX lost the high ground and turned the entire event from day one into a crusade to stop HIllary and get Obama.... and thank you for proving that thru your rant on her..... Fox's concern over the 4 deaths is almost a joke... 6 americans were killed in Afghanistan this week.... not a word or concern about them though...
I would hope that when the former Vice President comes for your little private affair you ask him why he lied to his president and led his circle to lie to the nation and the world that resulted in the death 4100 brave Americans....
Oh and by the why has Rumsfield not been on Fox this week promoting his book but on all the other networks...could it be that Fox did not want to hear about his statements that he tried to warn Cheney and Bush there probably was not any WMD's and that we were not prepared to go to war.... and in the end...guess what he was right on both fronts.....
SO please do not call FOX a news station or the bastion of the fact.... it is an outlet for those on the right with agendas that cherry picks "facts" to suit that agenda.
The Yampa trail system I would like to point out is used as much by "walkers" as it is by people on bicycles... in fact I would submit that on any given day 'walkers" more so.... the bicyclist for the most part I observe are of the "casual" type on the trail.. with the most avid "cyclists using the open streets and roads....
The simplest way to create the Promenade would be for the city to make it part of an overall area development plan that property owners must include in their property development plans and build at their own expense as is done in may other cities. Or thru the proposed " Urban Redevelopment Authority".. the properties could be seized thru "emminent Domain" and funded & built thru funds available to that Authority..ie.. a TIF or special tax area..... both of these would be at no cost to the city... Not to mention that most of the benefit of the Promenade is to the property owners who cannot sell their included properties or would be part of or around it as an enhanced feature.
The city looked at what is the greatest good for the broadest spectrum. In the end the citywide trail along the Yampa attracts the greatest amount of people because it has a broad appeal,while the Promonade would be an "side addition" to the trail and saw the promenade for what it really is : a bail out for properties that have sat on the market for yrs & increases the property values of a select few
Maybe the DA should show the boy his booking picture..... but I guess a good move by the defense attorney... where's the history news thread that the Pilot usually runs with their stories..
Why in one story the name and picture... and in this one...nothing??? This defendent was arrested then charged and is now on tril in a public venue... so why no name????
in the previous story they not only identified but showed his picture... and both are sexual crimes...
so the Pilots policy of : " The Steamboat Pilot & Today does not typically identify those accused of sex crimes until they have been convicted".. is what????? dependent on race, color???? just curious..... I have no mercy for either cases.... but what is the Pilot policy???
