Trying to leverage its mineral wealth into a better seat in the prez's tent unknowningly making the citizens targets for the eastern 1% up to and including invading Durango and/or burning out women and children? Colorado was a flashpoint for Union organizers and the thugs who fed off the marrowbone of its serf population? The names are pr/bs just for circus and bread purposes.

I would prefer to rename Columbus Day as New World Day. We of European descent could still celebrate that we got to end up here. But the name also suggests celebrating differences from Europe, namely the aboriginal peoples and their culture.

From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
Interestingly, here in Colorado, the streets surrounding the capitol are Lincoln, Sherman, Grant and Colfax (the last being Grant's VP). And there's a statue on the west side that's all about the Civil War. This was a little weird to discover, knowing that Colorado became a state 11 years after the war ended (though while Grant was President). But it's much better than if we'd been on the other side of it.
