Thanks, MtheGM...anyone who knows me, knows I did not use "UKers" in any pejorative way. Good thing I didn't use "Yookers" as I did think about it!

Duly noted...don't use "UKers," again!

FWIW, I am in Colorado, raised by second-generation Colorado parents, and I abhor the death penalty. I might feel differently if it were one of my family, but mostly I feel sadness and pity that someone thinks such violence as Aurora are answers to whatever conflicts they struggled with. Likewise, I do not see the death penalty as an anything but an Old Testament kind of action. Oh, and FWIW, I live in one of the most conservative parts of the state and I don't see "gun freaks" running around all over.
