I lived in Colorado for almost 30 years. These people were known the "the Colorado Springs Crazies." One of the ironies of the area is that Colorado Springs, that bastion of Capitalism and Free Enterprise, pretty well lives off the military base at Ft. Carson and the Air Force Academy. It is pretty well attached to the public purse. Another irony is that in this anti-socialist bastion, the power company is owned by the city.
