gravel, and gradually increase in price. It would be tempting to purchase or option thousands of acres along the Platte, Poudre and St. Vrain rivers in anticipation of a never-ending water storage market. The real unknown is whether cities like Aurora, Denver, and Boulder will have the money they need in the future to build-out ahead of the demand. It is not impossible to think that there may be a cap on the population growth in the Front Range (government regulation, taxes, cost of living,…

In fact, there were 372 mass shootings and 475 were killed in 2015 alone (The Fight Over Guns In America.16). Making laws to get guns out of the…

There is a saying that a person does not simply “receive” his or her identity and that an identity is more than a face but rather something people must create for themselves. To many this is true, to others this is fake. People can determine who they are, which is their identity, without allowing outsiders influence them. It is just a matter of the heart. In the book In Cold Blood authored by Truman Capote, Dick Hickock and Perry Smith were normal men before they turned into criminals. Although…

“Then we heard pop-pop-pop, pop-pop-pop, and I thought, ‘That's a weird noise’. I first thought it was the janitor taking down risers and setting up tables. The school's intercom was on, and [I] next heard more shots, screaming, crying and whimpering. [I] heard the janitor yell at the gunman, "'Put the gun down! Put the gun down'"(Sgueglia), this was an account from Shari Thornberg, a staff member at Sandy Hook Elementary School, in an interview with USA Today. On December 14, it will mark the…
