Ouch

When you have a $20,000+ special election with results indicating that those registered voters who didn't vote would have had to vote 75% in the opposite direction of how those who did vote voted, the message sent to the potheads is "Don't bring this back anytime soon."

When the geritocracy girds their loins, they somehow find a way to waddle down to the ballot box and let the Estes Park young people know that alcohol is the only respected, sanctioned drug of choice up heyah in the holler.  So the Newberrys should open a distillery.  DUIs are tolerated and practically welcomed in Estes Park, it's almost a rite of passage and guarantee of holding your appointed position on the various vanity boards in town created solely to support the wine and hard liquor industry.  We don't need a county health department inspecting food, we need an assigned representative of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms on site making the crucial measurements of lead and mercury content in bootleg whiskey.  I mean, we don't want our volunteer boards staffed with low I.Q.ers.
