I was reading some of the older posts over at b. and Reese's blog for their arguements and they were each giving their own spiel about their own state being the better. It got me thinking about what made Colorado so great. So, naturally, I decided to lay down my own spiel here on my blog.
Well, there are the obvious things about Colorado like the mountains. Not only are they gorgeous to look at while walking to school in the mornings, they also provide a very handy little compass because the mountains are always to the west. An important detail for someone who gets lost as often as I do. They're also great for skiing and camping, though a pain to drive through when it's snowing. Which, since it's the mountains, happens a lot.
We have the Denver Mint, one of two in the nation. Not much else to say about that one.
The people here are fairly environmentally friendly, except maybe in downtown Denver where the brown haze of pollution can sometimes get so think you can't see the tops of buildings from a distance. The poeple here are also a very courteous bunch and most would lend a hand at the first sign of need.
Hmm... I can't really think of much else off the top of my head and I'm feeling too lazy to actually go research or something. So I guess that's it for now.

Yay, it's a new post!
All right, Colorado seems pretty decent. Although I just noticed that people are only pointing out the good things about their states, none of the bad. Of course, it's nearly impossible to criticize when we're blind to the flaws. Not that there's anything particularly wrong with Colorado… 'cept maybe it could use a little excitement :P.

Haha funny story but I actually had a whole paragraph in there about Colorado's flaws. The only reason I deleted it was because I realized it kind of went against the whole "Colorado beats all" thing I had going there.
And as sad as this is, I actually agree with you about Colorado needing a little excitement :)
