Our Platform for Outlining Colorado’s Future

Best reasons to agree : +6 Buildings don't always ruin a place's aesthetic beauty.  We shouldn't build if there is a delicate echo system, but it is OK if the echo system is strong.  It is better to build in beautiful places, so that people can enjoy them, than to build in productive farm land.  People who want to protect our beautiful places for future generations, should not try to keep them as prim-eval forest, but well cared for gardens. They can regulate the heck out of development, and only allow LEED certified, well thought out beautiful buildings. But a place's beauty should not automatically disqualify development, as long as the development is well thought out and managed, and public spaces are preserved for the poor to also enjoy the beauty.  Echo-tourism can be a sustainable way for us to fund wild-life habitat.  Our country needs, and will make money. We have choices. You can't...

Background, Context, and Assumptions *Better will be different to different people. You can see my assumptions below. Obviously, employment opportunities, cultural events, and other opportunities are better in Chicago. But if your just a kids and don't care about anything in the summer time, but having nice weather to ride your bike around in, consider the discussion points below. I got my info from here: http://www.bestplaces.net/climate/  or  http://www.bestplaces.net/compare-cities/denver_co/chicago_il/climate Best reasons to agree : +5 The comfort index (with higher numbers being better) is 68 in Boise, 57 in Denver, but only 47 in Chicago.  I attribute that to how windy it is in the winter, and how the humidity will really get you in the summer, which everyone knows, but also gets you (I assert) in the winter. Places that get lots of rain are nice to look at in the summer, with all the green plants, but they aren't as comfortable outside if your kids jus...

Reasons to agree : Cameras can re-create images perfectly. Photo-realism can be achieved with very little money.  Its cool how Dan writes stuff with images.  Reasons to disagree : Dan Price draws things he sees. Everyone's life is important. It is important to value your life, and to really look at the stuff around you. Sketching it force you to really see it, but sometimes art should do more... you can say important, powerful things visually... You can create something that makes people think, and act differently. Dan does this, but maybe it is more important to focus on doing a few really awesome paintings, or creations, instead of a exploring a whole bunch of new places... Its not like their is a right or a wrong... Every artist should do what their attention to detail, and boredom push them to do, but you shouldn't do all your art like Dan's.  Score : # of reasons to agree: 2 # of reasons to disagree: -...
