When Coloradoans Attack!

Well, well, well. Seems that my post tut-tutting the concept of Colorado as part of the heartland has touched a nerve. First, Jared at Exultate Justi comments, and then one of his readers sends me this enlightened e-mail:
    You ignorant person...

    Dear Brian,
    Read your post "Colorado is not the heartland" (linked from Exultate
    Justi). I would suggest that you watch too much television if you think
    rather small, insignificant places like Aspen and Vail as typical of my
    state. Boulder? Show me a major college town that is not infested by
    leftist wierdoes. Athens? Lawrence? Chapel Hill? Not!

    Skiing? Actually, that 'sport' was developed by us as a tourist trap to
    sucker Texans and Chicagoans into spending their money. They also often
    spend time in our hospitals after this activity, further spending money.
    Sadly, many of these people stayed.

    Not the heartland, indeed! I am sick of all of you lowlanders thinking
    that this is some kind of snow-covered wonderland (we really ought to
    re-name sme of our sports franchises that reflect this misconception).

    Denver? typical nasty yuppie-infested big city. Colorado Springs?
    Imagine Birmingham, Alabama without the humidity. We are just as normal
    as any other place in the USA.
In the interest of reaching out to our poor Colorado brothers and elevating the discourse, I'd like to point out:

Coors beer isn't very good either.
