which city in Colorado was evacuated and had thousands of houses destroyed, remind me again?

[BlueHair]

There's a slight difference in being snowed into your warm house and flooded out. Horrible comparison.

[danimal]

It's not real. The email originated a while ago from a snow storm in another state. It's a horrible comparison.

I qoute Tyrone Biggums:
If you've got hate in your heart...let it out. White power!

Who writes these things? Why do so many people fall for them? What is it that is so appealing about moral superiority?

[UteStar]

That is a brutally bad email and Detroit makes a great point.

As it has been said already in the replies, this would be a great comparison if thousands of homes were destroyed and thousands of peoples' lives were ruined by it all. How many people had to stay a week living in the Nuggets arena? Seriously...if anyone that received this email took it seriously, well, they are pretty silly people.
