John Denver was a wonderful person, a very special shining light in a world that has extremely few of his quality. His death has devastated a whole lot of people all over the world--and especially in Colorado.

Kenny Be's appalling, disgusting way of getting a laugh at John Denver after his death only proves how lenient our society really is. If I were a governor or the president, I'd order Kenny Be strapped into an electric chair. John Denver touched us with his moving music and love for Colorado (I'm not a native). His music helped me through some difficult times, when I just moved here as a child. Kenny, what will you have to justify your actions to God on judgment day? Maybe you and Gary Lee Davis will be roommates in hell. Unlike John Denver, you won't make it to heaven.

Regarding the October 16 Off Limits item on the JonBenet Ramsey investigation:

You know, I am sick and tired of hearing about this case--which is not really a case, after all! How many people do you know who can get away with murder and still not be under custody? Come on--this is crazy. It's just a prime example of how money can help people weasel their way out of trouble. These people will not be convicted, even though they deserve to be.

So let's just face it: Our justice system here in Colorado is in the Mayberry era. Don't waste our time with these little heartbreaking stories. Just get it over with!
