Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Our post about the 50 reasons we're glad we live in Denver and not the United States was warmly received by almost everyone -- but there were some exceptions.
Like, for instance, a onetime resident who's glad he headed west, as he stresses in the following screed.

i was born and raised in denver. just moved to portland 3 years ago. most the things you said can be said about portland first. denver sucks and is boring and lacks a lot of culture. and is constantly being strangled by yuppie controlling cheap skate republicans. and CU is nothing to be proud of by the way, a rich kid party school for date rapist frat boys.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
