Boulder, the “liberal”, beautiful, green, outdoorsy, desirable locale is characterized by its wealthy, gun-toting, SUV sporting populace, and, of course those dry, dead-tree covered rocks jutting up from the Western edge of town (some refer to these as the Rocky Mountains, but, let’s be honest, when people think mountains, they think Lord of the Rings). The town was hailed last year as the nations “smartest” which was awarded by determining number of college degrees per capita; approximately one third of Boulder’s residents are affiliated with the university—it’s a college town. It’s also been spotted on countless other top ten lists, including “greenest” and best place for singles. The married trust-fund hippie locals could not be reached for comment, as they were off joy-riding in their Suburbans and Yukons, however, we know that they fire their AK-47s in agreeance.
