Great news, thanks! Luckily Denver is not a major metropolitan city, and with NORAD just down the street (and Cheyenne Mountain, Dick Cheney's home), I have nothing to fear...nothing.
And by the way, how credible is the source you spoke to? How well do you know this person?

Denver isn't a major metropolitan city, just ask any resident here. And I can ride my bike across Denver (all the way across) in a quickster, under 40 minutes. That is not indicative of a "big city". But enough of our quibble over Denver, which is completely safe from attack, what about the big cities at risk? How did warrenb verify the information? Via email? Phone call? Walk-in? I am curious as to the process he went in verifying this information.

Um, I wasn't talking about driving across Denver, I was talking about biking across Denver. Last Halloween I biked from where I live, which is just outside the Denver city limits, to the old airport in about 50 minutes. I did so, incidentally, in a t-shirt, and at night. Granted I mapped it out on google maps and had my mp3 player and moved with the speed of the ancients, but, still, not a big city.
You can cite whatever source you want but this is still a cow town. No one here considers Denver a "big city". You would be in the minority to suggest that it is. A minority. If you live in Denver and call it a big city people laugh at you.
And I believe the ignorance lies in thinking anything is "protected very well by our military...." Just my opinion.
I too am waiting for warrenb's response to our queries. Why start a thread, get me to pee uncontrollably, and then just leave...although Denver is safe, that I know.

Listen ...I'm not insulting your intelligence......But I don't think you " GET" what we are trying to tell you ......
Why? I couldn't tell you...
He was saying if he can't even drive in 30 min.....how can you bike it that fast?
How, when there are hundreds of big cities in our country......is Denver not a Major City.......
Considering there are 4 major sports teams in that town I would Highly doubt it is not a major city...
How many non major cities have 4 Major sports teams?
The only reason these teams are there is because there is a large enough population to support them........
I just don't think you get it....

Do I believe our government is evil enough to plan and carry out a human extermination plot, killing off and/or enslaving millions of people in FEMA concentration camps? No. Our politicians and government might be corrupt and greedy, but I don't see them as evil. I just don't.
